I just talked my company into purchasing NxTrend. We're starting implementation in the very near future. I'll be trying to build a web front-end for it using php. Just curious- has anyone been through an implementation like this?
I'm sticking with PHP because for web applications, in my experience, PHP is the best of any web app language. There isn't much that you can't do with it.
I've come to the conclusion that I'll have to build a separate MySQL database to store additional information about our products- I was disappointed to discover that the description field for products in NxTrend are limited to 24 characters, and that the 'notes' field is broken into a series of pages (so that a moderately long description may span several records). So my plan is to keep a separate database with more flexible product name, description, and file attachment information. (I was so hoping to avoid two databases. Oh, well.)
