Question about DBMan
Hello,
I am setting up my DBMan, and I'm having troulbe...of course that's vague....when I try to Add an entry, in the form (where you enter the stuff) There are coments in the feilds (where your supposed to enter the stuff)

If anyone understands what I mean (It's hard to explain) you can take a gander at www.justdisney.com/Home/dbman/db.cgi I think the admin/admin still works.

It looks like you have deleted the entries in
% db_select_fields
% db_radio_fields
% db_checkbox_fields
but you didn't change sub html_record in the html.pl file to reflect the changes.

I would suggest that you set

$db_auto_generate = 1;

in the .cfg file if you have set up your database fields.

You might try following the tutorial at http://www.jpdeni.com/dbman/tutorial.html to show you how to set things up.

Yay!!!! Smile

You might try using the "Configurator" at my site. If you enter your fields, it will create the subroutines you need for the html.pl file.

Other folks have done really well using templates. I don't know how to use them, myself, but there is a mod in the Resource Center to allow the use of templates with DBMan.

Thanks for the kind words about my site. I'm glad it helped you.
