a little cleaning tip:

the following code is just an example.

JCOOK generated code:
	<?php if ($compat == '3.0'): ?>
	<div class="row-fluid">
		<div id="contents" class="span12">
			<div>

				<!-- BRICK : multilanguage -->
				<?php echo $this->loadTemplate('multilanguage'); ?>
			</div>
			<div>

				<!-- BRICK : options -->
				<?php echo $this->loadTemplate('options'); ?>
			</div>
			<div>

				<!-- BRICK : events -->
				<?php echo $this->loadTemplate('events'); ?>
			</div>
		</div>
	</div>
	<?php elseif ($compat == '1.6'): ?>
	<div>
		<div>

			<!-- BRICK : multilanguage -->
			<?php echo $this->loadTemplate('multilanguage'); ?>
		</div>
		<div>

			<!-- BRICK : options -->
			<?php echo $this->loadTemplate('options'); ?>
		</div>
		<div>

			<!-- BRICK : events -->
			<?php echo $this->loadTemplate('events'); ?>
		</div>
	</div>
	<?php endif; ?>


I would write it:
	<?php if ($compat == '3.0'): ?>
	<div class="row-fluid">
		<div id="contents" class="span12">		
	<?php elseif ($compat == '1.6'): ?>
	<div>
		<div>		
	<?php endif; ?>
			<div>

				<!-- BRICK : multilanguage -->
				<?php echo $this->loadTemplate('multilanguage'); ?>
			</div>
			<div>

				<!-- BRICK : options -->
				<?php echo $this->loadTemplate('options'); ?>
			</div>
			<div>

				<!-- BRICK : events -->
				<?php echo $this->loadTemplate('events'); ?>
			</div>
		</div>
	</div>

Yeah, thanks, I am gonna rewrite all this soon.
Making it easier.

I was trying to follow Joomla standards from all version crossed along the way, but at the end I think I am gonna suppress the left menu defnitivly, because it is a pain.

It has been introduced since J!3.0, but seems already past over (If I understood well, since 3.2)
Make it easier for all versions a plain page rendering the same in back and front.

Only the toolbar will be the particular case.
The menu should be abstracted (as Cook does), and displayable as wishes in a defined areas, even handle multiple menus, different renderings, etc...
Being automatic is super cool, but this should be handled by the component (not by default)
So, the component can generate automaticaly the same, but in a better way so it is not a pain for cross-versions components.

Then the filters part will be placed at the top with a nice automated rendering.
Coding is now a piece of cake

I jumped and started to work on a demo component... but 2 days later this demo component became the real component. I just showed today the end result to my customer and he turned to me and said... "this is more than I expected"... All of this is because Cook did cut about 70% of my work and provided me more ways to improve the usability of the component. The end result was 17 tables all related between than to generate a full dashboard for the travel agents. Thanks for Cook developers for such great tool. This component would not be possible to be done at short time with all the features in it
