We have developed serveral hundred elements (before the dawn of snippets)
which we want our customers to be able to use in their own sites. The
seemingly obvious way to do this is to create a child style that is owned by
the user we want to support. This gives a form of inheritance that works
rather well....Don't like what a certain element does, simply create a
similarly named element in the child and viola you are done.
The problem is that when I create such a style, (with all the proper
ownerships, etc.) in mysql (as there is no way to do this in vanilla nadmin)
I cannot see the style when I am logged in as the customer.
Copying all the elements (which is what nadmin does now) is not an option
for several reasons:
- It creates thousands of elements in the DB for each itteration of customer
- It does not allow us to change a core element, and affect changes to all
the children
- It creates a maintenance nightmare on the side bar
Any ideas as to how to overcome this at the design level would be greatly
appreciated so that we don't have to go in and hack at what is otherwise a
wonderful system.
Regards
Rob
