I've been following the cd_collection tutorial so far but realized that I won't be able to realize my module in a backend user friendly manner. Basically I need three tables that should be editable on their own:
tl_elementType
Contains all possible types for the elements (Name, tstamp and id)
tl_elementManufacturer
Contains manufacturers for the elements (Name, tstamp and id)
tl_elements
Contains a name and the type and manufacturer as references. In the backend, I want these to show up as dropdowns.
Do I have to make modules for each table or can I add flat pages with links to modules somehow?
Thanks!
For anyone else having this problem: I suggest using two instead of three tables. Using the first to save your topmost categories and using the latter to store their children. It'll leave you with a bit of fumbling to do but it will work.
