PhpStorm wasn't resolving those paths (understandably so), so I created a constant to takes it's place. That makes more sense anyway. In today's battle, I discovered that you can do this: /. @define 'rootdir' '/home/me/project/'./ // or /. @define 'ROOTDIR' '/home/me/project/'./ If you put that anywhere in the file then PhpStorm is able. Open PHPStorm and create a new project; Open the terminal and type the following: vagrant box add joomlatools/box. 8.Wait for the download to complete.Then type: vagrant init joomlatools/box. Now you have a full fledged Joomla development environment with a joomla.

Before you start

1. Download and install Joomla!.

2. Before you start working with Joomla!, make sure that the Joomla! Integration plugin is enabled. The plugin is bundled with PhpStorm and is activated by default. If the plugin is not activated, enable it on the Plugins page of the Settings/Preferences dialog Ctrl+Alt+S as described in Manage plugins.

Joomla! support

Joomla! support includes:

Phpstorm Joomla Download

• Ability to create a new project.

• JHTML::_($argument), JText::_($argument), JText::script(), JText::sprintf(); support.

  When JHTML::_($argument) is used, PhpStorm navigates with Ctrl+Click on the first argument to the corresponding class or method.

  For example, consider the following code:

  <?php $options[] = JHtml::_('select.option', $eid, $extension_name);

  Ctrl+Click on select.option leads to navigation to the option method of the class select.

  When all the other constructs are used, PhpStorm navigates with Ctrl+Click on the first argument to the corresponding property in the .ini file. For example, in the code

  $msg = JText::sprintf('COM_INSTALLER_INSTALL_ERROR', JText::_('COM_INSTALLER_TYPE_TYPE_' . strtoupper($package['type'])));

  Ctrl+Click on 'COM_INSTALLER_INSTALL_ERROR' leads to navigation to the property 'COM_INSTALLER_INSTALL_ERROR' in the file en-GB.com_installer.ini.
