sharedlists

Foodsoft Developement

Hi!

I’m looking at the external database feature - great idea, and very nice that it’s present in foodsoft. Some questions come to mind regarding this:

  • is it an idea to move it to the foodcoops organisation?

  • is this equal to foodsoft’s supplier+article database? plus

  • the option to restrict access to certain suppliers

  • an automatic update option (seeing ftp support)

  • ability to upload multiple file formats (something I started on in foodsoft itself)- could I use foodsoft itself to manage shared lists?

  • would bring in features like e.g. ajax popup edit dialog

  • would miss some features

  • would it make sense to add those to foodsoft in a clean way so that we have one app?

  • is the reason for the “new article” dialog at article import in foodsoft there primarily because a category needs to be set?

  • we’re thinking of adding standardised categories to sharedlists, and have some sort of category mapping function at product import- the external database synchronise function currently has broken i18n - which I’ve fixed in the i18n branch (this currently affects demo.foodcoops.net)

These were my thoughts. If you’re knowledgeable or interested in this please share your thoughts.

Cheers,

  • Willem
