I'm writing a product configuration system. I have a list rules to
code, as if part A is added, then parts B and C need to be added as
well. etc, etc.
The rules change quite a bit as the products are refined, so I
thought it would be really cool if I could give the product managers
a little mini-language where they could build their own if-statements
and other simple rules without having to come back to me to recode
everything. I would write an interface that would be sort of a
"script-builder" for them, and it would check for correct syntax
before saving
I've started sketching out how I'm going to do it myself but it
sure is a big task. I'd hate to be reinventing the wheel.
Sure, RBScript seems like an easy answer, but that's too techy for
the intended audience.
FileMaker's "Script Builder" is a good example of what I'm trying to do
Our system is partly in PHP and partly in RealBasic, so I can write
it either way
