See how it works!
W2g let's you define objects without writing any line of program code.
Click on "Module config" in the main menu. Let's say you define a new module called "Company addresses". After entering the title you define the properties "name", "street", "zip code" and "town". Click on "Create table structure" to create the structure in your database. Then, click the compile button and you have immediately a web based application that manages company addresses. You have
- a detail view
- a main view, with filter parameters
- a search form
- an input form for creating new entries or editing existing entries
- CSV and Excel (tm) export
- many more sophisticated features
You can link modules with each other to create sub modules, such as contact persons assigned to a company, appearing in a tab view. You can define arbitrary categories to tag your company addresses. You can define distinct modules to appear in the main menu. You can define a home view showing the newest contents of several modules.
If this is not enough and you want more customizations then load the auto-generated skel file for your module into your favourite editor and extend it by custom program code in Perl. Just fill the auto-created files in the "cache" subdir.
W2g also comes with an administration frontend containing the following stuff:
- User + user group management
- Category management
- Styles management
