Hello,

I just thought that it also would be nice to have another standard data type in the data types options. Similar as the Joomla User lookup, it would be nice to have a article lookup (ideally by category) to link to an article in the Joomla CMS.

For the moment I can code it myself, but it will be a useful feature in the future I think.

Kind regards,

Misha

But i ment : is it possible whitin cook, so cook generates the code, something like joomla user. Cook generates an id in the table and can create a dropdown in the views Is that possible with tables that are not in the project? Is that possible with joomla tables?

For starters it's just so easy to design an app in a way that I'm used to i.e. database first then views followed by customization. The fork system is pure brilliance from a developer standpoint as I can override things and still add and update my projects with minimal effort! Truly amazing to be able to build components in Joomla using incremental refinement without having to do everything by hand. Thanks for the great tool! I am so much more productive now than ever and I can't imagine building components any other way!!!!
