Less is More

Since Joomla! 2.5 is not supported anymore, we recommend all users to migrate your old websites if you still use a unsupported version of Joomla!

Cook Self Service is following the evolution of Joomla! and proposing you more and more features for LESS code in you creations.
Implementing the B/C layer was heavy, redondant and not able to implement all the recent features of your favorite CMS.

The version 3 will be released step by steps in successive sub-versions along the complete cleaning.

Achieved Versions steps

3.0.0
  • Removed legacy/ (whole folder)
  • Removed helpers/mvc.php
  • Removed DS constants.
  • Removed qn() function
3.0.1
  • HTML Templates skeleton 100% rewritten.
  • Page title and browser title rewritten.
  • Removed JVersion calls
3.1
  • ORM System
  • Foreign Lists much simplified with the 'Model' field type

V3.x - Roadmap features

  • Relations are using a 'Relation' field type
  • New ajax layer, remplacing JDom ajax.
  • Ajax fields defined only in XML. (Much improved, all brand new)
  • Filters. XML declarations are in separated dedicated file. (Accept Ajax)
  • Simplified populateState()
  • Form fieldsets rendering improved, using layouts
  • More simple component loader for third parts, sliced projects, modules...
  • Using media folder for assets (js/css/images)
  • cid[] replacement by 'id' in url and objects

I jumped and started to work on a demo component... but 2 days later this demo component became the real component. I just showed today the end result to my customer and he turned to me and said... "this is more than I expected"... All of this is because Cook did cut about 70% of my work and provided me more ways to improve the usability of the component. The end result was 17 tables all related between than to generate a full dashboard for the travel agents. Thanks for Cook developers for such great tool. This component would not be possible to be done at short time with all the features in it
