For example if you have an Address table and a Cities table, add a Foreign Key data type to the Address table and drag and drop the Cities table onto it. On your page you can add the Foreign Key field and it will be displayed as a drop-down list of cities. Is this what you were looking for? The following user(s) said Thank You: admin, eyelezz

For starters it's just so easy to design an app in a way that I'm used to i.e. database first then views followed by customization. The fork system is pure brilliance from a developer standpoint as I can override things and still add and update my projects with minimal effort! Truly amazing to be able to build components in Joomla using incremental refinement without having to do everything by hand. Thanks for the great tool! I am so much more productive now than ever and I can't imagine building components any other way!!!!
