Good evening to all,
watched a youtube video about Processwire a few days back from Bernhard Baumrock and thought I deep dive into this CMS/CMF and try to realize a new project with it. My project basically deals with the subscription to some events (10-20). Basic idea is that potential guests get an E-Mail with the Url and a random unique personalized GUID (40 chars) used to assign to free slots via a public Form without having access to the backend at all.
Started with the Intermediate PW install and managed to setup an overview page showing a table with events pulled from it‘s child pages, a detailed page showing all infos for the actual event. Also managed to setup a custom form with three actions (subscribe, unsubscribe and check status of booking).
For data storing I would like to create a settings page with text fields for the unique bookingID, a text field for linking a eventID to the bookingID and a datetime field to store the date of the submission. The bookingIDs will be available from start, where eventID and datetime are NULL first and get’s updated depending on the form action taken. I will have to store a table with about 100 entries (Sql rows) and 3 fields (Sql columns). Can this be realized with a repeater and the three custom fields? Should this page be a admin page, or a hidden frontend page? Are there any other options to store this values and access it via the PW API?
Any hints would be highly appreciated.
