Long story short:
1. Had an idea for a website.
2. With virtually no programing experience, built a basic PHP site using a simple log-in script and taught myself a little PHP along the way.
3. Found Cook.
4. Built about 30% of the component using Cook, but I don't have enough experience in PHP to understand how to customise what I built in Cook.
What core functions I'm missing:
1. Paypal Payment gateway. (it's going to be a membership site).
2. Invite system (Needs to track who invites who, it's a bit like a one-way Facebook friend).
3. A couple of pages which combines data from multiple tables.
4. Upload small images, change the size automatically if necessary and save as a blob in the database. (I'm no expert, but after a little research, I've concluded that for the images size, population size and expected traffic, saving the images in the database shouldn't be an issue)
5. Clean up a small PHP script (not part of Joomla), with a focus on security.
My current project is less than 200 points, so it should end up a fairly small project.
What I'm looking for is a developer to can complete the project for me, using Cook where ever possible.
If there are any developers interested in the job, please contact me.
