I'm not sure if the following is possible, if there's a project or another way of doing it but if someone could shed some light that would be brilliant.
Basically, for reasons that I won't bore you with, I have three node types:
Courses, regions and Study Methods, so I create a list of courses and study methods.
Courses
English,
Maths,
Physics
Study Methods
Online,
Face to face,
Distance Learning
The issue that I can't see past is when I create a region what I'd like to be able to do is associate a list of available courses in that region (easily done with a multinode tree picker) and a list of study methods but the difference with the study methods is that when they select a study method I need them to enter a series of prices for that study method, so in effect a multinode tree picker again but with a list of fields that they also need to populate. And that's where my issue is, I've no clue how to do that or if i's even possible.
Are those fields they need to fill in shared? As in, couldn't you put those properties on your study method document type? That way, you can just get the content from the picker and get the prices directly from that.
The study method prices differ from region to region and the prices could be overridden by bespoke countries in that region.
So English running in Europe being studied Online costs £500
English running in APAC being studied online costs $1000
But English running in Spain being studied online costs a different price to the rest of Europe.
What I'm trying to avoid as it'll end up so confusing for the CMS editors is a host of nested nodes. So if I could ask them to select a study method and enter any bespoke prices at the same time (without creating nodes underneath) that would be ideal.
