What is the ac_CustomFields table used for??
Posted: Thu Apr 30, 2009 11:52 am
I was curious as to the typical use for the ac_Customfields table...
I was looking around while I was trying to add some extra information to my category levels, and came across this table.
I am trying to add a field to my categories, such as "Definition". Would the CustomFields table work for this purpose??
So, I would essentially add:
TableName = "ac_Categories"
FieldName = "Definition"
FieldValue = "Whatever here..."
ForeignKeyId = 357 (<-- that is the category I am adding information to)
StoreId = 1
Would this be a good use of this table? I know that to retrieve these new values, then, I would have to use the LoadForCriteria...
Just wanted to make sure, though, that this was the purpose of the table before using it in this capacity.
(I'm just so sick of creating new DAL's)
Thanks for the help,
Scott
