Bolt has impressed me thus far, but would it be a good choice to rebuild an existing web app (PlateWire)? -
directed to: bolt , bolt experienced developers
site in question: platewire
brief description: website people can register automobile's license plate , send virtual messages other drivers using license plate identifier.
currently site built using asp.net (built on weekend in 2006, has not been updated since; know, bad developer). site built plans globalize, never got further us; version intend include ability every country, , eventually, many languages available (localization).
i'm confident can build extensions of more specific parts, example creating/adding plate visually similar enough actual plate display previews. questions more in how of bolt's internal structure can i/should use if decide go route?
specifically using taxonomy , relationships (?) following items:
- location (city, state/region, country)
- vehicle (make, model, color)
- plates (background image (if any), background color, text color, etc)
- ratetype (name, color, icon)
rates/wire believe work best contenttypes if understanding correctly.
i love journal process , develop interest in both platewire , bolt if turns out easy think be. if there examples or guidance guys might able provide me, go long way me figure out if not fun successful project.
i have sketched out database diagram based on building scratch, not require due bolt's available functionality. let me know if you'd me share this; i'd prefer privately if so.
thanks in advanced,
mark
the data model describe work within bolt. of items describe can caught within bolt's contenttypes.
as links between them: think location, vehicle , plates ought use relations. ratetype should category taxonomy.
that said, perhaps vehicle tag taxonomy well, if you're not strict, , use them [volvo, green, hatchback].
