[11:51:33]<ddsh[m]>Would farmOS be a good way to manage a farm that is mostly recovering and reselling seeds?
[11:54:29]<ddsh[m]>*selling, not reselling
[11:58:55]<canadrian[m]><ddsh[m] "Would farmOS be a good way to ma"> Probably depends what you want to use it for. The ledger module can track some purchases and sales, mostly for the purposes of tracking food history, but it’s not a full-fledged eCommerce platform. That said, it Drupal so it could always be extended with other modules.
[12:05:22]<mstenta[m]>ddsh: agree with canadrian - the focus of farmOS is production records, but NOT sales/order/customer management
[12:05:42]<mstenta[m]>so you can record all of the information around the growing and harvesting of seeds
[12:05:44]<mstenta[m]>as well as inputs etc
[12:06:02]<mstenta[m]>hope that helps! :-)

[16:41:00]<ddsh[m]>mstenta: Yes, esxactly :) More concerned about the growing and harvesting of seeds. For e-commerce probably connect it to another platform, but was hoping that the platform can help keep track on seed production and not just produce. Although I guess that technically they should make no difference to FarmOS
[16:45:17]<mstenta[m]>Ah yea... well... you may be interested in this feature request: https://www.drupal.org/project/farm/issues/3022158
[16:45:32]<mstenta[m]>That is for adding a new "Seed" asset type, for managing seed inventory
[16:45:35]<mstenta[m]>Right now you can manage "Planting" assets
[16:45:37]<mstenta[m]>So that may work
[16:55:47]<ddsh[m]>mstenta: thanks :) One question: Is there a reason why the user can't just add a new type of asset?
[17:00:39]<symbioquine[m]>See https://github.com/farmOS/farmOS/issues/274
[17:01:55]<symbioquine[m]>TL;DR; It's theoretically possible to get that meta, but right now there's some wiring that needs to happen in custom Drupal module code to make all the right UI stuff work for a new asset type.
[17:04:06]<symbioquine[m]><ddsh[m] "mstenta: thanks :) One question"> I'm assuming you meant through the UI.
[17:04:46]<ddsh[m]>Yes
[17:05:17]<symbioquine[m]>Actually https://github.com/farmOS/farmOS/issues/262 is relevant too
