Does anyone reply to the questions in the "support" forum? I see A LOT of Goose eggs...Big'ol Zeros in the "Replies" column...Hmm.

I am here.
I am not answering because I am working on solutions.

LOL, I was just checking. I don't know what solutions are (unless you actually mean an answer to a problem) but good to hear.

I guess I'm just anxious because I'm excited to find this since and know ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about coding Joomla or a component. I know a bit about DBs but that's really it.

Thanks for building this. Just wish it was a little more affordable from America. Damn exchange rate. LOL. Although, THANK YOU for allowing me to get everything working before I have to pay for anything. That is a huge bonus and the reason I continue to use your application and why, when I get everything working, I will be buying from you.

Sandbox is AWESOME for building and verifying my build.

Thanks again. Keep up the good work.

Well, if you do not know nothing about coding in Joomla, you will need to learn because Cook is mainly for devs.

This is THE big advantage of Cook is that you can enjoy coding inside with no exotic framework in the middle. (Joomla standard)
If you are experienced in coding (but not in Joomla) then it is a cool tool to learn. If you are curious and want to learn programmation, too.
But if you do not plan to read the source, I can recommand you to use a CCKs (Content Constructor Kit) like Seblod for instance.

Cook has been created to answer the needs of developpers who are limited with CCK.
Enjoy it.

Some of us try to answer when we can, but we are also busy sometimes.
If you look at profiles like audibleid, BTB300, Tomaselli and many more, you will see how many thank you's and karma we all have : we're there to help, but we're not a professional support team doing this all day long.

YEs, this forum is active.
The support is free. So you cannot never be sure to have a fast answer. I make no difference between paid member and simple guest.
It is free for everybody and we can also discuss about Joomla dev in general, not only Cook.

We can also talk about beers

Hi dniezby and welcome to Cook Self Service
Haven't had a lot of time to be on the forum / coding recently as it seems my day job gets in the way at this time of year

But here is just a quick suggestion
- There is a tutorial to help get you started and Many of the posts have been marked [How To] .... these may help when your in the starting blocks

and yes while Admin our MasterChef is Cooking up a solution you will find many of us have taken on the role of assisting where possible. Shout out if you need a hand there is a lot of people here that can and will help

Thanks for this information. I'm kind of in between with what I know. I used to be pretty good with PHP and HTML4 even flash. Though I really HATE flash. I've used Joomla for years but have never seemed to really pick it up well. I can make edits but for the most part, I have knowledge of it in chucks.

I will take a look at Seblod thanks for that input.
I basically need to create just one Component and be done with it. However, I can see how it could be useful to keep creating other applications.
