[SOLVED] Grid link to go to Collection of a different table 30 Nov 2012 12:47 #5693

I *think* this has been discussed elsewhere, but not sure of the version and sort of got lost in the discussions.

Using Joomla Categories and Articles as my example. On the Frontend, I'd like to make each Category in my grid be a link which goes to collection of my Articles with that Category assigned . That grid, then, would have links to view the article.

It seems simple enough, but I have to admit, I can't figure it out. There's a "Reuse" attribute in the toolbar that seems to fit into my thinking, but I just can't put it together in my head or my project.

Condiderating Articles and Categories have been generated with Cook (not the Joomla native, not handled yet) :

1. Articles tables must contain a 'Category' filter.
2. Call your page with
index.php...&filter_category=###

### is the id of your category
That's it.
Coding is now a piece of cake

And for Joomla native
index.php?option=com_content&filter_category_id=###

For some reason this approach is not working in joomla 3.0.

  I found "cook" two days ago. Played around with it for a day and then within a day got rid of two legacy applications in IBM Lotus Domino Notes and replaced them with "cook". It was really easy. A piece of cake. Actually it was even easier than cooking. Cooking involves more work than developing with "cook". What can I say about "cook"? Great application great price for what it delivers great forum with a lot of information and fast responses active and friendly community fast forward moving development cycle So what should I say "Monsieur Le Cook"? Keep the good work going it will lead to success. Having become a paying member in the words of Edith Piaf may I say ..... non rien de rien ... je ne regrette rien. Vive La France.
