component which has a user.php table definition inside
the administrator/components/com_s omething/tables directory.
Here is what happen:
We have a small administrator module in which we need the some data of the -
Proposal on New MVC Classes and Backward Compatibility
*In a recent thread in the Platform list (

there was a long discussion about an important pull request in the
platform. The thrust of this pull request is to make significant changes to
the MVC implementation in the platform. -
Missing JError at JApplication
Lasts days I decided try use JApplication to personal applications
development. In my first try I think I found a situation where we could add
a Exception to JApplication code, and I want confirm here.
At JApplication.php, line 199 we have:
$info = JApplicationHelper::getClientI nfo($client, true);

setQuery() method in JDatabase
In the setQuery() method we have the following code:
$this->limit = (int) $limit;
$this->offset = (int) $offset;
This code ensures we get integers, but we can still get SQL errors if one
of these values is negative.
If we prevented negative numbers for these values (with something like the

Plugin class names
I was working on an application with a plugin with the new mvc and it made
me wonder if to be consistent with what we are doing elsewhere it makes
sense to begin those class names with Plugin rather than Plg as we have
been doing.
Also, what's the intention with the authentication methods that are in - JApplicationCli and Drush

JHttpTransportCurl and ssl?
Hey guys!
Is there any way to use the JHttpTransportCurl with ssl?
Basically I need to set those options:
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_ANY);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, true);
But I can't seem to figure out how to do it? is this at all possible? -
MS SQL Server and JDatabase
Shortly, I am going to begin working with JDatabase and SQL server. If
anyone has any advise, it would be appreciated.
Does the JDatabase solution require an ODBC driver? Or, does it use a
native SQL Server driver?
Does anyone knows of a tool that can automate the transformation of MySQL
DDL to Transact SQL? -
2 JFormField issues
First, a simple bug in the JFormFieldColor field type. When inserting
2 or more color fields via XML form definition, the second and
subsequent fields are unusable. The first works fine, but when a
color is selected - the color hex is sent to all color fields in the
form. The second and subsequent color fields will display the -
Object oriented component loading - any plan? (link to CMS discussion)
Hi all, I posted that topic in the CMS mailing list because so far (Joomla
2.5 and Platform 1.4) component is still managed in the CMS, but as it is
something that sooner or later will go in the platform, I thought to put a
reminder here so to not duplicate the topic.
Everything in components is object oriented, with the exception of the -
Joomla Composers
So, I've been working on a few skeleton repo's to help people
kickstart their platform apps. The idea is that these are more than
just examples - they are whole repo's that you'd clone, copy or
cherry-pick to get started on your own projects, but they are complete
in their own right to get a feel for how platform apps would be built -
Proposal to add quoteDateTime to JDatabaseDriver class
Hi,
[I mentioned this a couple of weeks back on the general list and was asked to
raise it here for platform]
Would anybody oppose the addition of a quoteDateTime method to the database
driver class?
The issue is that not all RDBMS use string literals for date/time values. The
way things are done currently using getDateFormat (and JDate::toSql accordingly) -
JDatabaseFactory Usage
Am I using the JDatabaseFactory, as intended?
1. Get an instance of JDatabaseFactory
$dbFactory = JDatabaseFactory::getInstance( );
2. Create a database connection (like JFactory::getDatabase(); does now)
$options = array(
'driver' => 'mysqli',
'host' => 'localhost',
'user' => 'root',
'password' => 'definitely not root because that would be crazy', - GSoC: Project JAmazonS3 package

Com_menu mentypes model (J!2.5.x)

I think we should allow devs to add custom attributes to metadata.xml that are reflected in the menu they create. I have modified the model to show what I mean. The code is here [link]. Let me know if I am thinking right!

Simplified MVC.
Just wanting to draw everyone's attention to this important pull request:

The key features are that JModel, JView and JController are now
interfaces. This would normally cause a backward compatibility
problem but the existing MVC classes have been moved to the /legacy/ -

Official Announcement - Pull Tester is back
So a while ago the Pull Tester mysteriously disappeared from the build
server, causing it to stop working. Due to a lack of time on my part it
took a while to bring it back. I took the opportunity to take advantage of
some of the fine work that Nikolai Plath has done in making significant
improvements to the code and building in features that I had had on my mind -

As a step in learning Joomla Platform, I was trying to understand how the

I've noticed that in the old files, there was a method *route* in
JApplication which was doing some of the routing part. Now the route should - GSoc Proposal - JMediawikiPackage

Exceptions and Errors: what are they used FOR
Part of the problem of following a discussion on changes to JException and
JError is, I believe, a difference in viewpoint.
From the point of view of developing platform code, when an exception is to
be thrown that's it, end of the line, abort everything and die. Provide
enough information in the exception for debugging and DIE. -
JInputFiles - missed definition of source for read data

is the time to get those in or make sure any existing pulls merge -
JString::parse_url
Hey,
Trying to fix one bug for JString::parse_url [1] , I have found two ways to do it. One would be with Regex and the other one would be by adding a small tweak to the existing code. I think the second one would be better but I would be glad to hear your thoughts too.
Moreover, I have added in some unit tests for that method. I was hoping that maybe you can take a look over them too. - Build.joomla.com discrepency

Should I merge my git feature branches from master or staging ?
This is a general question about how to proceed with my branches
before making a pull request..
So, before making a pull request you should merge (or rebase) your
branch with the current code from the Joomla! repository.
The question is if your should merge the master or the staging branch.
