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

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

What type of connection do you want ? SQL JOIN ?

Able to modify the article, or only reading it ?

prepareQuery() :

addWhere(...)
addJoin(...)
addSelect(...)

Simple
Coding is now a piece of cake

Yes, thanks, that is possible by adding source to the genereted code, i knew.

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?

I think this has already been suggested as a feature request in the New Functionalities section. Moving this to that thread.

Great UX great performance and definitely a time saver. It only took me 10 minutes of playing around before purchasing a subscription and right now I just want to throw more money at you! I just started a new project and after just 4h I can already tell it probably saved me several days of work. I'm building a wholesale ordering system with sales rep management. I have not looked at the code yet but so far: impressive.
