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

This is what you call a component builder. I was able to master using this in a very short time and the resulting component works like a charm. Not just a basic component builder but a fully working component builder with forms fields tables all ready to go. You can make the list and item views to display in the front and back end. Also there is a great forum just starting to evolve and I'm sure this will grow very rapidly when you all realise how good this tool is.
