Hi,
let me say that I'm basically not a programmer. :)
I was wondering if there was anything which has the functionailty which I will describe below:
1. A list of items is presented to the user. (behind the scenes, each has a number of attributes.)
2. Users will be presented with a series of multiple choice questions.
3. Answering each question will present a new listing, which does not include those items which are elimitated because they lack an attribute required by the answer to the question.
This seems to be functionality which would be relatively common?
I've been thinking of how I might implement this using drupal, and my basic idea is:
1. The list will be made of a list of links to items (flexinodes with certain defined fields as attributes.)
2. Each question will run a query on a field, and, if true, will display it's link.
3. as the number of questions answered increases, the number of queries required to create the list increases.
This has the advantage of flexibility, but step 3 might be non-trivial in terms of resources. (although I foresee that the number of questions will be limited to a maximum of 20.)
Does this make sense to you? and - can you suggest how I might go about implementing this? *cough* (erh. how to run a query, how to have multiple lists, etc. I suspect I should create a module?)
Finally, I looked through the 4.6 modules, and nothing like this seems to be available. Does anyone know otherwise?
