Hi, I just downloaded a component I made and I´m wondering how I can create a filter on the menu link.

Details.
In Joomla->admin I go to menus and add a menu item of type MYCOMPONENT->MYITEMS.

What I want to be able to do is select 1 or many MYITEMS to be displayed accoring to a filter I set in the menu item.

Is this possible ?

Sample can be seen here teamgym2014.is/__sb/index.php/home/countries

Hi, I figured out I can do it by adding a filter. The filter then shows up while adding the menu item.

This is what you call a component builder. I was able to master using this in a very short time and the resulting component works like a charm. Not just a basic component builder but a fully working component builder with forms fields tables all ready to go. You can make the list and item views to display in the front and back end. Also there is a great forum just starting to evolve and I'm sure this will grow very rapidly when you all realise how good this tool is.
