First data model realised
The first data model is ready, and I’ve already put it into SQL scripts to generate the database. It’s not that complex as of yet, all I want to store at the first iteration is the published file.
I installed the DAO class generator from the Xoops modules site. It takes an existing database table, and writes a data access Xoops class that should provide the needed functionality to use the database table in your module. It’s rather old (2004), but it seems to do the job just fine. I couldn’t find posts on the forums with warnings about unsafe or dangerous code provided by the plugin. I’ll keep on the lookout for maybe another generator, but for the moment, this is the one I’ll be using.
I won’t take care of the presentation for these first internal releases. I just want the functionality to be there. Nobody will notice that the page is perfectly integrated in the theme when the functionality isn’t there. The theme and the templates will be started when after a few internal and closed beta releases.
As always, If you are interested in testing the 3Mension site once it starts the closed beta tests, please subscribe on the main 3mension page, which happens to be the only page at the moment.
