RPInventory

I have been working on the "Categories" features, and as I go, I am creating generalized functions for many of the tasks that we currently have a function for each field (i.e. formatting the <option> tags for Locations, Businesses, Categories, etc.) This will allow us to much more easily implement the "general inventory" features that we have been discussing.

For example, I made a function in lib/display.lib.php called get_options:

@/** * get_options is used for formatting the <option>s of a <select> box. * * @param $tableName is the table from which to retrieve the values. * @param $valueColumn value that will be <option value="here"> for each <option> * @param $displayColumn value that will be <option>displayed here</option> * * @return formatted list of <option> tags.
**/
function get_options($tableName, $valueColumn, $displayColumn)@

This will allow us to generate these <select> boxes independent of the types of fields being stored.
