Create Project Structure from a Template

Hello,

i want to add a script that helps me a lot. I often create projects with the same structure (e.g. joomla-extensions). This script creates a new directory structure with file read from a template-directory-structure. Create a template directory structure you want to use. You can use placeholders (see the code) in your filenames, directory names and file content. They will be replaced by the script.

Just create a new folder in your explorer or project list, right-click and select your created menu-item. The script will create a whole new structure below this folder.

To make this work, create a new menu-item in Tools/Settings - Integration - Add Menu. Set "Execute with" to "Shell" and "Command line" to something like this:
Code:
"@php5@" -n -f c:\entwicklung\createj15cmp.php -- "@Name@" "@FName@"
where "c:\entwicklung\createj15cmp.php" should be of course the path to your script.

I have added two screenshots to show my settings:



Here is the code for the script. Please read the comments to see which settings you can / should edit:
Code:

I just found your post through a forum search and noticed there were no replies. Being new to the Joomla CMS I thought I would give the post a bump and see who came calling with some help for the both of us.
