someone on cf-talk said this would be a better place to go for an OO
type question. I'm new to CF and I want to learn how to do OO as I learn
CF so that I don't carry over my bad habits from my ASP days. (I gave it
up. I swear!)
I'm not sure how to handle a situation. Does it go in the model? Does it
go in a custom tag?
I'm gearing up with a simple time tracking application for developers
working on different projects.
Managers own Projects (many to many)
Workers are assigned to Projects (many to many via Assignments)
Assignments (Worker, Project, StartDate, Percent Effort) are completed
by Effort (Assignment, WorkDate, regEffort, otEffort)
I've got all of the data entry done. Now I'm working on the report.
I figure most of the time, people are just interested in the summary.
"How is this worker doing on Working the appropriate PercentEffort for
this Project?"
So it would be something like this:
Worker
Project
Assignment (start date, percent effort)
totalRegEffort totalOTEffort %Effort HoursOver/Short
There are also times I want to display all of the information
Worker
Project
Assignment (start date, percent effort)
regEffort otEffort %Effort
.. .. ..
.. .. ..
.. .. ..
totalRegEffort totalOTEffort %Effort HoursOver/Short
I'm thinking totalRegEffort, totalOTEffort, etc are more efficiently
retrieved from the database, right?
So does Assignment.cfm have getTotalRegEffort, getTotalOTEffort, etc? do
I do this in a custom tag by looping the effort?
Sorry if this is really basic, I'm still trying to wrap my head around this.
Thanks
Joelle
