User driven database website?
Posted: Fri Nov 26, 2010 8:37 pm
Lets say we wanted to have a book database.
the homepage would be blank but designated for authors. Users, after loging in, would be able to 'add an author'/ i.e. filling out preset fields then submiting.
when refreshed the author page will now list that author the user submited as a link.
The newly submitted link titled, for example, JK rowling, Can now be clicked by anyone which will take users to a blank page (other than header etc.) and anyone can post any book jk rowling wrote here. When refreshed, this BOOK page (inside the jk rowling author page) will now list any book any user submits. These books will turn in to links, listed [</li>] neatly on the page
with the end product being these book links to be able to be clicked on by any user and engage in discussions on a separate page about that book.
just an example but we need these core functions {user driven database}
anyone?
