Newbie - combining results from two tables in view 09 Jul 2017 23:11 #15246

Okay, so I am probably being a bit stupid but I am trying to work out how to do the following with your system - need to know how to do this/that I can do this before forking out the cash!!!

I have a simple component with 2 tables - projects and images.

The images table has a collection of images which are linked again specific projects. An image will only ever be linked to one project.

I want to create a view for a project that includes all of the linked images

How can I do that?

You need to use the relations.

Open your "Project" layout (item or list)
Browse the fields tree and look at the last node of your fields, it should be a Cross-Reference (XREF) towards "Images". You get it ?
Open this XREF Node, and choose the value to show. Drag and drop into a list/fly, or form, and you are done.

You created a N:1 relation.
Simple as that. But I know the docs are still missing...
Coding is now a piece of cake

Thank you, that makes sense, but it isn't producing what I am looking for (although that is going to me!)
I have several images associated with a project, but it is not showing them.
How do I tell it to loop through all of the images?

Thanks

This is what you call a component builder. I was able to master using this in a very short time and the resulting component works like a charm. Not just a basic component builder but a fully working component builder with forms fields tables all ready to go. You can make the list and item views to display in the front and back end. Also there is a great forum just starting to evolve and I'm sure this will grow very rapidly when you all realise how good this tool is.
