The overall goal is to be able to see what users think about a particular item . As an added benefit - users can also share information about where to buy the particular items.
 
This page contains a description of an example project that can be used to study different implementation techniques using VDF as a backend.
 
In this example the overall goal is to be able to see what users think about a particular item . As an added benefit - users can also share information about where to buy the particular items.


To accomplish this, then users should be able to:
To accomplish this, then users should be able to:


*login
*login
*create a user account
*choose an item from a list
*choose an item from a list
*enter information about a known item
*enter information about a known item  
*supply a rating of an item
*supply information about the place where an item was bought.
*supply information about the place where an item was bought.
*supply a review of an item
*Overview supplied reviews from other users




The system should be implemented  as a web application, [[Using the AJAX Library]] .
The workspace is available here https://github.com/jacobandresen/ProductReview
 
==Application design ==
 
=== Table layout  ===
We want to store information about users, places, purchases and known items. A user should be either a normal user or an administrator. The other tables should hold sufficient information about the items purchased and how the users liked them.
 
Create these tables in the database builder and create the associated data dictionaries.
 
The following data dictionaries  should now be available:
 
*Item_DataDictionary
*Place_DataDictionary
*Purchase_DataDictionary
*Rating_DataDictionary
*UserInfo_DataDictionary

We want to store information about users, places and known items. The other tables should hold sufficient information about the items and how the users liked them.


=== Creating the webapp ===
The following data dictionaries  should now be available (Note that attributes like "UserId" in Token implies a index  on UserId on Token and a relation to the table "User")
==== Webservice ====


Create a AJAX WebService to call from the clientside VDF Ajax lib. This webservice will be responsible for handling the serverside calls.
==User==
*UserId (Numeric) 
*LoginName (Ascii)
*FirstName (Ascii)
*LastName (Ascii)
*Password (Ascii)
*EmailAddress (Ascii)
*Rights (Ascii)
*StreetAddress (Ascii)
*City (Ascii)
*ZIPCode (Ascii)
*Country (Ascii)


==== Session management ====
==Token==
extending the following in cAjaxSessionManager:
*UserId (Numeric)
*TokenValue (Ascii)
*LastAccessed (Date)


==Shop==
*ShopId (Numeric)
*Name (Ascii)
*Type (Numeric)
*Description (Ascii)
*StreetAddress (Ascii)
*City (Ascii)
*ZIPCode (Ascii)
*Country (Ascii)


*UserLogin: checking if the supplied password is correct
==Product==
*HasRights: does the logged in user have the rights to perform the chosen function?
*ProductId (Numeric)
*Name (Ascii)
*Type (Numeric)
*Description (Ascii)
*ShopId (Numeric)
*Price (Numeric)


==== Creating the Web Objects ====
==Review==
*ReviewId (Numeric)
*ItemId (Numeric)
*UserId (Numeric)
*Rating (Numeric)
*Comment (Ascii)


*item.wo : handling information about items
= Implementation =
*userinfo.wo : handling information about users
*place.wo: handling info about places


==== Creating the web markup ====
[[ProductReview VDF AJAX implementation]]


*ItemList: a list to choose items from
[[Category: Web Applications]]
*Ratings.asp: a list of items with detailed ratings.
[[Category: Data Dictionaries]]
*RateItem.asp: a form to supply rating information about a particular item.
