I still think the best plan is to simplify the widgets like so:
Widgets
id
name
widget_type
Widget_type
id
name
db_table (like Widget_HTML)
Widget_HTML
id
widget_id
widget_type
custom_fields for this type of widget
...
Widget_CSS
id
widget_id
widget_type
custom_fields for this type of widget
...
Widget_Permissions
id
widget_id
widget_type
custom_fields for this type of widget
...
And so on...the concept of widgets should be made very generic and
simple so that they are more of buiding blocks rather than
overdetailed turd balls, like at present.
Css should just be a type of widget, just like HTML or Markdown, or
even SQL, should be a type of widget.
I have a proposal for this, but this all just waits upon me to write
up and then someone to code it ;)
The best ideas are simple. Aiki widgets, the concept is simple, the
implementation is hacked together functionality.
Roger, one thing that would help is that if we make some of these big
changes, that you can help to make sure that the updater will keep
sites from the past upgraded to the future. So far your upgrader seems
to help this very much. Do you have any thoughts on that or can you
let us know if there is a best way to make sure we maintain
compatibilty when making big changes to aiki design or db structure?
Cheers
Jon
