I have a table called JOBS, and a XRef table called xExpertstoJobs, this XRef has two Joomla User type fields

On a JOBS collection view, I want to pull in the names from BOTH of these fields, however they are not rendering with the correct name and I can only pull in one

In the table view the fields are called expert_id and referrer_id

In the FIELD view at the side to drag them in they are called

Hi Jamaza,

I am not sur your Table design is correct in order to use Xref but if i anderstand what you want to do, you should have 3 Tables involved.
- JOBS: (id, title, ...)
- EXPERTS: (id, title, FK [ JUser, ... ]
- xExpertstoJobs (job_id, expert_id, ...)

So with this N:m Pivot Table :
- A Job can needs One or Many Experts Features,
- An Expert can cover One or Many Jobs.

Then, in the Jobs View Layout, you could drag :
- job_title
- - Xref [ExpertstoJobs (on Job)]
- - - Expert_title
- - - FK [Juser]
- - - - Name
- - - - UserName
- - - - etc, etc,

And, in the Experts View Layout, you could drag :
- expert_title,
- FK [Juser]
- - Name
- - UserName
- Xref [ExpertstoJobs (on expert)]
- - FK [job]
- - - job_title

Hoping that can help you ...

I had a look on your database design

Context I understood :
The 2 FK references to users are located in the EXPERTSTOJOBS table. N:1 relation
You want to list the users from the Jobs table.

Since ORM, this is incredibely simple to achieve.
This should work to grab the datas.

$this->orm(array(
	'relation' => array(

		'xexpertstojobs' => array(
			'select' => array(

				'expert_id.username',
				'expert_id.name',
				
				'referrer_id.username',
				'referrer_id.name',
			)
		)
	)
));

Then dump the loaded datas, and you will see the list of users behind the N:1 relation.

Need more explanation ?

EDIT : You need to download again because I fixed something on the ORM engine that was required for this operation.

Coding is now a piece of cake

The j-cook project is indeed one of the best tools I've run across for building Joomla components and the beta version should make things even better!.
