The aim is to map "your" fields to Joomla's standard content table, using an XML file. However some entries does not map DB fields. For instance:
Code:
<!-- following pars serve to put together the url to open the detail view
of the content item
e.g. option=com_content&task=view&id=<replaced with id>
Joomla 1.5 supports the view model, so it is avisable tu use 'href_view' instead of href_task
-
slug links generates links as id:title-alias
-
if href_catid is set the url becomes
href_id:value of title_alias&href_catid:value of cat_table_alias
e.g. id:title-alias&catid=category-alias
-->
<field name="href_option" type="text" required="1">com_content</field>
<field name="href_task" type="text" required="0"></field>
<field name="href_view" type="text" required="1">article</field>
<field name="href_id" type="text" required="1">id</field>
<field name="slug_links" type="text" required="0">1</field>
<field name="href_catid" type="text" required="0">catid</field>
As you can see, those href_* entries are used to build an url that in turn calls a component. Therefore, besided custom DB tables such in you case, it takes a components to handle them.
