Has anyone played around with the auto-generate forms feature? What exactly does it do, and how well does it do it?
This is what I think it does. Please, someone tell me if I've got it right:
I started off with a properly working default version of DBman. Next, I configure my own desired fields in the .cfg file, including the select-options I want in my various <select> fields.
Question (1) Am I right in understanding that I don't need to mess with the html.pl file at all, if I enable $db_auto_generate?
Question (2) When auto_generate does its stuff, does it alter the html.pl file, or does it just generate the forms every time you run DBman, without altering sub html_record_form and sub html_record?
The above may be dumb questions, I don't know. I'm a bit new to Perl.
Much appreciated!
