I am writing a component for Joomla 1.5. There is a need for a Form in it, infact three forms are needed.
I have searched and looked a lot but could not find where to start so that i should be able to show the form on the front end. The forms will show up in the front end depending upon user information. There will be some difference in each from.
How can i program the form? I know how the components are written, but confused about how forms are integrated in components.
Here you can find a good tutorial about creating a Joomla Component http://docs.joomla.org/Developing_a_Model-View-Controller_Component_-_Part_1
Probably you have to create 3 views for each form.

I was wondering if I could i ask the best way forward. I am making a joomla site which will have an advanced registration form. Which I am planning to create with rsform pro. What would be the best method for people to able to search those registered users on the front page .
Any other method that one could or would advice rather than rsform pro like some extension that would ease both the registration and searching as a single component. The search function also needs to be multi optioned. I am trying to take the most informed decision before I start with the coding.
Thank you.
Easy Profile does a great job of this:
https://extensions.joomla.org/extension/easy-profile
See the example at https://www.easy-profile.com/users-list.html for a searchable user list.
You'll need the paid version for custom fields.
I think you can try JoomProfile. Is seems quite useful extension for joomla user profile management. If also has good and fast search http://demo.function90.com/joom-profile/search-in-joom-profile.html
Joomla already has some search components, so the best thing to do is to use it. Actually there is two components that you can use
Search, based on com_search component which do the work on the fly
Advanced search, based on com_finder component which index data and give it back after, it is more efficient and has more functionalities
In both case, you'll have to write a plugin to search user, joomla doesn't have it by default (or you can search some on joomle extensions).
How to add a custom form to sulu CMS (example: complex contact form) and save values to database? Is there any good example? Documentation does not mention about custom development.
Regards,
As long as your forms are static (meaning the content manager is not able to choose which fields are appearing), you can simply do what is described in the Symfony documentation.
There are two (probably even more) different possibilities to include Symfony forms:
The first one is to create your own route and controller, working with Symfony forms as you would do in any other Symfony application.
The second one is to use the template system of Sulu as described in our documentation. Then you can add a few fields for content management around the form the content manager can use. In the template defined in the <view> tag of the XML you can again use Symfony form stuff. If you need any special information from the system you can even change the <controller> tag of the XML, to pass more than only the data from the content management.
There are also some ideas concerning a more sophisticated form manager floating around, but that's far from being published.
I want to develop a joomla 2.5 porfolio extension.
So I need something in the backend to enter a couple of details.
On my frontpage I want to have listed the six latest projects and there will be a page in the frontend where all projects are listed.
I'm new to this whole joomla thing. At the moment I'm reading through the joomla docs and tutorials.
I'm a little bit confused because I'm not really sure which type of extension do I need.
Can all this be done with a single component or a module or do I have to mix both?
Because what I've understood so far a component can just be displayed as a independent page.
And a module has to be included in a page. Like {lastSixProjects}?
Can some please enlighten me a little bit?
If you want to create a page with portofolio only, you may create a component without a module...
If you want to put your portofolio in eg.: articles pages, search page, in a sidebar etc (like a image slideshow plugin) you must create a module (with a component assigned to it)
Please read this: http://docs.joomla.org/Extension_types_%28general_definitions%29 .
I undestrand that you want to put your portofolio in your front page... in this chase you MUST create a module.
Little explanation:
A module is an extension (similary to boxes, or widgets) that are arranged arround a component (in this chase com_content - on your FrontPage). Eg: Ads Module, Search Box Module etc.
A component is a super complex extension (similary to mini applications). It has an administration part and front-end part. All Joomla! pages loads a component. Eg: Content component, Search component etc.
I hope this will help you.
You want a component. Please read this: http://docs.joomla.org/Extension_types_%28general_definitions%29
Agree on 2 previous answers, you need a component with at least one table to store your projects. Then you need to link to a menu a view of the elements on a table. You should be able to make it work in 15 minutes with this component creator for Joomla http://www.component-creator.com/
Can someone please help me with implementing a customized form into Magento?
I have created a PHP form that works outside Magento that collects user data and allows them to upload a file. I am clueless as to how to get this functioning in the Magento environment. We are already taking advantage of the internal form with a contact us. This one is a feedback form to collect user data.
I have been digging around in Google for a couple of hours now and the only scenarios are how to get aspects of their forms working, not how they got it in there in the first place.
Your responses are appreciated. I am even open to you just giving me the right link to look at.
There is a good article about how to create a custom form in magento: Create custom form.
It describes how to create a route in config.xml, how to create the controller php (where you can handle the post action), and an example of the template file.
i want to create a custom form with some fields that i could add/edit/delete on database
how integrate my form with wordpress?
do you know a website ,that have a tutorial about this process ?
thanks
There are plugins that allow you to create custom forms (cformsII), and with some additional PHP knowledge you can retrieve the data using their API. I found this tutorial that quickly goes through installing, configuring and retrieving data from this plugin. That same page also listed some additional forms plugins that are worth looking at.
Another option is to do this using HTML and PHP without the use of a plugin. The following link will give you some insight in how to start and some code that can get you started:
http://www.paulmc.org/whatithink/2009/02/05/using-wordpress-templates-to-create-forms/
Note: There is a plugin called Formidable but only the Pro version allows you to easily retrieve the data from the database.
This is a really involved question, so it shouldn't be asked here.
