hi,
i will be building a web app for a company. the app is for internal consumption and part of it is published to the internet. they have wide range of products. so most of the product groups' attributes are different. for example, if product X has name, capacity, price, speed and description fields. product Y has name, size, weight and description. if a new product comes out again there should be new structure for the new product group. i mean product manager adds fields if necessary and end users populate those with data. in short every product may have different structure than the other and this should be as simple as adding data to existing row.
is this possible in codecharge?
my another question is about if notifications are possible? i mean trackers. if an event changes notify the registered (people who registered/tracked that event) users.
thanks in advance

It looks as if you will have to define a group of common characteristics for each item (product code, price etc) and link that file via the product id to an additional file with fields identified by the product id and an autoincrementing field for the subsidiary information records. You would need a descriptor field and data field for the supplementary information. To bring a complete record to the screen would need some handcoding, possibly concantating the information in the subsidiary records and displaying it in a label field. I was able to do a similar thing in codecharge but have yet to master CCS. OOP is not yet second nature!
I am sure someone should be able to advise whether the db structure I am suggesting is sensible and hopefully point you in the right direction for hand coding.
What language are you using? PHP? ASP?
