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 :)

Hi All just wanted to add one more "thank you" voice to all those who discovered the value of this amazing application. The website I was working on went to production few days ago and I do not want to even try to imagine what would it take to build it without j-cook. So - endless thanks keep it running and evolving I believe it deserves to be the core tool for any joomla application! Thanks!
