Hello Fellow J-Cook Users. I need to understand IF there is a difference between storing a date value in a Cook DATE Field Type or an Integer(10) field?

This is because I am coding / porting an existing PHP app to a Cook Component and will be using a great deal of the existing code (logic) in the new Component. Should I stick with the existing PHP code of using Integer(10) for dates and date calculations OR create them as Cook Date Field Types?

Thank you,

Ed.

Awards for the best Joomla app. This product is gonna win an award for this amazing job. Cook Self Service is the the best application from all over the Joomla universe ! It brings Joomla to a professional level really advanced for developers. It is a real fun to develop with it. The ACL part and security checks implementation are just... so much hours saved. I can now concentrate myself more on the design part and the creative works. Thank you so much. Guys I offer you all my congratulation ! Keep up the works because Joomla is needing it to increase the quality of extensions availables on the JED. I also learned a lot because I can see how to code at the proper place and I found all my answers reading the forum.
