how to access from other component to a cook comp. 11 Dec 2012 19:27 #6021

Can anybody point me in the good direction?

I'm trying to access to a table/model of my cook component from com_users, is it possible?

I search the web but with no luck
The reason why is because I need to when a user (joomla user) logs in tho the system go to a table compoment and read data...

com_users/controller/user.php
// Perform the log in.
		if (true === $app->login($credentials, $options)) {
			// Success
			$app->setUserState('users.login.form.data', array());
			$app->redirect(JRoute::_($app->getUserState('users.login.form.return'), false));
		} else {
			// Login failed !
			$data['remember'] = (int)$options['remember'];
			$app->setUserState('users.login.form.data', $data);
			$app->redirect(JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_users&view=login', false));
		}

in the coded above, when success check for som data in a table and then redirect to the cook component.

I think the redirect issue is covered , but how to get the data from a table component is my problem-.

thanks in advance

I would advise a login and/or profile plugin to hook into the login and other user events. Please see:

Hope it helps,

If you want to write outside of your component, in a Joolma native one... DO NOT HACK.

> Do a plugin.
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
