Hi

I've been away from component development for a long time. I have a few questions, as I'm trying to get my head around it.
I've created a Fly on an item view, where I have data from related tables. I have also added a custom button on the item view.

When clicking the button, I'm trying to access this related data, but not sure how.

$model = $this->getModel();
$item = $model->getItem();

Doesn't contain any of those related data.

Any help is greatly appreciated :-)

did you write your custom code (custom task & redirection) in the right controller file ?
	/**
	* Method to custom an element.
	*
	* @access	public
	*
	* @return	void
	*/
	public function custom()
	{
		// TODO : Write your custom code here

		$model = $this->getModel();

		//Define the redirections
		switch($this->getLayout() .'.'. $this->getTask())
		{
		case 'extension.custom':
                // here you have to write the redirection (wich view?) in order to load the datas and display the layout ...
				$this->applyRedirection($result, array(
					'stay',
					'com_mycomponent.myview.default'
				), array(
					'cid[]' => null
				));
				break;

			default:
				$this->applyRedirection($result, array(
					'stay',
					'stay'
				));
				break;
		}
	}

For starters it's just so easy to design an app in a way that I'm used to i.e. database first then views followed by customization. The fork system is pure brilliance from a developer standpoint as I can override things and still add and update my projects with minimal effort! Truly amazing to be able to build components in Joomla using incremental refinement without having to do everything by hand. Thanks for the great tool! I am so much more productive now than ever and I can't imagine building components any other way!!!!
