texte = I've been using WebCat for a couple of years now, but my use has been limited to modifications of the example systems. and they have worked well. but I'm ready to try a more challenging situation and I'm looking for some feedback on if it will work, what I might need to consider and even how to go about it. here's the situation.Here's what I'd like to do.1. Set up a store that lists all the training classes available to our staff. 2. Allow staff members to register for a class(es) 3. Allow staff members to go back at a later time to change that schedule (add and delete classes) 4. Allow staff members to change only their own schedule 5. Enforce class full limits. ie, only allow 17 people to sign up for each class.I know how to do 1, and 2, and I can probably figure out 3. It's 4 and 5 that I'm trying to figure out. Because as folks sign up, they have to enter their own ID (password or whatever) and use it to get back to the system. I think?!Any experience? Ideas? Advice?Thanks.
