Welcome to our community Adre ,
Please be more specific on what exactly you are thinking about.

I see the words like : input , autonomous page , database unrelated each of them.

For a website i need an information.
So i had an input on the content autonomous.
I want to insert the value of the input in the database.

So define to us the information that you would like to import.
Maybe there is a possibility to do that without touching the Database.

So i had an input on the content autonomous.

There is Content items and Autonomous pages on Elxis CMS.  ;)

The best way to add extra information on a page is via the XML parameters. That way you don't have to edit the component or the database. So, delete the database column you created.

To add a parameter in an autonomous page open this file:
administrator/components/com_typedcontent/typedcontent.xml
and add your parameter in the XML parameters list.

To get the value of the parameter in front-end use this:
$params->get('parameter_name', 'default_value');

Hello all,

I know this is a relatively old post, however, it appears that one of the questions of the OP was not answered. What does check-in, check-out (e.g. "check-in my items" in user menu) used for?

Regards,

S

Check outs unlocks the items you have opened for editing but you never ended editing them (you didn't clicked save, apply or cancel buttons). These items remain locked for other authors. By clicking checkout you release that lock.
