structured Collection Itens for many tables. 21 Dec 2013 20:05 #11834

Hello, it's a pleasure to be part of the community.
I am creating a component for jobs.

My problem is in the amount of tables I'll use.
There are many tables and many Collections

In component generator I noticed that the Collections are created solely with no set child Collections within a Collections parent.
Example of the way that I need

BackEnd MyMenuComponent [Schools]
| -> New Schools
| -> ActiveSchools
| -> LoremImpsul

BackEnd MyMenuComponent [Candidates]
|-> New Candidate
|-> Active Candidates
|-> Sample saple...


Using the own generator, it is possible I create my collections of structured way, as I mentioned above?

PS: I am BRASIL and i using the plan three months of the generator. I started using the little time, but I really enjoyed the that i tested

Do you mean 'Item' views ?
You must create 'Item' layouts, as well as Collections as you did.

Did you watched the videos ? It is explained there.

Yes Yes I've watched every video lessons!

See the image below!


[nivel], [status] and [test]
these menus should stay within the menu candidates Or, not visible in this menu list, and only visible on the screen "[candidato]".
Otherwise, I'll have a huge mess of screens and names, because I need specifics menus for schools, candidates and administrators!
Could you give me some light?

Ok, I understand.
You speak about the menus.

You must change the manifest XML file.
myComponent.xml

Note 1 :
You must reinstall your component to see the changes, because this menu is created in database from this manifest during installation.

Note 2 :
Unfortunatly, the fork system does not works on this file.
So you must do the chenges in the generated manifest file.

Remember to keep your changes.

I usually put it in the fork folder as well as a backup copy.
Every time you make a change in this manifest file, override the copy backup in the fork directory.
Every time you reinstall a fresh install, do the opposite: Pick the manifest file in the fork folder (unchanged) and override the xml file.

It worked perfectly. Thanks for this. :cheer:
Later I plan to group these menus also in CPANEL of the component.


I noticed that I can create different styles of classes for the <cpanel menus> through of the menus generator, located at: / libraries / jdom / html / menu / cpanel.php
I can continue this way or is there something simpler than I did not notice?

Thank you for listening again.

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
