Hi

Still trying to get to grips with the DBMan script. I've managed to get the scripts working fine with the 'default' files, but when I update the default.cfg file (to include my db fields), then upload the file (I don't rename it), the new settings do not take affect.
It is strange behaviour, as I added another value for one of the select fields, and this was displayed when I attempted to modify the field. But none of the field headers have changed. Is there some other files I need to amend to get the changes to take affect?

I also seem to get a major db error if I add more than 10 or 11 fields. Is this a known bug?

Actually, forget that last message.
I didn't know I had to edit the html.pl file too!!
[Boy, that's hard work!]

You can use JPDeni's configurator which is part of her DBMan tutorial at http://jpdeni.com/dbman/

First make a list of all the fields you want to use .. then enter then in the configurator and it will output the portions of your html.pl file for the add form and display of records. And also create your .cfg file for you.

Then you just need to modify the coding to remove extra html coding and format the display as you wish.

It's great for helping those who are new to DBMan to get a feel for how to code for hidden and admin fields, etc.

Thanks for the info.
I've just discovered your site for the mods to DBMan. I've now managed to get what I would call a 'magical' database.
You can view at http://www.barfl.co.uk/...n/db.cgi?uid=default, and I'm very proud of it.
I've used a little mod from your website to display my records in a spreadsheet like table, but I also wanted to use your Send Records mod to send the whole table via e-mail.
Unfortunately, the Send Records mod doesn't work with the Spreadsheet mod.
Can you advise?

Thanks a bunch for your help ....

Great job on your database.

The send records mod is to send a copy of individual records. I don't see how it would be possible to send the output of all records.

People could print a copy of the page outputs according to the search results.

The mods were all written by JPDeni .. just to clarify :)
