Dear Alex and all,

I have installed DBMan in less than 3 minutes and its working great and fast.

Now, I need to know how to customize it.

Here is what I need it to do.

I need it to be open to the public without passwords.

I need all viasitors to add their
Synagogue Name
Adress,
City,
State,
Country,
URL,
Contact Name

Like I said before, I am not good at tempering with CGI code.

Can anyone instruct me in simple english on how to do this?

Thank you in advance.

Sol

Thanks Alex.
I will try it this comming weekend, since I am working 70+ hours a week for the nexty 3 months.

What I want is to have it WIDE Open EXCEPT the Delete part.

I do not want anyone to be able to delete anything except me.

As far as adding I need it wide open as well, but no delete or Modify.

Thank you for your reply. I really do apreciate all of your help.

Like I said, even though our site is (will be) None-Profit, I will pay for it because ITS NOT expensive and your time is valuable.

Good support should allways be rewarded.

Thanks and happy new years...

Sol

Oh, by the way, here is the URL http://www.karaim.net/Synagogues/db.cgi

Thank you.

Hi Sol,

I'd recommend:

1. Go to http://gossamer-threads.com/scripts/dbman/build.cgi and enter in your field information.

2. Cut and paste the %db_def that was generated overtop your old one in default.cfg.

3. Set permissions accordingly (you haven't stated who should have access to add,remove, modify,view). To set it completely wide open, set $auth_no_authentication = 1, and @auth_default_permissions = (1,1,1,1,0); Read through the README for a description of what the permissions mean.

4. Set $db_auto_build = 1 so that all your forms will be created for you.

5. Now try it out! Make sure you start with an empty database file, then try adding, deleting, searching, etc. Once your happy it works, you can turn auto_build off, and try creating your own form/look.

Cheers,

Alex

Kwli: Sure, it's not much, but it's on the site at:
