tours-toolkit

This extension replaces PR #40645. It will add missing packaging facilities to the guided tours.

Exporting tours is important for

• creators of tours who would like to export their work and import it into client's websites,
• third party extension developers who would like to create tours and make them available to their users,
• keep a directory of tours, available, downloadable and easily installable.

As of now, the toolkit includes a plugin and a component that allow to:

• export a tour as json, SQL or SQL with language keys files to each tour view,
• import tours as json,
• import tour steps from a CSV file,
• look for targets with the selector tool,
• go back and forth between the toolkit and the guided tours.

Check Releases for further information. pkg_guidedtourstoolkit.zip will install both extensions and enable the plugin.

Select elements on the page with the selector tool

Enable the selector tool.

The selector tool needs to be turned on to start the selection. Turn off to navigate to other pages.

Select an element on the page and copy the result.

The packaging tool

This is a work in progress.

The tours toolkit packaging tool will:

• export tours in both SQL formats supported by Joomla,
• grab and store media,
• create language files (when tours are multi-lingual),
• package all in an installable zip file.

Once packaged, the idea is to have a specific JED directory where people will be able to find extended core tours, third-party tours and other miscellaneous tours.
