It's a top priority for me because it's part of getting off Mootools to jQuery. My goal is to have the default admin and site templates just requiring jQuery for 3.0, as loading both libraries is a way too much. I purely want Moo as an option

Yes, i undertsood that. My point was that arguing too much on which color picker is the best is not so important right now. We just need a color picker that does what the current one does.

If anyone needs more, jquery is easily pluggable

Definitely agree on not getting distracted on it too much. I'm really liking the Spectrum colorpicker, think we'll go w/ that

Another idea: update status from overview.

Extensions like HikaShop, Virtuemart, ccInvoices have "update status" options to update the status of an order or payment in the extension overview. Every extension does this differently. Would be nice to have one way of doing it.

Maybe with the dame "drop in" modal as the batch button in template7 uses. That might be better then what most extensions have implemented now, as it would allow updating multiple orders at once.

Hey Everyone,

I am just starting to develop Joomla! extensions, mainly components. I really want to start by using best practices now (so I don't develop bad habits!)

Is there a standard for development in the backend for Joomla! 3.0 as yet? Mainly with reference to using bootstrap consistently.

Are all core components upto date now with these new standards so I can base my design on something similar.

Thanks

Lee

@Lee, glad to see you're checking for standards before building, thanks

I'd say definitely check the core admin views for reference, and keep these things in mind:

- Component cpanel - try to create as many useful admin modules for your component as possible for your own cpanel and so the user can copy them to their global cpanel. use the span2/span6/span4 layout

- List/subpage - use the span2/span10 layout with your submenu in the left nav (and any other vertical UI you'd like there) - also reference the article list layout for things like drag'n'drop, Order/Direction select boxes and Chosen js

- Edit/Detail - use either the full span12, or the span10/span2 like the Article Edit view with your most common params on the right. Use the bootstrap tab behavior if you use tabs (instead of the old mootools)

- Use classes .hasPopover and .hasTooltip for Bootstrap tooltips

I know, I know, we need to document all this I want to update this site to 3.0 and get some JUX docs going

G'day Kyle,

Thanks for your reply mate, I appreciate it

I was considering using the jquery ui for things like sortable and dragable element as I will be creating a dynamic forms component with the view of creating events management components.

I was thinking of using a cpanel as the entry point default view. Can you suggest a core component that uses this well? I can't find a lot of components with a good cpanel except the main admin one.

Thanks again for your help, I'm really looking forward to learning more about Joomla!

I should have mentioned that I can't find a lot of cpanels in joomla 2.5. I haven't really check out 3.0 in full as yet
