"Shopping Cart" Select Box
I've looked through the posts... but can't seem to find this:

Is there a way, once the database is searched... to allow users to check items, then when done searching... view a list or "shopping cart" of all items they have "tagged" or checked?

I am thinking of something like how the admin works for the checkboxes for deleting records... except these are pulled up later as in a final tally of user selected records.

I have found a few threads on this... but hopefully the "shopping cart" reference I made did not throw you off. I am only looking for a simple way to tag records as a way for the user to see the group later and do not need a price tally and other ideas that come to mind when one thinks of a "shopping cart". It is just that the records may not have some commonality to pull up together as one search, so this checkbox or radio button would set this flag in the users session.

I've done something like that exactly for a shopping cart. I just haven't had the chance to make it into a mod yet.

Great! Looking forward to it. In the meantime, perhaps someone could think of a good name for the "shopping cart" feature? Notebook, clipboard?

I started a site I have always wanted to do. I just secured the domain a few days ago... been working on the home page, graphics and got to get the underlying architecture built.
It will support union (i.e. SAG) and non-union actors/actresses. The database portion of it I want to try in DBMan.

http://www.media-listing.com

It is just the front page... but if you click on the "TALENT"
button, then CONTACTS you will see where it will reside.

The database will function like the one you see at:

Except of course I want to build a better interface to it... and make the screens more attractive. They call this a "shopping cart" but I think it sounds cheap or something when it deals with people... so I was trying to think of another concept or metaphor to label this.

I will automate the uploading of headshots... so the user can
post their own entry and I do not have to get involved unless
necessary. The mods that are available will come into play very ninely.

The rest of the site is going to be a "yellow pages" listing for different freelance creative types... most probably another application besides DBMan altogether.

But again, if anyone is feeling generous and takes time to look, I would appreciate any feedback on a name for this, other than "shopping cart". Thanks... and look forward to the mod, JPD.

I like actors. Smile

I also like the idea of calling it a "clipboard." Definitely better than "shopping cart" when you're talking about people.

It'll take me a little while to get this together. I'll let you know. Smile

I started it and got distracted. When I get time, I'll work on it.
