Forum OpenACS Development: Re: OpenACS Attribute Management - Requirements/Requests

A quick snippet of IRC that clarifies the confusion:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.......some discussion about the object model.......

rickyh    I think I now understand where we are at crossed purposes.....
rickyh    Matthew and I were thinking primarily in terms of building something that allows us to store arbitrary data for existing cr_objects. I think that you have been driving towards an even more fundamental development which would allow for manipulation of the oacs object model. Am I correct?

daveb    right.
daveb    and what we thought we were disucssion was how to use the AMS ui to do that.
daveb    :)
daveb    maybe these things don't go together.
daveb    you are almost defining the attributes on a per object basis.

rickyh    Exactly! These last few lines need posting in the forum - I will do that. I have to disappear for 10 mins, is it ok with you if we continue after that for a few minutes. It is just that we should consider whether we should or should not do this all in AMS.

daveb    right
