Hello all, Have a page that has a grid of information that needs to be easily editable and looking for suggestions on how to accomplish it in a drupal-esque way. There is no complex logic.
Here is an example of what the page will emulate. http://skimadriver.com/snowreport.php
Adding to the options below, you could define your own views style plugin that accepts the resulting nodes from the views query and then output your own custom table to make it look exactly right. The advantage being you get all the views query goodness and all you have to do is make sure the data is output the way you want.
Depending on the amount of manpower/budget you have available, I would say (high to low): * custom module. Allows you to make the admin UI tailor made for the client. As well as the result for vieuwers. Design your own (highly optimised) tables, simple code, performs a lot better then any general (cck/views) will avver be able to, and gets you 98% where the client wants to get. * Custom modules, only handling the display/ The input UI would be CCK, plus some (unfriendly, scattered) settings and GUI pages. Often clients (think they) don't need fancy input, as long as the output is 100% what they need. This will get you very close there. The input is often a digital version of ductape+rubberbands+paperclips and some jumping hoops. * Views+cck. All ready made, but will never get you 100 where the client wants to be. Often fine enough, but ofteb it gets you less then 60% where the client wants to get. So it may be way out of line.
