This is a multi-part tutorial on how to develop a Model-View-Contoller Component for Joomla! 2.5. You can find the other parts of this tutorial on each page in the right sidebar under "Articles in this Series".
Read the Introduction or Skip to the first part of this tutorial.
You need Joomla! 2.5 (with PHP, MySQL, Apache and Microsoft II) or greater for this tutorial.
Joomla! 2.5 is constructed using three different applications:
- installation (used for installing Joomla)
- administrator (used for managing content)
- public (used for displaying content)
The installation application is used once. The administrator and public are used through the concept of components. Each component has two entry points:
- one is located in the components directory (it is used for displaying content)
- one is located in the administrator/components directory (it is used for managing content)
Both are called com_componentname/componentname.php (the com_ prefix is a historical trace)
Next: Developing a Basic Component

The War on Salt – When Is It Time to Shake The Habit?
The FDA has been urged to take action in decreasing the amount of salt in our food. Americans continue to consume much more than the recommended amount which has lead to salt intake becoming the most preventable reason for high blood pressure (HBP).
According to Dr. Chad Rhoden, "public leaders do have the social responsibility to increase health initiatives to reduce sodium consumption in the US since the evidence is clear."
Kinshasha talked with Dr. Rhoden, a leading authority on disease prevention and a heart expert who is determined to help Americans break their salt addiction, Dr. Rhoden (author of Bringing Down High Blood Pressure) feels that the "awareness of the health risk related to sodium consumption today is analogous to the awareness seen in recent decades regarding smoking/tobacco use."

Austrian Studies: Music or German in Vienna
May 18 - June 4, 2016
The Program
Vienna: City of Music, 1781-1827
When Mozart arrived in Vienna in 1781, he found a world rich in musical possibilities. The capital of the Holy Roman Empire, under the enlightened rule of Joseph II, fostered a vibrant artistic culture in which composers were able to create some of the enduring masterpieces of Western music. Upon Mozart's arrival, he befriended Joseph Haydn, who himself was the most celebrated composer of the day. A decade later, Mozart's life was cut tragically short; and a relative musical unknown moved to Vienna "to receive the spirit of Mozart from Haydn's hands"—Ludwig van Beethoven. The works of this great Classical triumvirate have been a cornerstone of music history ever since.

Students will experience first-hand the more human side of the humanities while studying music history from inside the world of its creators.

Knitting needle cap
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
|This article does not cite any references or sources. (May 2014)
A knitting needle cap, also known as a point protector,[citation needed] is a cover placed on the tip of a knitting needle that is being used for a project that is resting. The cap prevents stitches from coming off the ends of needles.
There are knitting needle caps for both one and two needles. Those made for one needle look similar to erasers that are attached to the ends of pencils. Those for two needles are wide and flat with two holes.

Americans have always been trailblazers, from laying the track on the first intercontinental railroad to hacking through the petrified forest of national flags on the moon. Conquer the final frontier, the ocean, with this Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options
- $158 for a two-hour jetpack-flight lesson with 20 minutes of flying time for one ($250 value)
- $263 for a two-hour jetpack-flight lesson with 20 minutes of flying time for two ($450 value)
Expert instructors train students on the safety and technique of using JetLev, a water-propelled jet pack. After covering the basics of steering, walking on water, and basic controls, guests zip around for 20 minutes of flying time.
Relentless Watersports
With the help of Relentless Watersports' water-powered jet pack, it only takes a few seconds to go from lazily floating on the surface of the water to shooting through the sky. An instructor engages the jet pack's hand throttles, triggering its 200-horsepower engine to send streams of water coursing through a 10-meter hose, which in turn churns the water around you to launch you gracefully into the air. You can reach heights of up to 30 feet, much like a very tentative and cautious eagle.
This process might sound intimidating, but that's where the certified and CPR-trained instructors come in. They teach aquatic explorers the safety rules and techniques necessary to operate a JetLev jet pack, covering how to literally walk on water, hover above the water's surface, and turn on a dime.

After being mere spectators at the war's early battles, civilians in the war zone later would become unwilling participants and victims of the war's expanding scope and horror.
In response to the hardships imposed upon their fellow citizens by the war, governments and civilians on both sides mobilized to provide comfort, encouragement, and material goods. Unfortunately, due to scarcity of resources and devastation caused by the Union armies, the Confederate government failed almost completely to care for the families of its soldiers
