Forum OpenACS Q&A: basic acs design model

Posted by Ben Koot on
Hi folks,

When trying to make sense of OpenACS it would be very helpfull to end
users to have a graphical display of the system, so understand which
modules are interconnected. For example if I try to delete a group I
find it almost impossible to understand why I keep getting error
messages. I understand it has something to do with date in one of the
tables. but without knowing the dependancies I have a hell of job to
clear everything.

In general I think this would benefit all the folks that are trying
to start working with acs.  I also discovered a number of sub-
modules modules used in the e-commerce system that possibly could be
usefull outside the e-commerce environment ( like the mailinglist
tool). Right know it is realy complicated to figure out which modules
will operate indepently, and which ones require the full technical
implementaion of oracle and e-commerce.  I look forward to your
reply.
cheers
Ben Koot
