Hello,

I am building an html table based on user request. The user is presented with all possible values with a list of checkboxes. The query is built based on checked values.

In order to show appropriate number of columns, I want to evaluate the presence of the column based on the column name. To do this in my first PHP development, I used to used the PHP function mysql_field_name(). How can I achieve something similar in Joomla!, especially in Cook?

Thanks,

José

veCrea, Yes, I am familiar with MVC (although it is not natural to me), and getting able to find my way in the code generated by Cook. I like the way everything is prepared with Cook and want to stay as close as possible with it. There is certainly a way to evaluate based on the third term of JHTML.

JHTML::_('grid.sort',  "SUIVIRM6_FIELD_STATUT", '_statutfiche_.statut', $this->lists['order_Dir'], $this->lists['order'])

Or is there a better way?

Thanks,
