Greg proposed the following answer: Hello and thanks for the compliment! :) As Jason said, you can use tags to glue things together. In fact you are totally free to use them any way you like. You can think as tags as little paper strips you stick on an object. Each tags has a "type" (free, up to you to decide) and "content" (also free). Three sample cases: - Consider a list of students; you want to track which ones did physically attend your class. You can create in a few minutes a "presence list" page where you can "tag" students with a "present this day" tag, containing the date. Then you can easily fetch the list of student which did attend, and even group them by date. All this without creating a database table. - Consider a VOD site where people can buy a video. When a user makes a purchase, you tag him with a tag of type "video purchase" containing the reference of the video. Then it's easy to present the user the list of his/her videos. - Consider you're debugging a site which is production ; you want your team to get the debug messages but not the casual users. Tag your "team" group with a "debug" tag which will trigger the debug report only when the tag is present. There is even a most powerful feature: link node. You create a "base node", which is a controller; for example a film review template fetching data from IMDB. Then you create "link nodes" based on this controller, and you give each of these link nodes a tag with the movie reference. You now have a lot of nodes each with a different movie, that you can sort as you want. Possibilities are quite infinite. Also note that although we provide free support here depending on our free time, we are also available for hire ;) greg -- You received this question notification because you are a member of PHPDevShell, which is an answer contact for PHPDevShell. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~phpdevshell Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~phpdevshell More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
