Adding Fields to StarterCart
Every shopping cart that I have tried or reviewed has some generic fields in their products that are meant to handle any product data that wasn't otherwise covered by their existing fields. I never liked this approach. It makes the GUI user somehow responsible for data structure and probably doesn't eliminate the need for custom code anyway.
With StarterCart, I took a different approach. Instead of having several product fields as well as some generic fields, I have only the bare bones - fields for the name, price, description. I honestly debated about whether or not to include a description field.
So, how do you add fields?
