Answered Custom Module Evolution To CMP in Revolution

I'm going to(am already) convert an Evolution website to Revolution. Not because it really needs to, but i want to learn Revolution and hey, something new and shiny makes me feel good. ;-)

Can someone tell me what the best practice would be for doing what the titale already says, converting a custom module in Evolution to a Custom Manager Page in Revolution?

I could just connect the way it used to, with a few minor fixes here and there, i could also (my preference) do thing the Revo way and convert my queries and make the look and feel like it is a revo extent, or i could start from scratch(REALLY DON'T want that, but if there's no other way).

The module is a custom module where i can manage trips, services for my booking engine and see price requests people make on that site.

What would be a proper approach for this, and does somebody have more info on styling the CMP to look just like the rest in Revolution?

Thanks in advance.

Okay, i just toyed with MIGXdb for half an hour. PURE AWESOMENESS!
I will now go and reverse engineer my existing tables and get them running in there.

Thanks so much for this golden tip.

There should be more awesomeness on it as you can see in half an hour.

There is, i already have ported all my tables and module into MIGX. And they work like a charm, even the filtering is out of the box pretty darn good. I will sure run into something one of these days, i'll know where to look now.
Thanks a million.

Ok, a NOOB question maybe, but i can't seem to find where i can set this question to Answered. ?

When viewing the thread, there should be a star in the upper right corner of each post. Just click the one that you want to be the answer.

I don't have a star here, not in Chrome, IE nor on a different computer.
Should i file this somewhere?

Hm. I am usually the one answering questions, not asking them But at some point there is a star in the corner of each post as you mouse over them.

Are you sure you have it flagged as a question? If it is (and you can do so by clicking "Modify" on any post, scrolling to the top of the page and selecting Discussion or Question), your first post will have a message about marking the answer, and each post will have a grey star in the upper right as you mouse over them. Clicking the star on a post will tag that one as the answer.

Flagged as question and marked your first reply as the answer.
