PaC DB - Project and Client Database

[Matt]

Hi everyone, this is my first post on this forum but I have been following everything here for a while. I want to extend my thanks to Jack and also to everyone who helps out on this forum as it has helped me tremendously.

I have been programming for quite a while however, I have just recently gotten into Ajax. I have a large list of clients and projects going on at any given time and I thought it would be nice to create an online database to manage all of my clients and projects so that I may stay organized. This has led me to write a program I call PaC DB (Project and Client Database). I wrote this program in just a couple hours so the code is not extremely optimized and there is not many features. (Not yet at least).

The program does use the dialogs, JSON for retreiving and sorting data, inline editing (external module), and a few other Ajax toys, but I know it could be improved.

You can check it out at: http://www.mattstamant.com/pm
Feel free to test it out (add,delete,edit etc...)

It uses backend PHP/Smarty templates while using YUI-EXT to generate the interface. Take a look at it and let me know what you think, keep in mind, I used this project to start learning how to use YUI-EXT.

If anyone is interested in the code, let me know, I have no problems releasing it....

Have a good one!

Looks very nice. What's up with your stereo store home page? :)

[Matt]

Thanks bmoeskau! The site is just a development domain I use. The stereo site was just one of my clients a while back...

I tried the page but get: Website is not reachable.
Is this demo still up?

Hi Wolfgang, sorry about that, I guess the server was under some maintenance last night. Nevertheless, it's all back up and running now if you want to take a look.

A couple of items I noticed.

1) The delete confirm dialog would be better as a yui-ext message box.

I see there are additional refinements in 1.0 alpha, but they currently throw errors.

2) The add client/project/etc. dialog needs to have the form cleared out so that subsequent adds don't contain previously entered info. To reproduce, go to a client and add two projects, one after the other.

Jeff, I'll take those two items into consideration. Thanks for your input...
