[#32878] - Restructure plugins for sample data
- New
- Medium
- Build: staging
- # 32878
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Sample data plugins were made in J3 but now we have much changes in views / database / features.
Blog sample data have been updated, but this is not a valid
Now in J4 these plugins (blog sample data, multilanguage, testing) are not up to date and very hard to maintain.
Hard to maintain
- manily because data and control structure are not separated properly
- Texts are not all matching features and naming in J4
- Coding standads have changed
- and others
Describe the solution you'd like
A new concept is needed für plugins
Data must be checked and updated, for all views of the whole system
Restructuring should also contain the installation process - the menuItem "home", which then is in relation to mutilanguage data.
A good example of how plugins could be made is here #32744 (reply in thread)

@sandramay0905 if you clone the 4.0 dev branch of Joomla-cms, you get the plugin for testing sample data.
if you clone the 4.0 dev branch
thanks for the answer, no idea what it mean. I was only looking if i haven't found a plugin.
Texts should actually be simple to adjust. Those are regular language strings.
Coding standards should also be simple.
The control/data thing is actually hard to do in a plugin. Back then I thought about defining the data in an XML file and then read by the plugin. But since some parts have to be defined dynamically (eg the category id), static files don't work well.
As for copying files like suggested in the other thread. Imho it's a bit pointles, but could of course be done easily.
