I'm quite new to joomla programming. I'm supposed to make a form together with coninciding database table. As of the moment, I'm quite confused on the things that I should take a look at.
What should be the first thing that I look at? Should I look at the components concept? I come from a Java background so this is still quite confusing for me. I've already seen several forms extensions for joomla, however, i'd like to be able to create my own form from scratch.
What are the first things I should look at? Would appreciate it if you can give me pointers.
Thanks
Depending on the size of the form I would use a module rather than a component if it's going to be fairly simple. To get you started off with a module, you can use the Module Generator. Make sure you set " Helper File " to " Yes ".
Ok basically, lets say your module is called " Test Form ".
You are going to have 3 main files:
