Adding Features

I used the database to write a short piece for a group paper and discovered that I needed to have the page number of quotes appear. I also created a View Quotes choice in the Resource list that shows all the quotes related to a particular resource AND has the title at the top of the page. I would like to add the author and other biblio information so I have it on one screen. The volume, etc. won’t be hard because it’s in the same table as the title. The author will require another query related to the resource id: Hmm…I suppose you would create a function called show Authors and then have them show up. I’ve done this before I think. That’s the peril of having to do other things besides code: you lose track of the project somehow. For instance, I was thinking about the View Quotes feature and was pleased to discover that I had already created a View Notes option related to quotes. So I just modified a few field references and voila! I had a webpage.
