Hi all.
I'm trying to develop a sort of user-managed checklist site. I think that I will most likely take a forum, such as phpBB2/3, and mod it to my liking.
For the checklist part, users will be able to browse checklists, add them to their "list" and be able edit their checklists and update them.
My first question is how to go about updating the database, via PHP, or maybe javascript.
I have some javascript checkbox work, going, where a user can click a checkbox, and it will change the background color. I was wondering if I'd be able to do a direct database update from when the user clicks, or if it would be better to just have a submit button at the bottom of the list.
I'm also curious if anyone knows of any checklist-type database management that may be out there.
I'm also trying to think of the best way to go to store checklists in a database, and have users all be able to save the status of the checklists for themselves.
If you were curious, the point of all this is to create checklists related to games, such as MMO, where users take multiple steps in achieving a goal, and it becomes difficult to always remember the tasks in which you have completed.
Thanks a bunch for any help, examples, or points in the right direction!
I've got a pretty good grip on PHP, and some knowledge in JavaScript. HTML is no problem.
