J 1.0.13 - Where does Joomla actually save content? Topic is solved

[AndyJC]

I wrote a component to create content items from uploaded images. The introtext is a thumbnail image of the picture. The fulltext is the full picture. That part works well and it automatically creates the content

I'm trying to modify the introtext so that the thumbnail is a link to the content item itself. I don't see where it actually gets the row->id in the savecontent function in content.php. I tried where it modifies the text to change the code, but row->id is still 0 for new items. At the end of the function it returns a message with the new content item id number. Where did it actually save the content and generate the row->id.

Does that make any sense? Can anyone help me out?

Thanks,
Andy
