Migration of Campuses to table #42

If we're doing the 'kinds' field, might as well do this one too. Will be a prerequisite if we're open-sourcing this.

elben commented 11 years ago

The only problem I have is, some orgs may not want/have campuses/kinds and may need other fields. This goes back to dynamic "tags". The biggest problem isn't necessarily the tagging structure; it's mostly the inflexible create/update forms due to active_admin.

elben commented 11 years ago

Basically, if you think it in generic terms:

There are fields that you want to be filterable
For the Stone, these fields happen to contain day, kinds, campus. Other orgs may have any arbitrary fields.
What is the right balance?

elben commented 11 years ago

This implies the map filters may also need to be generalizable to the "schema". You have fields that are one-and-only-one, one-or-none, or many.

jasontbradshaw commented 11 years ago

Good point. This could be solved with a 'Filter' table, where each has:

A name
A 'type' (one-or-none, many)
Several values

This is actually how I've internally structured the thing on the front-end already.
