Single Component/module installation

[SonPeo]

Hello,

I'm new in joomla and I've a questions for you.

I want make a unique installation that install a component and various modules all-in-one.
Is this possible?
if yes can someone link documentations to do this.

Tnx

Edit: i don't know if is something changed, but I'm speaking about J2.5

In your controller you should have a file install.php

Code: Select all

function com_install () {
  //do your component installation stuff here
}

//Install a module
$mod_installer = new JInstaller();
$mod_installer->install('path_to_module_folder');

Thanks for your reply, but could you clarify to me what's the path_to_module_folder i have to pass as parameter.

This is what imagine I have to do: I have a unique zip containing a component and also all modules i want to install.
I read that into .xml of component i have to indicate all files to install, I suppose all modules too. So the path_to_module_folder is the relative path inside the .zip or the path that will have after installation?

Regards

assuming that you have your module code inside the component zip in a folder called 'module' then the path will be:

Code: Select all

$mod_installer->install($this->parent->getPath('source').DS.'module');

hope this helps

Have a look at the component xmap. It installs as a package. It includes several plugins. Perhaps it works with modules as well.

Tnx to All,

I found a solution that fit my needs.

Joomla support native packaging that allow to make a unique zip containing all extension and install then together.

Who need can find at the link http://itprism.com/blog/native-joomla-p ... stallation the steps to follow.

But, do exists a complete online documentation about joomla that satisfied all need of a developer, or we need to "googling" and/or buy a book!.
