Hi,
Im struggling to get my head around MVC.

I need to track the current user id that created an item and then save it to my db.

I managed it in v1.5 of jcook by editing the prepare table function, but im struggling to see where to go in v2.5.5

Is there a way of doing this easily via the builder?

if not, where do i go?
I've put the hidden field on my form (which is picking up the correct value), however this value not getting inserted into the DB.

ive tried to fork loadFormData but this doesn't seem to have helped.

Any help would be appreciated thanks

'published', 'checked_out', 'created_by', ... are unchangeable field names. Maybe your authoring field is still named 'author' Edit and save your field it will fix it, replacing by the correct name. Hope it helps. Coding is now a piece of cake

In my item form i have this: <input type="hidden" name="parent" id="parent" value="<?php echo (int)JFactory::getUser()->get('id'); ?>" /> Which sets the value correctly when the form loads, but this is not getting sent to the database table. My database column is called parent. The other fields on my form are saving correctly. thanks Pete

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.
