a6Mambo Component Wizard Available

[active6]

A wizard to generate a basic component zip file, ready for installation in a Mambo Web Site, is now available at www.active6.com for registered users.

This wizard was created to solve a simple, but time-consuming problem: to eliminiate the repetitive taks of modifying basic installation and XML files that comprise a Mambo component.

The wizard allows you to enter the basic component details, like name, version, license type, mail info and web site. It will pre-fill most values with the information taken from your free user registration at our site, so you won't need to retype it every time. Then, just click and the component zip file can be downloaded.

I hope other Mambo developers out there find it useful.

Great little component. I'm looking into coding new components/modules in the near future. Hope this helps.

Thanks.

Would be great if you could add a filelist so it added those to the xml.

root/
index
abc
def

images/
1
2
3

foldername/


Deafault for files would be php images jpg unless other wise specified

root/
index
abc.htm
def.doc

images/

Etc

How about porting this to template installations too! A great idea by the way! Kudos to you!

Not sure when but the developer plans modules and templates and GNU on the wizards at some point.
