Hi,
I just noticed the form field types for access level,created_by and modified_by is generated as cktext instead of the correct values of accesslevel and user.

Here is the incorrect code generated by cook.

<field name="access"
label="XXXXX_FIELD_ACCESS"
alias="access"
filter="INT"
access="core.edit"
type="cktext"/>

<field name="created_by"
label="XXXXX_FIELD_CREATED_BY"
alias="created_by"
filter="INT"
access="core.edit"
type="cktext"/>


Here is the correct code in joomla.

<field name="access"
label="XXXXX_FIELD_ACCESS"
alias="access"
filter="INT"
access="core.edit"
type="accesslevel"/>

<field name="created_by"
label="XXXXX_FIELD_CREATED_BY"
alias="created_by"
filter="INT"
access="core.edit"
type="user"/>

Cook is not using joomla native fields.

You can use them if you want, but I made the choice to use JDom.
Because in the way Cook is doing, the datas are separated from the control. Very important to my point of view.

So your user field most be a combo or what you want. The list of users is filled from YOUR component. So you can filter the list or do what you want.
Cook is keeping JDom for long.

Have a look how Joomla standard is creating filters, it is a mess.
Cook uses XML + JDom.

Hi,
I don't have any problems with using the jcook fields if it is working properly.

I just tested the access level field, it is showing a dropdown now but with empty values.Can you please check that.

Thanks Admin..It works fine now after I flushed the dataset.

Latest download of the component still shows empty values in the access level list.
