Joomla

Joomla CMS.

Make sure the projectName is set correctly, it's very important, because it's used for git, docker, mysql and joomla.

git clone git@git.nickyeoman.com:nick/joomla.git projectName

cd projectName

Development Environment

Let's update our bash_profile with some alias:

alias joomla='docker-compose exec -u www-data joomla php cli/joomla.php'

Allowing you to just run commands like this:

joomla core:check-updates
joomla site:down
joomla extension:list
joomla update:extensions:check
joomla cache:clean

Create A Component

1. Move to the directory where you would like to keep the component. cd ~/joomla-components/
2. Run component creator from your Joomla install. bash ~/projects/joomla/projectName/bin/create_component.sh
3. Optionally save to git repo.
4. build the zip file by running bin/build_component.sh
