Data Type: 'Joomla user' not expanding in Layout 19 Nov 2013 01:38 #11673

Hi All,

have visited and revisited this to make certain I am not going quietly insane. A Table 'companies' contains a Field Type 'Joomla user' and this Field is included in my List and Form fly layouts, however when Selecting (or trying to select) say Username from the Joomla user field (using the + symbol) No fields are expanded and I cannot select.

P: SimpleCRM, T: Companies, Layouts, Collection Company and Companies.

Is it just me?

Thank you!

Edward.

Is it an old field ?
Because since Cook 2.0, the JUser field is considerated as a regular FK. (before, it was a special field type)

So you may have a legacy JUser field instancied when yuo reopen old projects. It should work the same, using automatic default field names.
Try to recreate it in the builder with the same name.

If you delete/create with the same name, the dataset will restore intact.

EDIT : I putted in FAQ, not because it has been asked oftenly, but because it is important question. Thanks for asking.
I guess you experience this problem. If not, can you open new topic so we can leave this answered question here.

Not old field, but now resolved itself upon browser cache clean and 30 minute rest :) It just came good.

Thanks.

Ok, cool.
Anyway, as I said it can happen for JUser fields created before Cook 2.0.

Awards for the best Joomla app. This product is gonna win an award for this amazing job. Cook Self Service is the the best application from all over the Joomla universe ! It brings Joomla to a professional level really advanced for developers. It is a real fun to develop with it. The ACL part and security checks implementation are just... so much hours saved. I can now concentrate myself more on the design part and the creative works. Thank you so much. Guys I offer you all my congratulation ! Keep up the works because Joomla is needing it to increase the quality of extensions availables on the JED. I also learned a lot because I can see how to code at the proper place and I found all my answers reading the forum.
