    <p>I've got a somewhat primitive framework I've been using for most of my projects, but a general design issue came to mind that I haven't been able to work out yet. For a given application, should I separate the application-specific class structure from the framework's structure, or is building on top of the framework not such a bad thing?</p> <p>For example, say I had a framework with a base Controller class and extended it for a given part of my application. Which arrangement makes the most sense, and why?</p> <p><strong>Class Structure A:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Intuitive, easy to find source files when debugging.</li> <li>File naming/directory structure mirrors class heirarchy.</li> </ul> <pre> - Framework_Control "Framework\Control.php" - Framework_Control_Index "Framework\Control\Index.php" - Framework_Control_Home "Framework\Control\Home.php" - Framework_Control_Contact "Framework\Control\Contact.php" - Framework_Control_About "Framework\Control\About.php" </pre> <p><strong>Class Structure B:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Keeps framework modular and easily to replace/update.</li> <li>Adds some complexity to directory structure, directory/file naming no longer follows class heirarchy all the time.</li> </ul> <pre> - Framework_Control "Framework\Control.php" - Application_Control_Index "Application\Control\Index.php" - Application_Control_Home "Application\Control\Home.php" - Application_Control_Contact "Application\Control\Contact.php" - Application_Control_About "Application\Control\About.php" </pre> <p>I know overall it's going to come down to personal preference, but I want to make sure I weigh out all the pros and cons before I decide which way to go. It really comes down to class naming and directory structure as the actual hierarchy would remain the same in either case.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
