I have been creating my basic framework for my first application in j-cook, and now I have to do some of finetuning of the coding. I have been looking through the forum but I could not find an answer to the following questions:

1.I would like to fill in some fields in a form on the front end, when they create a new record. I thought I could fool the system by inserting the value into the $data part of the models\xxxx.php loadFormData() ( // Prime some default values), but that does not seem to work, I have been trying to figure it out all afternoon, but no luck. and I guess I have to be in this file because on the return I can set the value as I wish in the function prepareTable. But I would rally like to have the value displayed on the NEW form for the enduser, can anybody give me a hint on where I have to work on this.

2. This one is more a question to put me on the right track, I have 2 foreign keys in a table, I would like to change the values of the drop down menus on the input from another field: example: I have choose the country code in a dropdown list and than II would like the second drop down list to have only the names of the states of the country chosen in the first dropdown.

Hi Koen,

1) Can't you just set the default value in the table definition and then check "Prefills form"?
2) On your combo, check Ajax loading. (I actually never used this so I do not know if it works like I expect)
-> check this: www.j-cook.pro/index.php/forum/coding-in...down-with-cook#12540
