Standard Code Templates

The Standard code templates provide the capability to generate fully working Joomla! components for specific versions of Joomla!.  The functionality and features included in the Standard code templates is based on that of the core components of Joomla. They are coded to combine features from com_content and com_contact which can support a wide range of other components.

Besides the folders, files and code for a component to be generated the Joomla! Standard code templates also provide other extensions to create a full package for a component.  This includes:

  • Modules for display of items
  • Search plugin
  • Smart Search plugin
  • Item Navigation plugin
  • Vote plugin
  • Pagebreak plugin
  • Email Cloaking plugin
  • Load Module plugin

In line with the change in release methodology by Joomla!, Component Architect will be releasing new Standard code templates for each major (e.g. 3.x and 4.x)  release of Joomla!.
Note: for those not yet aware Joomla! is no longer using a Long Term Support (LTS) and Short Term Support (STS) releases system.  For further information see the following articles:
