[HELP HOWTO] form for a specific record in V2 (1:1) 16 Nov 2012 20:07 #5432

I've been trying to understand this at this post: www.j-cook.pro/forum/9-coding-inside-you...or-a-specific-record

It refers to how easy it is in V2, but doesn't explain how to do it in V2. As this example talks about, I want to display an edit form for the user where it's primary key is equal to $user->id instead of the value specified in the menu item for the component.

How can this be done in V2?

Found the answer for my implementation:

In protected function displayLicenseemaintenance (where I'm loading the form), I did this. In my component, the table "license" will always have an id equal to the current user_id, so I adjusted the state as follows:
protected function displayLicenseemaintenance
...
$this->model	= $model	= $this->getModel();
$this->state	= $state	= $this->get('State');
$this->state->{'licensee.id'} = $user->id;
It doesn't strike me as the "right" way of doing it, but it works :unsure:

Really great Joomla tool Cook is a great piece of kit for creating Joomla components. It uses a drag-n-drop interface to build tables and fully featured pages. You can test your component in a sandbox before downloading it packaged up ready to install. The developer is responsive on the support forum.
