First of all, let me thank you for a great product, its helping me (a non coder) to create far beyond my expectation -- and ability ;)

I now have a new feature in mind and think I know how to do it but wonder if j-Cook can help me more, are there hidden features in Grid View?

Let me explain. I want to import data from a XML file into my component, but I want to select which records (not fields) within that file to record as records in my working MySQL tables. Therefore I am thinking that I should import the XML file into a temporary mySQL table and the select which items I want to move to my working tables.

I have found scripts to help me import from XML to the Temporary table (I think). But what I would like to do is view the temporary table in Grid View and be able to select items to transfer to live tables. In Grid View today I can select items to Delete, but I want to have another action, not delete but copy to another table.

Is this possible today in J-Cook or is this custom coding that I have to work out?

You help is appreciated

Import / Exports features are on the road map.
With custom coding you can do it.

The best is to reuse the model and change SQL loading to XML loading (create abstraction layer. My dream...)

Thank you for remembering this very important feature.
Coding is now a piece of cake

Freakin' Awesome!!! J-Cook is simply awesome - whether you're a highly experienced developer or complete novice whether you're building a small inventory component or a complete community solution! The beauty comes from a fast slick and reliable platform that readily provides developers with everything they'll need to build the backbone of a solid and secure component with wizards for authoring access publishing aliasing created/modified by dates... you name it COOK provides it! J-Cook really surpasses all of the 'competition' as far as MVC tools are concerned! Try love it and get cooking!
