Joomla1.5 CRUD extension tutorial

I need to build a basic CRUD joomla extension for a customer.

On the user's side, it must display a product list when the user choose a category, and the product details when an item is selected in the list. On the product details page, the user can send a message to the site's owner regarding the chosen product.

On the admin side, user must be able to add/modify/dele开发者_如何转开发te products and categories. That's about it.

Does anybody knows (a) good tutorial(s) that could help me get started with this project?

I've worked with php 4 years ago and have 5+ years experience in web development (.net), but i'm new to joomla.

Thanks in advance!

Sounds like to me you are looking for an e-commerce extension with a catalog mode (no purchases/no cart enabled) and an Ask a Question form on product pages. I know that at least Virtuemart has this ability exactly. I am sure there are other simpler carts that will also accommodate your need. http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/e-commerce/shopping-cart

Spend a couple of hours trying out carts, no code writing required.

A great place to start is the Joomla docs site.

Checkout Component Development section. Also, here is MVC Component Tutorial (there are 6 section to it, look for links at the bottom for "Next"), it will definitely put you on the right track. You will have to add a lot of your project specific things and do out of the box things, but it should be pretty easy.

Just keep things separate to make it easier

• View/Template - your presentation
• Controller - logic
• Model - Data Access Layer (DAL)
