I have a question regarding customizing the code when an item is created. In short, where to put it?


com_thing
> admin
>> models
>>> foo.php
>>> fooitem.php

So I would assume that I put my custom code here when creating a NEW item, but where?

com_thing
> admin
>> fork
>>> models
>>> fooitem.php

Is this the right file? If so, under what function?

prepareQuery() ?
prepareTable() ?

I have been looking at each of them and testing, but I can't seem to get it right.

Yes, in the fork folder.
Just copy the function you want to change into the fork/models/the_name_of_the_file.php
depends on what you want to do.

So the "item" file? (The default j-cook uses when creating an item view.)

I can't seem to get my code to fire off when creating a new item. I have even tried just a simple "echo 'HIT';" when the code block is encountered.

I think I got it

Thanks.
