2. Modify as needed

CW Installer

CW Installer is a plugin for Joomla that allows you to download updates for CW Extensions from the Joomla administrator if you have the correct download ID. You can not use the Joomla updater for CW extensions without first configuring CW Installer. CW Whatever and CW So Meta are available without a membership, and therefore do not require CW Installer to use the Joomla updater.

CW Top Secret

CW Top Secret is a plugin for Joomla that prevents access to a site by unauthenticated users except for a designated set of components or menus.

Step 1:Installation

1. Login to your Joomla administrator
2. Go to Extensions > Manage, and go to the "Upload Package File" tab
3. Click the "Browse" button to locate your CW Top Secret installer package
4. Click the "Upload and Install" button to finish isntallation.

Step 2: Configuration

1. In the Joomla administrator, go to the plugin manager at Extensions > Plugins
2. Locate and open the CW Top Secret plugin
3. Note: All parameters are optional.
4. Select whether or not you want to use the first whitelist menu option.
5. If you selected "Yes" to using the first whitelist menu, select the first menu you would like to whitelist. Any menu item in this menu will be whitelisted, meaning that the user's access to that menu item will not be blocked by CW Top Secret.
6. Repeat the previous steps for the second and third whitelist menu options. You may whitelist up to 3 menus.
7. Enter a comma-separated list of components you would like to whitelist. The user's access to pages rendered by these components will not be blocked by CW Top Secret. The Joomla users component is already added here by default, because you want the user to be able to access the login form.
8. Enter a comma-separated list of components you would like to blacklist. The user's access to these components will be blocked regardless of whether or not the components have menu items in the whitelisted menus. Note that this only applies to unauthenticated users.
9. Select whether or not you want CW Top Secret to only run on the frontend of the site. Select "Yes" to ignore the administrator and only run on the front end.

CW Whatever

CW Whatever Component

Step 1: Create a template override

The first thing you want to do is create a template override for the whatever component's whatever view. Here's how you do that:

1. In /templates/{YOUR_TEMPLATE}/html, create a folder called com_cw_whatever.
2. In the com_cw_whatever folder you just created, create a folder called whatever. This folder will contain your template override files.
3. In the whatever folder you just created, create a PHP file and name it whatever you want to name it.
4. Add your own custom script to the PHP file you created. Note that the "Whatever" parameter in the menu item is aviailable to use as $this->whatever in your PHP script.

Step 2: Create a CW Whatever menu item

1. In the Joomla administrator, create a new menu item to render your new CW Whatever script. Set the menu item type to CW Whatever > Whatever
2. In the menu item's Whatever tab, select your template override in the Script parameter.
3. [Optional] In the menu item's CW Whatever tab, you can set the Whatever parameter to whatever you want it to be.

CW Whatever Module

Step 1: Create a template override

The first thing you want to do is create a template override for the whatever module. Here's how you do that:

1. In /templates/{YOUR_TEMPLATE}/html, create a folder called mod_cw_whatever.
2. In the mod_cw_whatever folder you just created, create a PHP file and name it whatever you want to name it.
3. Add your own custom script to the PHP file you created. Note that the "Whatever" parameter in the module is aviailable to use as $whatever in your PHP script

Step 2: Add a CW Whatever module to any page(s) on your site

1. In the Joomla administrator, go to Extensions > Modules and click "New" to add a new module.
2. Select the CW Whatever module type.
3. Select the layout you wish to use for the module. This will have the same name as the template override you created in step 1.
4. [Optional] You can set the Whatever parameter to whatever you want it to be.

That's all there is to it. This component and module were designed to do as little as possible and be as simple as possible to enable you to add your own custom PHP scripts.
