I've got a different (but related) problem.. With Order/Invoice
entries, I need something that looks like the Split Ledger but is
different..
So, I was wondering if there were some way to refactor the SplitLedger
into something more abstract? In doing this I'll probably wind up
re-inventing the register core, but what I was thinking was that we
could have a way to register cell-types with the split ledger, or
rather, register the functions used to create/modify "Splits":
gpointer (*newSplit) (GNCBook *, ...);
void (*setFCN) (gpointer entry, gpointer new_data);
gpointer (*getFCN) (gpointer entry);
void setCell (Cell, char * title, getFCN, setFCN);
Then instead of requiring Splits, the SplitLedger could be used to
store, say, a bunch of GncEntry objects for an Order and Invoice.
It would also allow other registers to have the same look-and-feel
as the current SplitLedger.
I need to flush out these ideas a bit more, but I'm trying to prevent
the case where I have to re-implement the SplitLedger because the
Business objects don't use Splits and Transactions, even though they
"look" almost exactly the same.
