2.5.1

New Feature

Filter a list directly from a menu item

When you create a menu item to a list, you can choose to filter on a predefined value. (Modal picker)
For instance, you can filter on a category if category is a foreign key of your table.
This feature works for unlimited deep of foreign key.
Simply instance a filter on the concerned list. If you do not physicaly want this filter on the table, then delete it from your view and template file.

You can always filter directly by url.
ex: index.php?option=......&filter_category=4

I jumped and started to work on a demo component... but 2 days later this demo component became the real component. I just showed today the end result to my customer and he turned to me and said... "this is more than I expected"... All of this is because Cook did cut about 70% of my work and provided me more ways to improve the usability of the component. The end result was 17 tables all related between than to generate a full dashboard for the travel agents. Thanks for Cook developers for such great tool. This component would not be possible to be done at short time with all the features in it
