I've written a few joomla components but feel like I could write them better and more efficient. I was hoping someone can recommend me an example I can download which follows mvc and is written well .and I'm not talking hello world, something with many features. joomla 1.5 only
com_weblinks in default Joomla! 1.5 installation is the only component which is fully written with Joomla 1.5 MVC.
I suggest you to look at it when you're writing a new component - that's what i do.
Have you followed the tutorial at joomla docs? I know it's a "helloworld" example, but it shows how to implement a model using the database, the controller, and the view. I think it's a good point to start.

In the last 3 months, i have learnt html, css, js and php and now i'm trying to learn Framework Codeigniter. My teacher gave me a rough idea abt MVC and asked me to download a project made on codeigniter from internet and edit it.
I downloaded a login form project and tried to read it. But i'm still kind of confused how everything works. i hv 2 questions:
What is the correct approach to learn codeigniter?
In how many days one can learn codeigniter? (i practice around 6-7 hrs a day)
The best way to learn codeigniter is to read the manual of codeigniter
Because, codeigniter framework is so much popular for their well formatted and clean documentation.
Or you can check this for beginner level tutorial
Or if you want to learn codeigniter by doing practical projects then you can follow this link
I learned CI over a weekend using this technique.
Start with simply setting up a 2 page site.
Home and About Us.
Pass simple string variables from the controllers to the views.
Next, bring a model into it.
Make a method in your model that returns some plain text, to the controller and finally to the model.
Next, make the model actually make a request to your database and return the result to the constructor then view.
After that try these:
write a helper function
Try making a basic route
Log a debugging message
upload a file from a form using the upload library
That's a good grounding in CI
Keep in mind Codeigniter is no longer in development also.
If your keen on sticking with PHP, you might want to check out the similar active project called "Laravel" after getting the hang of CIs very simple MVC structure.
Good luck!
the common way is read their manual and follow the guide, the another approach is search youtube for codeigniter turial, there are many good tutorial out there and easy to follow for example here is my result in the first place for keyword "codeigniter tutorial"

I'm looking for an abstract management component for Joomla 2.5. Google guides me to this page, which Joomla has deleted it.
Do you know any free component? (or I have to write myself...)
J! Research may be helful for you if you want to organize abastracts but not run a conference.

I am searching for a Blogging tools like wordpress. But I want MVC based tools to extend my blog with MVC structure.
My main requirements is
Must be based on MVC
Simple & lightweight
it's blog url structure should be domain.com/cat_name/post_title , because my current wordpress blog is like that, I don't want to lose Facebook Share and Tweets.
I want a simple one, because this is learning only.
Clarifying: if a CMS you use is based on a MVC design pattern or not is irrelevant to you as an user, except if you want to meddle with its inner workings (which you don't - a CMS is made to be used and possibly extended, but in 99% of use cases, if it isn't extendable to your needs, changing the source code is a bad idea, as it will most likely break with any updates you may want to make)
You may want a MVC framework, which will in turn allow you to **code** a CMS of your own, or use a good, extendable, CMS app
The one I use is ProcessWire, which is a CMS/CMF (F stands for Framework) php app, and seems to be the kind of thing you are looking for - it manages your content for you (the default installation comes with a few demo pages) but you define the fields, and you use them to display your content at will. Check it out - the user forum is quite active, and people there are really helpful.
Well there are tons of Content Managment System Based on MVC frameworks (eg . CodeIgniter ) . I personally recommend Pyro ( Based on CodeIgniter) but other also seem promising . but i don't know much since i haven't tried .
Note that this is a highly relative question and will bring forth a ton of opinions and not real answers. With that in mind, here is my answer.
I know of a tool that you can use to install an MVC template for and on top of ProcessWire along with basic project managing tasks using gulp. Note, the M will be considered ProcessWire.
Have a look on github.com and look at the profile of fixate and repo generator-fixate-pw. (ie: generator-fixate-pw, added the sentence if the link breaks).
Install this by following the instructions on the repository. The tool is very specific but learning to use the framework helped improve my php skills allot (still learning allot).
Whether the CMS will be used as a blog or not will depend on your implementation of the install.
I am trying to convert a php application to joomla1.5 app. I have read some docs on how to create components in joomla1.5 but however i am lost at the best approach to create a simple CRUD frontend Component.
Here are my few questions
1) Should i perform my CRUD operations using JTable or simply use models and write my insert,update,select and delete scripts in the methods?
2) Where should this table class be placed if JTable
Thanks
Ok, first thing before you get too far is to upgrade to 2.5. There is no point in developing anything for software that is reaching end of life in about 60 days.
Next, anything dealing with the database should be put in the model. In Joomla it should be pretty straight forward, have you ready the MVC tutorial? Start with that, it should clear things up.

Yeah, forget Joomla 1.5 and then use this scaffolding tool
So I'm new to both Joomla and Expression Engine, and want to know if I can use it like I'd like. I've already made a full site, and would like to integrate blogging into the site. The site is on CodeIgniter.
Is there a way that I could create a form template for submitting a post which would then save to my Joomla/CodeIgniter DB. Then, on a different page, use a different Joomla/CodeIgniter template to display the blog in the form I would like.
Note that this wouldn't necessarily be powered by EE or Joomla. From what I understand, and from all the examples I've seen, you have to make the html of the entire page inside of their templates.
At worst, if neither work, is there anything I can use to do this?
Thanks!
I would think EE would be the way to go since as of a few months ago, EE was 100% built on CodeIgnitor. I'm not sure from your question what you are trying to do - but in short, if you install/use EE to power your blog it is going to write to the EE database. That said, you can embed anything within an EE template (raw PHP or CI), including a form that would post to your existing site database.
There's some talk about this on the EE forums:
