Episode 010 - Creating a Site Module for Joomla 3.x - Part 4
Channel: Joe Hildreth
Date: 2016-07-22

In this episode I create the database table using phpMyAdmin and LibreOffice Calc in order to generate the SQL that Joomla will need to install and populate the table for the Random Quote module to use.  I also cover the changes that need to be made to the SQL file as it comes from an export from phpMyAdmin so that Joomla can use it.  Finally, I cover the additions to the modules manifest file that are needed to copy the new code over and to get Joomla to both install the table and data to the database and if the user elects to uninstall the module, to run the code to remove the table and it's data that we added.
