Hi, I want to add a database of searchable information to a website with an initial list of 3,500 records and wondering what would be the best way to do this. Would PHP jabbers be okay or can someone suggest something else more suited to FW?
I use the current version of FW and about to upgrade to Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard.
How many fields (columns), what type of data, and what kind of search are you looking for? Any solution to this problem will start with a better definition of your terms.
Most likely, you would want to run this on your server, so the version of Freeway wouldn’t come into it at all.
You would need an administrative console of some sort on the server, where you would enter all 3,500 records one at a time (or bulk-load them from a CSV file or similar). The public side could be designed in Freeway, and the Freeway-generated HTML file would be used as a template by the server, and filled in with the variable data.
Three columns, which includes a photo or logo, (column 1) description (column 2) and contact details (column 3).The PHP jabbers looks like it will fulfil the criteria including the search but I’m wondering if this will be okay on FW and how it would be inserted into the site. The hosting used is fine with PHP and MySQL. However, I don’t want the data to be easily copied and pasted.
Bulk loaded from a .csv is preferable otherwise it will be a long slow process.
