Hi

I'm building a component, that in simple terms as an example has 2 tables: "users" and "users items". "users items" are connected to "users" through a FK.

On my user item page, I have created a new tabbed brick, where I would like to display "users items".

What would be the best way to achieve this?
Thanks :-)

- put the item form in as a brick, and in the options set "tab it"
- put the item fly in as a brick, and in the options set "tab it"
- fork the views/users/tmpl/item.fly.php
- in there, load the items as a grid

Something like that

Hi Romkabouter

I've already created my tabbed view (form and fly pages). I've dragged my pivot table to the fly page, and expanded the relation in my model ormLayout... So I see the relevant data in my object on the fly page now.
But is this the way to do it - the best way?

I think the best way is when you keep the forking to a minimum, so probably yes :)

Really great Joomla tool Cook is a great piece of kit for creating Joomla components. It uses a drag-n-drop interface to build tables and fully featured pages. You can test your component in a sandbox before downloading it packaged up ready to install. The developer is responsive on the support forum.
