Summary


Congratulations, you have now created your first extension for Joomla!: a plugin to change phone numbers in articles into Click to Call links. We learned about the installation XML file, and the PHP code required to make a simple plugin. We took a look at the different types of plugins in Joomla! and what events can trigger them. We then created an installable package of our plugin and tried it out on a Joomla! website. You can now add Joomla! Extension Developer to your resume!

In the next chapter, you will create your first Joomla! module.
