Hi,
I am creating a component, everything's great. but I need "New Record" form to be filled with "Last Record's Data"
I could have done this the Hard way, but I want to play by joomla rules.
Any Ideas?

there is two ways of creating a "new record".

Create a dummy object with all the defaults and an id of 0 (which is what I useally do)
Actually create a row in the table and return that id (which is what I think you are doing)

the reason I go with the first is that if you cancel you then have to delete the row.

When you add this item to the db (before or after the user edits it) then you need to get the row id (which is what your asking, so you can just select that one)

On my save I do:
Code:
        if ($category['id'] == 0)
        {
            $category['id'] = $db->insertid();
        }


the insertid will give you the id of that row.

***** assumption ****
the table has an id row that is auto incrementing

I think its not what I meant to do,
I want "New Record Form" inputs have some default values.
which will be values from latest record in database table.

The forms are useally a jform loaded from xml.

You have to bind data to this form, this useally comes from a record you have loaded.

Another way is to create an object with all the variable set with the defaults you want and bind this data with the form.

Is this more what your looking for ?
