| | 35 | chamindra> sometimes they will just say "food" or "water" without a quantity |
| | 36 | <chamindra> but then you need to ask for how many people |
| | 37 | <chamindra> which is why that field is there for |
| | 38 | <chamindra> units are not compulsory |
| | 39 | <scopatz> How specific does, say the food field need to be? |
| | 40 | <chamindra> IMO not very |
| | 41 | <scopatz> For instance, is Rice good enough, or do we need to be very specific like Brown Rice |
| | 42 | <scopatz> Ok, |
| | 43 | <chamindra> possibly you can have a highlevel drop down category |
| | 44 | <chamindra> :-) |
| | 45 | <nicopresto> AJAX dropdown |
| | 46 | <scopatz> Right that is what I was thinking |
| | 47 | <chamindra> no ones going to care with the rice is brown or white right now me thinks :-) |
| | 48 | <scopatz> because the alternative would be a foos string that then gets parsed |
| | 49 | <chamindra> but you are right in some instances |
| | 50 | <chamindra> like if it is pork or for religious reasons |
| | 51 | <scopatz> *foods |
| | 52 | <scopatz> Right point taken |
| | 53 | <chamindra> so possible as you said one high level category |
| | 54 | <scopatz> OK so we'll come up with a representative list for a drop down menu |
| | 55 | <chamindra> food, water, aid, medical, etc |
| | 56 | <scopatz> Great, that makes life easier for the matching |
| | 57 | <chamindra> and a free text box for the sub category |
