Could you tell me again how i can, i.e., have a combo box that displays name - surname instead of just name or surname ?
Thanks,
V.

Easy with JDom:
'dataKey' => '<%name%> - <%surname%>'
Coding is now a piece of cake

'labelKey' instead of 'dataKey' isn't it ?

Well in form, it works with labelKey and not dataKey for me, and it seems correct because the select box uses a database field name as datakey and i want to keep what i built in the builder, but the information displayed in the combo comes from the labelKey, if i'm correct.
Thanks,

Yes true for combos, but for simple fly, dataKey is used.
I know it is little bit wired. I should give a look there.

I find it logical : labelkey in combos because that's what user sees, dataKey in fly, because there's no label.

I have been using Cook for only a day now and it is the next best thing to Jagermeister. It is very easy to use and I see some of the greatest Joomla Components ever! coming from Cook users.
