I want to add an extra html page thats still within the database.

For example: i have a kind of online league, and the winners from each game earn points and they get to spend those points on skills etc. I still want to call up elements of the database, like username etc.

I have a page ready made but how do i put it in? Do i need to make an extra sub in the html.pl file?
Almost forgot i want to have a link to the page from the menu in the footer.


Thanks for your help, and its an excellent db package :)

Check out the "unofficial FAQ" maintained by LoisC at: http://webmagic.hypermart.net/dbman/ and look under "viewing" there will be good options.

Q: Almost forgot i want to have a link to the page from the menu in the footer

A: Under "sub html_footer" copy & paste another link like:

You'll have to hack around with it until you get it like you want... to view a specific record (say #123) you'd replace db_key=* with ID=123 (of course that's if you're using ID as the key).

Good Luck!
