Hi,

This is probably a super simple question, so I apologize in advance. I've looked through a lot info on BC and I just can't seem to find the answer to my question (although a lot of it seems to go over my head as I am a complete n00b at BC and I feel like my hands are tied without being able to just whip something up in Python or PHP!).

I am trying to create a webpage which will display a single product (the entire website exists just for this 1 product), and the user can click on different color swatches to customize it. I would like my client (website owner) to easily be able to add new colors (using the hex code) for the different parts of the product.

So I basically just need a place where the client can enter in these values, and then I can write them to my page in JavaScript format, and build the dynamic page using JavaScript.

It seemed like the way to do this would be to create a new "Web App" inside of BC. I did that, and I created a "Web App Item" called "Data". Under "Data", I added an "Item Field" called "Color", which is just a multi-line text area. I entered in a few different hex codes like this:

000000

ffffff

003366

(I figured I can parse out the lines with JS)

The problem I am coming across though, is how to get this data into my source code on my webpage? I created a webpage and I put the code in it:

{module_webapps,6042,a,}

but this displays a list of links, with a link to "Data", and then if you click on "Data" you go to a separate web page that just says "Data" on it. Very strange.

Is there any possible way I can get the data entered here into the source of my webpage? (Or is there a much better way to do this?)

As a more general question... It's basically just how to use BC as a CMS and have custom fields that you can then access in your web page. Kind of like WordPress' Advanced Custom Fields plugin, if you are familiar with that. (I know this isn't WordPress, but just SOME way that I can access some values that my client has entered in)

Thanks in advance!
