Component - Prototyper

  • Name: jfoobar prototyper
  • Type: Component
  • Compatible: Joomla! 1.5+
  • Last update: 2009-06-19
  • Copyright: jfoobar
  • License: GPL 2.0

With this component you can create your sites complete menu system without even creating sections, categories or articles.

Install the component trough the Joomla! unified installer and go to the menu manager to add menu items. After hitting the new button you choose "type" = "prototyper". Choose the dummy content you would like to see for that specific menu item from the dropdown on the right or add a note in the textarea. Save the item and you're done, check the frontend of the site to see if the dummy content shows.

Now, when you have your real content in place you can simply change the menu type and hook it to an article, component or whatever you want to display under that menu item.

You can add more content types to prototyper by adding files to components\com_prototyper\demo_data directory and changing components\com_prototyper\metadata.xml

Wow, this component is really great! :-)

It works nice and it's easy now to create a new website with different menu's without setup an entire structure. Many thanks!
