Naming conventions... - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support


hello everyone. i'm new joomla, i'm decent php. anyway, decided try making component joomla, , i'm following joomla! developer's documentation. making mvc component, more precise.

anyway, decided name component "confdb" instead of helloworld, , hell broke loose, lead me few quesitons.

  1. where component name set? creating file {component_name}.xml? or setting <name> part of file? or both?
  2. the tutorial uses "<name>hello world!</name>", see joomla's default components using com_ names "<name>com_mailto</name>". what's better?
  3. can capital letters used in file names / component name?
  4. how can set name that's visible in extension manager: manage table?

i appreciate information documentation provides, feel it's vague deviate little.
