'Cloning' a component 22 May 2012 02:33 #2401

lister171254 Topic Author Offline New Member Posts: 4 Thank you received: 0	I'm looking for an easy way of 'cloning'/'repackaging an existing component. We have a number of projects that have been configured/setup as components and I'm looking of 'copying' an existing component to a new component with a different name. That way I just need to modify some of the files to cater fro the new project. Is this possible with Cook?

Hello Lister171254, welcome to Cook Self Service!

Short answer; No. There is no facility to 'clone/copy' a component within or as a part of Cook.

Longer answer; Yes. If you build your component with Cook Self Service you can download it (during your subscription period) and then begin the process of Copying or Cloning it. As to How To Clone a component your best bet is to search the Joomla! Forums for greater detail. I tried on your behalf but did not have much luck.

If the component is well written with a good MVC structure, you can do that with a recent notepad++ or phpDesigner software. => change/replace the entry_name file such as comp_name.php, comp_name.xml ... => change/replace the classname keywords in all the files of the structure. it could be done quicky.

I found "cook" two days ago. Played around with it for a day and then within a day got rid of two legacy applications in IBM Lotus Domino Notes and replaced them with "cook". It was really easy. A piece of cake. Actually it was even easier than cooking. Cooking involves more work than developing with "cook". What can I say about "cook"? Great application great price for what it delivers great forum with a lot of information and fast responses active and friendly community fast forward moving development cycle So what should I say "Monsieur Le Cook"? Keep the good work going it will lead to success. Having become a paying member in the words of Edith Piaf may I say ..... non rien de rien ... je ne regrette rien. Vive La France.
