    Seam overlay and associated table question

    vicky123

      Hi All,
      I have 2 questions.
      1.) I have to display all add/edit forms in an overlay like http://www.eyemany.com(click on Forgot password for example).
      How do I achieve something like this?
      2.) I have three tables USER, USER_META_DATA and USER_DATA. USER table contains basic information of a user like name, email, password etc. USER_META_DATA table contains additional fields for a user like some user will have phone number and some will have cell number. And this thing is set according to the company they work in.

      ex.
      Company A wants to capture home phone of a user and
      Company B wants to capture cell phone of a user.
      When we add a user for Company A the form will contain 'home phone' field which is in USER_META_DATA table.
      When we add a user for Company B the form will contain 'cell phone' field which is also in USER_META_DATA table.

      DATA MODEL:-
      USER:-
      user_id
      first_name
      last_name
      email
      password
      companyId
      
      USER_META_DATA:-
      umd_id
      companyId
      label
      
      USER_DATA:-
      umd_id
      user_id
      value
      

      For company A screen would look like this
      First Name--------TextBox
      Last Name---------TextBox
      Email-------------TextBox
      Password----------TextBox
      Home Phone--------TextBox
      


      For company B screen would look like this
      First Name--------TextBox
      Last Name---------TextBox
      Email-------------TextBox
      Password----------TextBox
      Cell Phone--------TextBox
      


      Hope I made myself clear.

      I am not aware of the right way to achieve both. Can anyone throw some light on this?

      Thanks in advance.
