I am new to Magento. I would like to get a good tutorial and example for creating module to display webservice . Please suggest to me some websites that explain these things in a simple way.
Thank you...
You can take a look at this thread, or this one but this is just for API v1.
There is a good explanation on how the API works on Alan Storm's blog
I also recommend trying out the Ultimate Module Creator. beside the fact that you ca build your module in a few clicks with it, it also has an option to generate the API files for your module (v1, v2 and WS-I compliant).
Don't consider this as self promotion. The extension I recommended is created by myself, but it's free and does not bring me any financial benefits.

I am developing a cs-cart based website and my client wants to integrate Fishbowl into his website.
I have searched an add-on for it, but there is no one for me.
I have experience developed a simple add-on and, now I am going to build one add-on to integrate fishbowl.
Please guide me if you have solid experience on integrating fishbowl and cs-cart or another warehouse solution for cs-cart.
I don't understand why the fishbowl doesn't provide or developed the add-on for it.
Please help!
Thanks for reading!
Well, there are a few things to watch out for, and therefore a number of options.
Firstly, what does your client really want. Does he want the stock to be updated on the fly, or once a night? If the client wants to stock to be updated on the fly you will need to add some sort of post function for updating products to also execute your code. If your client wants it only once a night you could just get away by sending every product in the database (with your selected columns).
Secondly, try using object oriented code. If you are really into PHP you will know what I mean by this. Otherwise dont bother (or try learing PHP Object Oriented), though I must note that this can make your addon significantly faster.
Thirdly, use the provided dbquery function
If you have any more questions regarding this, feel free to ask.
I have the following situation. I'm building a completely new joomla site and community from scratch. The client wants to use community builder for user management, mainly because kunena and in the future jomsocial will be added. Logically, I want al those parts to be connected, and to be maintainable in an easy way.
I wan't to create a class that handles the login information from my own form, preferable using ajax. Unfortunately, I can't find the slightest heads up on how to do that, while it seems to me that, that shouldn't be to hard, right?
Hope someone knows the trick!
Had a little look on Google and found this Login module that supports Community Builder and uses Ajax technologies:
http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/access-a-security/site-access/authentication/20452
This module is however commercial. I give feedback on this, but I have never used it before. However, I think the ratings and reviews speak for themselves.
I'm not sure why you want to use your own form for the login module as Community Builder allows you to add your own field and so on.
Hope this helps
I added 2 tables, for now, maybe will need more and I'm looking on how to add an administration page on the backend side. I found this SO question Magento: Custom Module: How to Manage with Multiple tables that is extactly whay I need. The answer given is just, in my own words, that's too dificult to achieve and too long to explain in SO.
So, anyone willing to share some link, tutorial or DIY step by step explanation? I've already my models working and configured, thanks to #AlanStorm tutorials. I'm doing CRUD operations from within my code but I need to do it from backend on a window for administration purposes.
I thought this Magento Custom CRUD Application Tutorial would help me but it involves using magento ModuleCreator plugin and is not working for me on magento 1.7.0.2. Also I already have my own module fully configured so lot of what module creator adds is not needed.
Found this sample/tutorial/code but I'm having hard time following it, lot of obscure points and not sure what I'm doing, even if it is correct.
You could definitely benefit from some adminhtml grids, there are no shortage of tutorials if you look for them. I wrote my own which I now shamelessly plug here.
I need a simple extension which will simply collect email id's from users who want to hear discount offers from me and also allows anybody to unsubscribe from the mailing list.
Which will be the simple and best one for Joomla 1.5?
I used the following components: Communicator, JNews and AcaJoom
They are all very easy to use. All of them are provided with component for admin, subscribtion module and plugin to integrate subscribtion form into a article. The most simple is Communicator. I used it more often then others
I hope it is helpfull.
I am using AcyMailing, and would say works perfect. You can create different lists, and export users easily. It supports Joomla 1.5 as well.
i have created a component using this http://www.notwebdesign.com/joomla-component-creator/index.php component creator how can i add a simple registration form in that and also make its backend looks like the other component
The name of that utility is a little misleading since it only creates the structure of a component. If you want to add functionality to the structure created you will need to actually put in the code that does what ever you need it to do. Think of this as the foundation and framework of a house. You actually have to put the walls up and furnish it.
It would probably be helpful to understand the files that have been created for you so you know what needs to be added. I would recommend learning how to build a component from scratch first. Joomla has pretty good documentation on that here - http://docs.joomla.org/Developing_a_Model-View-Controller_Component_-_Part_1
i have develop the Lots of component from this site http://www.notwebdesign.com/joomla-component-creator/index.php .
1) First Create the components and give the name and crrate the require field fo the registration from .and save the components then after the download this components.
2) Install the components in your joomla site.
3) Go to the Fornt-end view components folder. and create a form in the default.php page and save and update operation query is written in the model .
Your Registration page is ready.
This tutorial is the best I have come across so far. It will hopefully guide you to understand the MVC structure that the component generating site delivers to you.
I am actually the developer of the Component Creator you have used. It only creates the MVC files and structures needed to quickly create a component. You still need quite good PHP skills to develop a fully working component.
The component creator helps developers with the tedious tasks of building the framework.
