Accessories with database access
Development and Programming
Howdy :O)
I’m in the middle of developing a help system accessory so that publish help content can be displayed on various pages. I’ve got it all working correctly using accessory views for the different pages, but i want to take it to the next step and save the page contents to database via ajax, so the user can simply add their own content (using wigwam? so they can add images and or video to the page help accessory section) Is this possible? and is there a tutorial somewhere that I can look at about how to add database access to accessories including install / de-install …
Any help would be greatly appreciated :O)
One of these days I’ll turn this into a short tutorial - but here’s the gist:

And the thread it spawned from: http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/174318/
(Note that I didn’t use a view file because at the time there was a bug preventing it from loading a view. Now you can load a view though.)
