必要扩展库
php_xsl, php_curl, php_openssl
URL参数的意义
Section是最大的单元，只有一级。Section之下有多级的Category，最小的单元是Enity。但其实所有单元，都是同一组结构，存储于#__sobipro_object表中，对系统来说没什么分别。
sid = Section ID & Category ID & Enity ID
pid = parent section ID
源数据调试
sobipro的模板结构基于XSLT，也就是源数据是XML，经过XSLT加工后会转换为HTML，即PHP -> XML -> XSLT -> HTML，所以修改模板也就是修改XSLT文件。如果要深度修改模板，有时候需要修改源数据，修改XML输出，所以查看输出XML成为了模板调试的关键。后台设置Allow Raw XML Output为YES，前台在URL后面添加&xml=1，就会输出XML源数据。
XSLT编辑器
XSLT是标准格式文档，所以多数编辑器都会支持，而如果有条件，可以使用微软的visual studio 2012，会提供很好的语法提示。
目录结构
控制器 : components/com_sobipro/lib/ctrl/*
数据模型 : components/com_sobipro/lib/models/*
视图 : components/com_sobipro/lib/views/*
默认模板 : components/com_sobipro/usr/templates/default/*
模块模板 : components/com_sobipro/usr/templates/front/modules/*
字段：components/com_sobipro/opt/fields/*
源数据调整
模板的数据源是XML数据，XML数据从视图提供，例如category.php, entry.php, section.php
视图程序中只会生成array数据，而sobipro的框架会自动把它转换为XML。不过关于node的array描述有固定的格式，格式如下：
array(
'_complex' => 1,
'_data' => 'data',
'_attributes' => array('class' => 'item')
);
常用代码：
// 得到section下的所有category
SPLoader::loadController( 'section' );
$SPSectionCtrl = new SPSectionCtrl();
$SPSectionCtrl->setModel( SPLoader::loadModel( 'section' ) );
$sectionModel = $SPSectionCtrl->getModel();
$sectionModel->load(1);
$dbCategories = $sectionModel->getChilds( 'category', true );
// 得到某entry的name属性
SPFactory::Entry($id)->get( 'name' );
// 得到指定field name的文本值
$fields = SPFactory::Entry($id)->getFields();
echo $fields['field_firstname']->getRaw();
// 得到指定field的输入框
$fields = SPFactory::Entry($id)->getFields();
SPLoader::loadClass( 'mlo.input' );
$fields['field_firstname']->field();
// 得到image field的路径
$product = SPFactory::Entry( $id );
$files = SPConfig::unserialize($product->getField($fid)->getRaw());
echo $files['image'];
PS: image是一种field type，可以查field的代码得知field的属性
从其它地方载入sobipro框架
require_once ( implode( DS, array( JPATH_ROOT, 'components', 'com_sobipro', 'lib', 'sobi.php' ) ) );
Sobi::Init( JPATH_ROOT, JFactory::getConfig()->getValue( 'config.language' ), $sid );
