Ok all, been getting the itch lately to make a new website. When I first joined this site there was talk of someone making a CPtracker program, don't think anything came of it. So my idea is to make an online version. I am currently trying to set-up the database/tables.

I need to know what general care info I am missing.

Genus
Species
Var
Cultivar
Location

Air temp optimal
-Summer-Day
-Summer-Night
-Winter-Day
-Winter-Night

Water requirements
-Affixed Aquatic/Aquatic/Open tray/Others?
-Water TDS no Greater then X

Soil
-recipe (eh, well I'll choose 1 for everyone )
-pH range
-depth

Flowers
-Winter/spring/summer/fall/anytime..Combos of..

Requires dormancy
-Yes/no
-When

Dormancy requirments
-Dry
-Cold
-Hot
-Others?

Propogation
-Possible ways
-Easiest/Best way
-Plant self fertile
--yes/no
-Flower self pollinates
--yes/no
-cuttings possible
--yes/no
-Cutting leaf
--yes/no
-cutting root
--yes/no

Then next is things to track about your individual plants
Here are a few I keep track of already, think of any others?

Flower
-formed (first sight) date
-open date
-done date

-Tried pollination
--yes/no
--if yes, date
-if yes, With
--genius
--species
--var
--cultivar
--location
-Success
--yes/no
-Seeds collected
--yes/no
--date

Recieved
-Date
-From
-Trade/purchase/gift
--if trade, traded for?
--if purchase, price?
-Size, Height
-Size, Diameter

Number of plants

Cutting taken
-date
-type

Divided
-# of divisions
-date

Dormancy
-start
-end


I am, planning other tables with more details focused to the group, groups are as follows

Seeds - follow seeds from collection to first transplanting
Cuttings - follow from cutting taken to first transplanting
Trades - details of trades - recieved items and sent items
Purchases - purchases
Sales - Sales


And a final note. I really am not good with php/mysql, but this will be a fun learning project. What that means is don't expect a completed site in a few days or anything silly like that.

If anyone is interested in helping, I would be greatful, even if it is just entering data, helping to create the tables etc..

Alright now tell me everything I missed.
 
Oh, and also would anyone use such a site before I do the work...
Ofcourse the site would be 100% free.

Few other tables I thought of

Trade List
Want list
For Sale list

All could be used to find other users that have or want plants.

Trades/Sales would have a feedback system
 
Ok, so after a few hours of work here. I have the Database set-up to allow plants to be entered.

Now I have one question?
Did I open up my firewall to my server?
Can someone try loading this link.
Add a CP

Go aheah and add your favorite species, I'm not ready for hybrids yet, so none of those please. And if you make a spelling mistake Lemme know here, so I can fix it. Just gimmie the ID# and the error.

Edit~ whoops if anyone just tried it try it again, apparently you have to typr all the number of the IP in right...~Edit

Edit~Ok, it works, thanx for not posting you were able to connect. Anywho, Go ahead and enter some plants if you like~Edit
 
Ok got alittle bit more general info I saw in another post.

Germination to maturity - months/years etc.
