Joomla User field does not display as select box 27 Aug 2012 05:15 #3305

Hi

I'm using a Joomla User field in my component to display a users select box, but it is displayed as input text field in both the frontend and backend!

Any help?

When you instance it in the form, open the node (in the fields tree), and choose a sub-level field (ex: username, name, etc...) It will determine which field data to show in the select.

If you don't, Cook cannot know wich data you want to show.

Thanks a lot

I did it like you say, but it was not work.

I have deleted the field and added it again and it works now.

Although I found this tool some time ago I just started learning experimenting and building this first component on Monday and now on Thursday afternoon it's already online. Although I already had a working version done with another tool this is much easier to build and at the end you have the freedom to own your own component. Once you know how to use Cook you will boost your productivity as the learning curve is really moderate compared to many other tools.
