How to Combine Multiple Components into a Single Installable Extension in Joomla?

Asked by Amvimedia 1 year ago Last activity 1 year ago

Hello,

I am currently working on a Joomla project where I have developed three separate components:

A custom fonts component
A custom stickers component
A custom sticker category component
A custom Module
I would like to combine these components into a single, unified extension that can be installed all at once.

Could someone guide me on the best approach to achieve this? Specifically:

How to structure the directories and package.xml manifest file for a single installable package?
How to ensure all three components are properly installed and registered during the installation process?
Are there any best practices or common pitfalls to avoid while creating a package with multiple components?
Any advice or examples related to handling this scenario in Joomla would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi,

In general, it's question for forum.joomla.org - here we don't deal with custom solutions that "hack" Joomla core.

For Joomla 3 there was "Components Anywhere" (RegularLabs.com) but due to low interest (popularity) Peter van Westen did not develop a version for Joomla 4 nor Joomla 5.

It means that you need to hire php developer.
