Restricting Front End Viewing of Records 22 Nov 2016 19:08 #14720

Assuming I want to have users login and see a list of items in their collection. Is there a way to build a front-end page that only lists the records/items assigned to a that specific user?

In a nutshell yes:
Create a field on the table such as created_by and use the author wizard to automate the process.

On the list page, use a filter to pull only the records created by the logged in user.

Although filters are handy to search through data, using them for default views can be troublesome (I found). Depending on how the user is navigating, the filters are sometimes ignored (or forgotten).

If you want more control over the data displayed, fork the model function populateState() with this line...
if (!$acl->get('core.admin')) $this->setState('query.where', array("a.created_by = $userId"));  // Just show own records - unless you are the  admin

Real time saver and great Component Builder tool ! I have been developing with J-Cook Pro Component Builder for several months now and can say with all honesty that this product/service is second to none. The product is feature rich and is being improved and added to all the time. Do yourself a favor if you need to build a Joomla! Component then you can do no wrong in trying the product. You will save on time and effort while being able to deliver your project on time. J-Cook pro does the hard work for you you then have the freedom to fully customise the end result for your own needs. 

One word: Awesome.
