I've got 3 tables, each with a matching set of Collection/Item Layouts. From the Joomla Administrator, they appear in the order that I created them as tabs along the top of the component, as well as in the order that they appear in the Joomla Administrator Menu.

I've found where to set which is the default, but is it possible to specify in which order they appear?

e.g. In this order, I created Table3/Collection3/Item3, then Table1/Collection1/Item1, then Table2/Collection2/Item2

In the admin, they appear tabs in this order: | Table3 | Table1 | Table2 |
I'd like then to be in the logical order of | Table1 | Table2 | Table3 |

However, if that doesn't work for you, go into the main controller.php admin side, you'll find them there in addSubMenu() G Need help with your Cook/Joomla Project? .

JoomGuy Offline Moderator Joomla Enthusiast, Lover of Cooking Posts: 1115 Thank you received: 195	What version of COOK are you using - 1.5 or 2.0 beta? I can't honestly say I remember there not being a base controller in COOK 1.5 but it is the only thing that I can think would be different... **ADD I'm using v2.0 ******* Need help with your Cook/Joomla Project? .

JoomGuy Offline Moderator Joomla Enthusiast, Lover of Cooking Posts: 1115 Thank you received: 195	Ah, just checked in a dummy component that I reverted back to COOK 1.5 - it'll be in sips.php in your case: JSubMenuHelper::addEntry(...)

gdpodesta Topic Author Offline Senior Member Posts: 75 Thank you received: 8	Ah, just found it there with addentry(), not addsubmenu(). Have found where to change it...any idea on how to configure it in COOK? Interesting - changing the order of the code affects the order of the Tabs, but not the Admin Component submenu items for the components

JoomGuy Offline Moderator Joomla Enthusiast, Lover of Cooking Posts: 1115 Thank you received: 195	Ah, to change that, you need sips.xml... Check in side the <administration> tag and you'll see your menu image tags and submenus too. Gez Need help with your Cook/Joomla Project? . PM me to find out what I can help with.

Menus are not handled yet.

Orders of tables are not respected. It is missing since the beginning.
For the moment, you deal manually with the menus because it is not a big deal, you can learn something easy, and it is like templating, it is in your own. A little bit of exercice ;-)

The menu creator is on the road map of course. But I do know when.

Sorry for inconvenience.

I am currently working hard on something nobody can see because it is internal of Cook Framework to improve it. This is called 2.0. Not finished yet (framework rewrite), but the source code for you is unchanged. You can use 2.0 beta. It works good and almost stable.
Next cool step to come soon : A much better management of filters.

Coding is now a piece of cake
