Strange. It works on my hand.

When you create a new Menu Item, can you see the name of your component ? Do you mean the list of layout is empty or your component not appearing ?

Wich version of Joomla ?

For me there is no problem with your component. i tried it in local, it works perfectly.

Can you try on a fresh Joomla 2.5.6.

ok it works if i install the fresh download of the component but stops working if add my own code to it? does saving nit as a .zip or .tar.gz make a diffrence to that? everything else in my component is working fine.

All you must have are metadata.xml files in each front view directory.

EDIT : Maybe in you language file ? (en-GB.com_catering.sys.ini)

Did you wrote inside your component ?

Is it working on a fresh install ?

For starters it's just so easy to design an app in a way that I'm used to i.e. database first then views followed by customization. The fork system is pure brilliance from a developer standpoint as I can override things and still add and update my projects with minimal effort! Truly amazing to be able to build components in Joomla using incremental refinement without having to do everything by hand. Thanks for the great tool! I am so much more productive now than ever and I can't imagine building components any other way!!!!
