View Idea: Nested View #20

Open designermonkey opened 12 years ago

designermonkey commented 12 years ago

I had an idea the other night about providing a nested checkbox interface for use cases like Nested Categories.

This would require another view that would build the nested view by creating new instances of the related Sections, find their SBL+ field and render it.

Things to think about: How/where would we store the nested data?

Needs a little more thought this one.

I don't really get it... Could you provide a use case / example of this functionality?

It's a complicated one, and I'm not even sure it can be done.

The user would see a list of categories, with checkboxes, each category would have it's children available accordion style under the category.

The categories and children would be another section I guess.

I think the fact that I can't even figure out how it would be done, shows how flimsy an idea this is. For Instance, selecting a parent category would store that relationship against the field, but where would children categories be stored? Hmmm.
