Can you be more precise please ?
Do you mean external tables, or external database ?
What do you want to do exactly ? Read / Write ?

In case you want to CRUD a table, just create it in the builder as a regular table. Than simply change the name declarations of this table. (in the model)

The ideal solution is to connect with one external DB table in Write and read

the DB is locate into same Server (localhost)

I think you need to create a table class in the /tables folder.
Then the 3rd parameter ($db) of the constructor is containing the db config.


See in the JTable documentation.
Hope it helps. If you can't make it, I will take more time to show an example.
Unfortunately, the tables files are facultative, so Cook do not create them anymore. So you cannot fork it.

Although I found this tool some time ago I just started learning experimenting and building this first component on Monday and now on Thursday afternoon it's already online. Although I already had a working version done with another tool this is much easier to build and at the end you have the freedom to own your own component. Once you know how to use Cook you will boost your productivity as the learning curve is really moderate compared to many other tools.
