I have done what you said and here is the result:
1) When I select the original Joomla installation 1.0.15 that comes with the package, it shows all Contants, Classes and Functions. When I select the newlly created project for Joomla 1.5.3, it does not show anything on these areas.
2) I can run and the frontpage shows in the Browser Output. When I select one of the menu options that I have created to go to "Send New WebLink" it displays the following text and not the page as it should be:
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me... I am a newbee at these type of development and I am looking for help everywhere I can get.
My objective is to have a dev environment that I can run, debug and create in Joomla! 1.5.X. If you can also point to Wizards that will help me create a component, module and/or plugins, that would also be great.
