Article Lookup Data Type 27 Nov 2012 09:28 #5654

blue-canoe Offline Senior Member Posts: 57 Thank you received: 16 Karma: 7	Hello, I just thought that it also would be nice to have another standard data type in the data types options. Similar as the Joomla User lookup, it would be nice to have a article lookup (ideally by category) to link to an article in the Joomla CMS. For the moment I can code it myself, but it will be a useful feature in the future I think. Kind regards, Misha

But i ment : is it possible whitin cook, so cook generates the code, something like joomla user. Cook generates an id in the table and can create a dropdown in the views Is that possible with tables that are not in the project? Is that possible with joomla tables?
