I have been working on my site for a very long time and am almost done. I needed a powerful database, so I chose DBMan based on user recommendation. I have set up the database the way I want it (with the excellent "validate records" mod, but I have noticed some things about the database that must be changed before I can release the site.
I have a description field that is to be displayed with every record. These fields will contain large amounts of text. However, whenever I view the record after it is submitted, the text continues across the screen and does not "word wrap" as it could be called. The description field is a text area and I have installed the "autogenerate enhancements" mod (just the part that replaces sub_build_html) but nothing is happening.
That brings me to my next problem. I need to make web addresses automatically into clickable links - "autogenerate enhancements" is supposed to do that as well, but it does not. I have tried "AutoURL 2.0" as well, but I still do not end up with clickable links.
The only other thing I would like to do is make the whole database appear as a pop-up window. It would be ideal for my site.
If anyone would be kind enough to help, I'd be very grateful.
P.S. - JPDeni - your site is very well done and extremely helpful.
