Joomla Extensions Components Favourites Listing
Favourites Listing
Background
Initially this component/plugin was designed for an Exercise & Fitness website to allow users to make collections of their favourite exercises and workouts. The first incarnation was an adaptation of the Core Design "My Favorite Pages" module but since then it has undergone significant changes. Now the favourite pages are displayed in a fully-customisable frontpage-blog style layout in a way similar to the ListItems plugin.
Technicalities
This component needs the FavesList plugin to allow the user to collect Favourites - see that page for those technicalities. The component works to create the view of the collected favourites (or bookmarks). This is done by creating a new menu item in the back-end linking to the FavesList component. This menu item will have all of the parameters available for you to customise the appearance of the FavesList in exactly the same way as you set up your site's Frontpage. The only differences here are in the 'order by' fields. If you choose 'order by'='order' the favourite articles appear in the reverse order to the way they were added (so the most recently added appears first).
In the future we are hoping to develop this further to implement a back-end administration of Favourite Categories and then set up different Favourite Buttons on different sections/categories/articles etc.
Changelog
Version 1.03 (18-09-2009)
Fixed the error: ContentHelperRoute not found - this would have appeared with the newer versions of Joomla (1.5.12+). Thanks to everyone who reported this bug and their help with the testing of these fixes.
Version 1.02 (30-07-2009)
Fixed the error: JHTMLicon not found - caused by the wrong include path for the HTML helpers - you would only see this error if you were showing icons on the favourites list.
Version 1.01 (29-07-2009)
Fixed database table not being created.
Added instructions for use in the admin area - much better than the previous 404 not found screen!

I do not recognise any of the above code/error. It is most likely you are getting a conflict with some other plugins - try disabling all of these first. If you still have trouble send me a message via the contact form.

I installed component and plugin sucessfully. But after enable plugin, it only show "http://localhost/www/thoisuso/640" on top of article! What's happen? How can i do to fix this problem?
Thank you very much?
Can you send me a screenshot of the error (I will email you now). Have you tried disabling any other plugins you have activated and/or have you tested on a live site? Does this link appear where you would want the button to appear? or in a completely different place?

This should be fixed with the latest release (v1.03). If you have any other issues please get in touch using the contact form.

This is an excelent component. The only I found for adding favourites in joomla. My question is, will there be a version that displays only a link to the article which for example is the title of the article?
Regards
Glad you like the component!
If you configure the options on the menu item so that you have # leading articles = 0 = # intro articles and set any number for the links then you can also customise this list of links using the pageclass suffix. Hope this helps.

I just found this component , installed latestr version 1.03 of component and plugina, but the plugin doesn't apperar on the article. there is just this text "http://localhost/aaa/700" instad of button. Is there anything I overlooked?

Firstly many thanks for your app.
Is there a possibility of having a module showing users favorite articles instead of a menu link? or alternately it would be better if a jomsocial plugin showcasing users favorite articles are shown on his profile page.
Any possibilities??
This is a component I really like; many thanks you made it available!
I'm using it in my site www.portalmare.eu and as you can see it is a dutch language site. I've worked my way around to make your component and plugin appear in dutch. Now a want to add languages and don't know how to do this. Yes the JText items I can handle, but for other items (.js and .jpg) I can't find solutions. Can you give me e hint?
I am enable the plugin and configured .
But I am not getting the "Add to favorite button"
But I getting this content http://localhost/projects/mysite/370 instead of button..
Please help me.. to solve this issue..
Thanks and regards

Question:
Is there any way to move the location of the "Add / Remove" button in the article? I'd like to place the button in the same line as the "author/date modified" area instead of at the top of my articles. Where in the code does the plugin decide which part of the article to place the button?
That the users can subscribe the completly content of a category, not only one article?
Notice: Use of undefined constant boolean - assumed 'boolean' in plugins\content\faveslist.php on line 64
Joomla 1.5.14
- Another question of mine:
Can i call this plugin from my CCK template? This would be great (then I could specifi exactly for which articles this should be available!)
