Note: A bit of an explanation (request for feedback) then the question a bit lower down.
So I finally got tired of beating myself up for some ten year old code that I wrote, and I'm planning a new version of my cms in fusebox, but this time I'm not going to get caught with my pants down, I'm planning it properly. I'm learning how to do it the FLIP way. First thing, I make a list of the app's mission, the clients it'll serve, and the features (what it will do) Then I went and got myself some flip chart paper (no pun intended) and started drawing what the front end will look like based on the loose ideas that I've had. This is what the user will see and use. Now I'm working on the admin side. As I switch between the two, I delve down, for example, if on the admin side I have an "edit article" view, then it also implies an image upload function! Whoops forgot to add that. Write it down and draw it on the flip chart paper. When I've got all of this down, then it boils down to fields, ins and outs, then the database. I hope I've got this right so far. Does this sound right to you? I'm trying to use the Wireframe editor/view (5 beta) and the first thing that jumped out at me is the Home page. It fundamentally includes a number of circuits and fuses (displaying banners, navigation, promotions, bread crumbs, etc). The admin side editing functions also include a number of circuits and fuses. I can write the responsibilities as "I'm the first page the user sees. I display the navigation of the site, the introductory content and all associated fuse outputs", but when it comes to all the inputs and outputs, the variations are unlimited as new fuses can be included or not. How would I describe this? How would you approach this? Thanks for your opinions. Frank Marion [EMAIL PROTECTED] Keep the signal high. -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG.
