Joomla! Discussion Forums

Hello

I really love the database class which Joomla is using and i am creating various personal applications which interact with mysql. I have been working on a class of my own but it silly to do such thing when there is already a tested class out there.

Is it possible to simply get some specific files from Joomla source so i can have this support at my project? If someone knows please let me know what exactly i need to use and if there are any pitfalls i might want to know.

It shouldn't be too difficult.

You might have to add the two files that it seems to include:
include $basePath . '/../configuration.php';
include $basePath . '/../offline.php';


But other than that, there should be no problem.
Joomla! 1.5 is actually designed so that the framework API can be used without the Joomla! CMS application.  It's pretty neat.

Thank you ian for the information. I wasn't aware of that for Joomla 1.5 since i haven't found time to play around with it yet. I have been looking at the class and it's pretty clear that can be used at a 3rd party project by having in mind what you've also said about the classes.
