site builder update

Hi site-builder fans! :)

A small update.
I have decided to go for the "webcenter" alternative (see previous post)

I keep running into issues with flash's security settings.
An example :

Imagine you want to add an image to an item in your database.
If i want to load that image into flash from your local system, i first have to send it to a webserver (php script), then let flash know where i've put it on the server, then load it from the server back into flash... to load an Image!!
And that goes for anything you want to load from your local system.
So if we make this whole thing a webcenter, we skip one step in this load/save process.

This means that you can only use this by uploading the store-builder to your server.
Which is not too much to ask i suppose.

The sad thing with all this is the absurd strictness of flash's security.
There definitly are ways around this. Either with javascript or a server side language.
But it's such an annoying hasle... not to mention problems with diverse browsers and settings.
And all i need is a path...

The decision has been made. Webcenter it will be.

I am now working on the item editor. With dragging items you can easily fill your database and design the templates for your items.
As soon as i have finished with converting the application to "web-center" status, i'll make the files available for download. Right now it directly uses my own server, without any security settings...
