Best practice for entity with hierarchy (like a catalogue)
Hi,
I would like to create a hierarchical catalogue of items. My first throught is to introduce a new entity and start from the ElggGroup code. The entity should have relationships, support hierarchical categories and have similar behaviour/features as Groups.
The result should be a catalogue of cars with drill-down from Brand (Volvo) > Sort (Stationwagon) > Type (V70) > Serie (from 2005-2008). And the members of the site are owners of the car.
I'm new to Elgg and would appreciate some feedback on the idea of a new entity derived from ElggGroup. Any thoughts an suggestions are welcome.
Thanks in advance.

You must log in to post replies.Bart, take a look at my Edifice plugin. With some minor modifications you can achieve the results you are describing.
Thanks for the recommendation. I will have a look.
I'd also look at the pages plugin that has a hierarchy structure.
(page -> subpage -> subpage etc.)
