Hi, just wanted to check in on this issue. Categories seems to be working, although it doesn't feel integrated in the component when used. Are custom fields supposed to be working now? If so, where can I find it?

Thanks for all your hard work on JCB!!!

I have not gotten around to the Joomla Custom Fields integration yet, it might work, but the menu item is not build, which means adding a preset xml manually to your component with those links could work. But I have not had time to check it out just yet.

As for the categories, it should work as expected :)

Categories work on a technical level. A link is added on the Cpanel for the admin view that uses categories. The user experience leaves a bit to be desired as it feels a bit disconnected to the component. And once a category is created, you have to navigate back to the component again. I'm not sure if this is just the terms we have to accept, when dealing with what is fundamentally Joomla categories in the context of a custom component.

As for fields. If I manually go to: administrator/index.php?option=com_fields&view=fields&context=com_component_name.context then I can create fields and com_fields&view=groups works in the same way, I can create fields groups. The fields then show op on the admin view where I've selected to use fields. So it pretty much seems to be working, just missing the links.

We are working on the option to add the links back... but yet it should work otherwise.

A work around for now would be to add a custom_admin_menu:
