linking tables and create forms for editing 30 Jan 2013 13:52 #6562

Hi,
I had a look at a lot of the tutorials, doc and topics in this forum,
but I am still confused.

What I want to do:
header table
detail table

when I see the header data in fly or form, I would see a list of all detail rows on the same page.
And, I would like to click on 'add a new detail row' or 'edit detail row'.

I got the foreign key in the detail table, so that the id of the header table is linked to the foreign key field in the detail table.
But how to create the frontend to easy add and edit details?

Is there a link to another topic which I did not found yet?
Or a step by step manual or example?

Cheers Roland

Hi Roland and welcome!

This is a really good place to start: www.j-cook.pro/docs/tutorials

This tutorial gives you step by step instructions on most of what you want to achieve and more, the final, working project + a zip package of each stage of the process...

Hope it helps!

Hi,
thx for the very very very fast answer ;-)

In these docs I saw, that I have to edit the code.
Is it only possible by downloading the project (which means to subscribe first)
or could it be done only in the j-cook environment and using the sandbox to check?

Cheers Roland

Yes, that functionality is not available directly in the cook builder so, yes, it would need to be done after download which requires a subscription.

However, you can download the tutorial package, see the basic component that was generated in Cook, then follow along with each change, comparing your changes with the incremented version packages. This will show you what can be achieved. They are really simple examples but demonstrate the principles of coding in your component afterwards.

I'm sure you'll think the subscription is worth it! ;)

I will wait for Joomla 3 support, because I only have that system running, before I do a subscription...
Like I read, it should be available the next days/weeks...

Thx for you help

I believe so, yes...

Components generated with cook will work on J3 but currently have some issues, apparently bootstrap related.

Anyway, best of luck,

  I found "cook" two days ago. Played around with it for a day and then within a day got rid of two legacy applications in IBM Lotus Domino Notes and replaced them with "cook". It was really easy. A piece of cake. Actually it was even easier than cooking. Cooking involves more work than developing with "cook". What can I say about "cook"? Great application great price for what it delivers great forum with a lot of information and fast responses active and friendly community fast forward moving development cycle So what should I say "Monsieur Le Cook"? Keep the good work going it will lead to success. Having become a paying member in the words of Edith Piaf may I say ..... non rien de rien ... je ne regrette rien. Vive La France.
