JEDchecker

This extension is able to check your components, modules or plugins for common errors that will prevent you from publishing your extension on the JED (Joomla! Extensions Directory).

Installing this extension

ZIP packages for installation in joomla can be found here: https://compojoom.com/downloads/official-releases-stable/jedchecker

Alternatively, download the sources of this repository and use Phing to build the packages.

Uploading your package

After installing this extension in your Joomla! backend, you can use it by uploading a Joomla! extension-package using the upload-button. Once uploaded, the contents of the package (your files) will be checked against JED-rules.

Adding rules

If you want to write a rule have a look a the administrator/components/com_jedchecker/library/rules folder.

You just need to add a new file with your rule, for example yourrule.php.

The file yourrule.php needs to have a class jedcheckerRulesYourrule and that class needs to have a function that accepts the basedir as parameter. This is all - the component will automatically call your rule check function.

Checking on existing files and folders

The extension also supports a scan of a pre-defined set of existing files and folders. For this to work, add a list of folders to a textfile tmp/jed_checker/local.txt. There should be a folder on each line. Once the file exists, a "Check" button becomes visible in the jedchecker-toolbar. Just hit it.

Example tmp/jed_checker/local.txt file:

    components/com_weblinks
    administrator/components/com_weblinks
    plugins/system
