About

  • Status: Working (2011-02-04)
  • Used by: Template:Vbzcart
  • Future: rename to Template:Vbzcart; rename Template:Vbzcart to Template:Vbzcart
  • History:
    • 2010-10-13 Coding (store and admin) in progress; noted 3 possible fields to add
    • 2011-02-05 New fields: NameMeta and Usage
  • Notes:
    • Fields I'm considering adding here:
      • A) a flag to indicate that thumbnails of other items in the same category should be shown
      • B) a prefix to be added to NameFull for all child nodes (and maybe a flag to override it)
      • C) a way of creating "virtual" nodes to cross-link to related topics in other branches
  • Uses: Topics are (eventually) to be used in the following places:
    • Topic pages (show what titles are assigned)
    • Topic index (show what item types are [(1) available (2) in stock] for each topic)
    • Title pages
      • show what topics the title is in
      • summarize how many other titles are available for each topic
      • (future) show thumbnails for titles in topics with the A flag
