This process will typically take several hours to do manually for an experienced developer and easily days for a beginner. Guaranteed to save you countless boring hours of work.
The code generated strictly follows the Joomla MVC structure and formatting guides.
Excellent Job, very very helpful
Thanks for building this tool, its really helpful and time saver.
First of all I'm not an expert of joomla! This tool is very helpful for me. I want to share one think for beginner like me. It took me a while to use the controller.php for my purpose. Because of the following code:
$controller->execute( null );
So beginner like me have to change this code to
$controller->execute( JRequest::getCmd('task'));
in order to use this as index.php?option=com_mycom&task=mytask
So, I request to the developer of this extension to change the above code generation so that beginner's like me can use this extension more easily.
Last of all thanks a million to share the extension with us.

Well, I am amazed to see other reviews not being 5 star. This is the one and only tool that I have personally used the most and I am a very happy user!
I would totally suggest it to anyone, and a small message to those who didn't vote 5star:
Please try to make a component all the way from the beginning, and then think again - I have.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!

This tool does exactly what it says on the tin! It creates the basic structure of a component which saves me tones of time, Highly recommended!
This is pretty much just a component skeleton creator. It creates a zip file that you need to add your own code into. Nothing else. Good for experienced users. With no interface or parameter generator this only gets 2/5 from me.
For far... one of the best!!!
This tool is a real time saver for Joomla extensions developers. Perfect for my need since I develop custom Joomla components for clients and this extension has reduced the development time to a great extent. Hats off!
I don't know exactly who wrote this or made this possible, but you have made my work and learning much easier with this tool. I have been working with Joomla for some time now and have wanting to learn how to write my own extensions. This tool was a god send in my learning process! Thank you very much!
What a time saver this is! You can install your newly created component immediately (of course, it will be empty, but still that is pretty cool).
Thanks to the developers of this.
Thanks to the developers of this.
This component generator, just to be clear, is really a webpage that after entering your name of the component you are intending to develop, generates the shell or framework of files and structure to then add your own code to complete the process of developing a component. The developer has not made this code available in a form where changes and additions are possible. That of course is their prerogative but it would be helpful if he would have.
The developer has graciously contributed his time to offer a great quick start to the development process, saving everyone else large amounts of their time. He is to be applauded for that effort.
Note: There is a small interaction issue due to a "feature" in Joomla 1.5, combined with PHP and this tool. You will likely experience an issue if your component name contains the string "view". If you name it with anything else, you should have no problems. (This behavior is supposed to be resolved when Joomla 1.6 is released)
