How to parse a field for/before input on jForm? 22 Dec 2012 00:06 #6218

I have a column that will be storing parameter/attribute-like data. Columns for each is out of the question because the pairs vary depending on the component installation parameters.

An earlier answer suggested to use $jinput->get with postSaveHook to capture the input and format and save it appropriately, but where would the appropriate place be to parse the data from the database for presentation on the form for edting? I'm assuming that $jinput->set would be the approach, but I'm not clear where the "right" place would be.

Thanks in advance! :)

  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.
