Posting to DB - 11/10/2004 12:31:31   
I'm using Spooky Login 3.05. For some reason, I can't seem to wrap my mind around this. I have a db for "employers". I want them to be able to post multiple job openings (some may have 100+ openings). Where should they post their job openings? On the registration page? ex. - JobOpening1, JobOpening2, etc.? until I run out of room? Seems like there is a much easier way of doing it, I'm just not smart enough to figure it out. :)

How about in another DB file with a UserID number that matches the SL IDs? Then you can display all the items (with a DRW or whatever) that match the ID.

See, I wouldn't suggest changing the SL DB itself in case of upgrades and such. Having said that, you may be able to add just a table and still keep it manageable.

Any help?

I believe I see what you are saying. I suppose I should give more detail on what I'm thinking of doing. I want to create a subfolder for each employer. The employer will have approx. 10 web pages and will be able to control the content of the pages. They will also have their own db, which will actually supply alot of the content of the web pages, but will also be used as a Job Opening db. I just need to figure out how the employer can post multiple job openings without having to create multiple account for themselves to do so.

I'm not quite sure of what you mean by "another db file". If I create a form to post to the db for the job openings, will the form overwrite the same fields each time it is posted? Maybe I'm not on the same track...? :)

I was talking about a database separate from the Spooky Login DB. If you have an identifier (for instance a SL UserID), you could put all the postings in 1 DB file and display it based on the employer identifier. Unless the pages vary greatly, you may want to consider just 1 page and having it built dynamically based on which employer's content is being viewed.

However, don't try to force a "square peg into a round hole", it may work better with different content pages. It's not wrong to do it that way at all...
