I'd like to add a column to the item table in the database, and make sure its included properly in places like
class_item.php, so it can be rendered in shop and inventory pages. It also needs to be included in the admin back end when an item is created.
So~ just how many pages will I need to be editing/how painful is this going to be?
Should I just basically be imitating how categories are done?
The rarity will initially be used as a visual indicator of how potent or costly the item is. Later, when I make a system that will dispense random items from a specific category, the rarity will determine the percent chance you will end up having that random item dispensed.

In phpMyAdmin, I already added the column to the database with -
Code:
ALTER TABLE `adopts_items` ADD `rarity` VARCHAR(40) NOT NULL DEFAULT 'common' ;
- and this will allow all current items to have a 'common' rarity, and all future items to be such as well, if a rarity is not supplied when the item is created.

OK NVM. Apparently that was literally all I needed to do. I can already use {$item->rarity}. For example, in inventoryview.php, all I had to do was add rarity to the headers -
PHP Code:
$inventoryTable->buildHeaders("Image", "Category", "Name", "Description", "Rarity", "Quantity", "Use", "Sell", "Toss");
- and then add it to the table (I added it after description).
PHP Code:
$cells->add(new TCell($item->rarity));
-
SO all I have left to do is make it so I can add the rarity on the admin end during item creation...
