HI !
We currently have an inventory system for our employees. It contains
laptops, phones, but also ergonomic chairs, fridges or software
licenses ... So very different stuff that admins can create/read/
update/delete.
After doing a version completely based on admin interface, I gave up
cause it didn't provide enough flexibility. So I rolled-up a complete
custom version, but there is far too much code to my taste ... it's a
pain to maintain.
Some of the problems I have been facing include :
- allowing the admins to add their own item types through an
interface, e.g. : laptop, TV, ... item types are hierarchical, e.g. TV
and Laptop are subclasses of ElectronicItem, which in turn is a
subclass of Item, ...
- polymorphism : when listing all the items, they should be aware
of what type they are, this in order to search/filter the list with
javascript and also generate urls to the item detailed view.
- updating some attributes through Ajax, e.g. laptops have
licenses. On a laptop detail page, I have a javascript "manager", to
associate/detach licenses to that laptop.
So I was wondering if anybody had a suggestion on what to use ! I
especially wonder if one of the django CMSes apps could help me,
because that does sound like functionalities a CMS could provide !
