Joomshopping Modules: Quick icon

A quick access panel for JoomShopping right on the Joomla control panel — built after the standard Joomla Quick Icon module but tailored to the shop sections: categories, products, orders, customers and the other JoomShopping areas gathered in one place, with record counts and a "create new" button.

Features

• A configurable set of buttons (show_buttons, src/Form/buttons.xml) — for every button you switch on separately: visibility (enabled), the create button (create), the record count (count) and the update check (update)
• Available sections: categories, products, manufacturers, attributes, free attributes, labels, characteristics, reviews, orders, customers, user groups, vendors, options, configuration, import/export, SEO, update, addons, statistics, information — plus any item added by a jshoppingmenu type plugin (the onBeforeAdminOptionPanelIcoDisplay event)
• Item counts read straight from the database (for categories, products, manufacturers, labels, reviews, orders, customers, vendors) — direct queries to #__jshopping_categories, #__jshopping_products, #__jshopping_orders and others
• Update check: for "Information" the installed JoomShopping version (from jshopping.xml) is compared with the latest available one (a cached request to shop.xml on webdesigner-profi.de, 15 minute cache); for "Addons" the number of installed addons with an available update is counted (avialable_version_update)
• Permission check: a button is only shown when the user holds the core.manage right on com_jshopping
• A configurable module heading: your own icon (header_icon, a FontAwesome or Joomla icon class) and the HTML tag of the heading (header_tag: h1–h6, p, div)
• A warning is displayed if JoomShopping is not installed or if no button is enabled

Technical details

• A PSR-4 architecture with a service provider (services/provider.php), the AbstractModuleDispatcher dispatcher (src/Dispatcher/Dispatcher.php) and the JshopQuickIconHelper helper (all the business logic: the button list, the counts, the update check)
• A custom listcustom field (src/Field/ListCustomField.php) merges the static sections and the dynamic items coming from addons and plugins into one dropdown in the settings
• Published automatically into the cpanel position with default parameters (script.php); the same script removes obsolete legacy files on update
• The interface is translated into 4 languages: en-GB, ru-RU, uk-UA, de-DE

Main settings

• Buttons — the list of panel buttons: for each you set Button name, Enabled, the record create button (Create), the record count (Show quantity) and the update check (Check update)
• Header icon and Header tag — the icon and the HTML tag of the module heading
