Integrate Data Assist Forms In PowerCMS

Hi there,

I realize from reading other forums that you can have Data Assist create forms to insert product information into a database to create a product catalogue.

As well I know I would then have to do a query from Dreamweaver to display the product elements on a webpage.

However, is there anyway to integrate the DataAssist forms into Power CMS builder backend so the client has one area on the website to go to?

The client is not concerned about selling a product or I would move them up-to the Power Store.

I am curious as to how you would suggest I implement this for my client.

Conversely I would love (and pay) to have a Power CMS Builder that can handle a product catalog (as well as a blog)!

Thanks,
Martin

you would need to create the data assist pages manually. you could create them in the admin CMS directory.


the code to protect the admin cms page is:

[/php]<?php require_once( "../WA_Globals/WA_Globals.php" ); ?>
<?php require_once('../Connections/PowerCMSConnection.php'); ?>
<?php require_once( "../WA_SecurityAssist/Helper_PHP.php" ); ?>
<?php
if (!WA_Auth_RulePasses("Administrator")){
WA_Auth_RestrictAccess("users_login.php");
}
?>[/php]


you could add that at the beginning of the new pages you create.

Interesting, I will give this a try.

Any plans on adding this kind of functionality into PowerCMS builder?

This is not something we are planning on. you can post a feature request to the wish list forum to have it considered for a future version.

Thank you, I will make the request.
