When I test my component in the sandbox the Joomla User fields do not populate. I need to create "accounts" and tie them to a Joomla user account, so that field is required. I am not able to test the component because I can not assign a user to the account. The drop down says "Select Account Holder" and I get a "This field is Required" error because I can not change the drop down to any user.

What should I do to get a user to show up in the Joomla User select box when testing in the sandbox?

To clarify, in your fields list, your user field should have a + sign. Click it and drag the username field to your layout. Hope it helps, Gez Need help with your Cook/Joomla Project? .

I don't see a + sign associated with the Joomla user Data Type. I tried to drag that data type to the Wizards column to see if it would give me the + like it did with the Author and other Wizards, but that did not work. To be clear here is what I am doing:

Created the Table
Added Ordering, Published, Checked out, and Author Wizards
Used the + signs in the Wizards to add the fields to the table
Switched to Data Types
Dragged Joomla user to the Data fields, naming it Account Holder/account_holder
Edited the properties of the Joomla User (Account Holder) field to make it a required field

Should I be using the Foreign Key data type and linking it back to the user table for this instead?

I presumed that you already had the field in a table. Hope it helps, Gez Need help with your Cook/Joomla Project? . PM me to find out what I can help with. NO time wasters please!!!
