Hi,
I am currently developing an online platform for a personal (fitness) trainer. Customers will receive an account on this platform where they'll be able to interact with their personal trainer, access a database of exercises (and related images and other media) and keep track of their activities and planning.
One of the key content types here will be 'exercise', with details on specific fitness exercises. One thing we'd like to add to this content type is which muscles are used in the exercise.
What I'd like to develop is a way for the author of an exercise to select a number of muscles which, instead of showing just words to the viewer of the exercise node, results in an image of a male or female with the right parts of the body marked in colour.
Seeing that when developed properly, this could be a useful feature for many others, I'd like to throw the idea out there, find out with you lot what the best approach would be and perhaps find some people who would be willing to work on this as well.
A number of questions I'd like to start off with :
1) CCK Field or Taxonomy ?
How do we store the muscles that a certain node is connected to ? Do we create a vocabulary or do we make it a CCK field type ? I'm inclined to choose the latter, but I'm eager to hear your view on this.
2) Method of visualization
