I am working on a program that will have the following:

SO with Website info

SO with WP Install info

One website can have multiple WP installs

OK, One to many... that I can do

Each WP Install can have multiple different plugins

OK... so I WAS going to use Jim's tutorial and a Combo box so that the end user can add plugins

BUT...

I would like each plugin to have additional info about it, such as its location on the hard drive, notes about its installation and settings as well as a second memo editor with general notes...

SO... how should I hand the plugins? I am trying to avoid someone having to add the same plugins over and over.

If I make the plugins a separate SO doing a WP Install SO to Plugins SO as a One to Many, if I make the plugins clonable, can someone copy an paste the majority of a plugin's info from one WordPress to another and then just tweak the plugin info as needed?

Did this make any sense at all? LOL

Plugin will be an object. Installed Plugins will be an object.

Create a one to many relationship between Plugin (parent) and Install Plugins (child).
Create a one to many relationship between WP (Parent) and Installed Plugins (Child).

haha no problem.

You are asking great questions and your line of thinking is spot on when it comes to creating software. ;)

Thanks, T.

I went wild last night, bought a new domain (I am a late night domain impulse buyer) designed the logo and theme and came up with a list of products. I have 3 almost done and another 4-5 in the planning stages ;-)

Then I need to decide WSO or what? LOL
