I remind you that it's always an alpha version!
Anyway...!
Field: Is parent, used for tables categories or topics in case you want to create a kind of code for this decree, unlike the code of any table that has a field as the topics or categories.
I'll give you an example:
If you create a table categories or topics, you create code to the form is hidden, even if there are no categories or topics first.
For other tables instead creates another code for the categories or topics field in the form.
We take as a prototype topics table from the news module:
CREATE TABLE topics (
topic_id smallint(4) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
topic_pid smallint(4) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
...
and the stories table to the same mdule:
CREATE TABLE stories (
storyid int(8) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
...
topicid smallint(4) unsigned NOT NULL default '1',
...
as you can see there is a field topic_pid by clicking on the checkbox field: Is parent and then click the
Table: Categories or
Table: Topics,
As you can see, the
Field: is parent, just serves to identify a parent filed.
See that there is a field topic_pid by clicking on the checkbox and then click the item, you create parent id for the table type categories or topics.
In the other tables, it is the same process.
The difference between the code tables categories or topics, is determined by the radiobutton
Is Category? present during the creation of the category or topic in the form of tables.
Of course I said, Categories or Topics for reference only, you can use any name for the type of category or topic.
Warning: this is a test for me that you should do, there may be errors while compiling the module or during the test of your new module.
For this reason, I encourage you to report any kind of error or warning you encounter.
Thank you!
