So there is other documentation out there. I'm basing most of this article on the official Joomla 1.6 documentation: http://docs.joomla.org/Creating_a_profile_plugin and I want to use an example that worked for me.
Important: This is for Joomla version 1.6.x+.
Aim / Objective
- Add a field with a dropdown list.
Add a button to upload an avatar (and sync with 3rd party avatar).
Not riveting stuff but something that all my clients want. Fortunately for me, I just created one plugin which I can install on any number of Joomla 1.6 sites and it does all this for me... Neat huh?
Folder
I'm going to shove all these files into a folder which I will then compress and install using the Joomla! CMS Extension Manager.
I'm going to call the folder "profile5" (without the double-quotes) and create a subfolder called "profiles".
So I should end up with the following file/directory structure:
copyrawstyler
./profile5
./profile5/profiles
- ./profile5
- ./profile5/profiles
Also copy one of those handy blank "index.html" files into each of these folders in case "directory listing" gets enabled on your server.I'm going to refer to the files to create as being in this folder.
