Hello, I moved to here since my dbman is working ,
I didnt managed to allow users to view the DB without logging and to login to add. so, i made frams. but, login/logout on the menu will be nice. (not logout to the site, but to the login screen).

Also, i want to view the records in one table, with
head line, like that:
------------------------------------------
| Name | Field 1 | Field 2 |
-------------------------------------------
| Entry 1 | Entry 1 | Entry 1 |
etc.

the add on i saw, as far as i see its only
put them in one row.

Also, i downloaded the User Friendly html.pl
file. are the addons will be good with that too?
------------------------------------
Your DB is coooool, just some suggestions...

1) Add target="" attributes to your logoff links, and also for logging in.

2) Use the Compact Format Mod in the Resource Center.

3) These can be used with the friendly html.pl Mod.

Regards,

I'm not sure I understand what you want as far as your display goes. Could you give me an example with some sample data of 3 or 4 records being returned?

------------------------------------------
| Name | Field 1 | Field 2 | /* This is the title */
-------------------------------------------
| Entry 2 | Entry 2| Entry 2 | /* The Entry 1
-------------------------------------------
| Entry 3| Entry 3 | Entry 3 |
-------------------------------------------
| Entry 4 | Entry 4| Entry 4 |
-------------------------------------------
| Entry 5 | Entry 5| Entry 5 |

My problem is that I don't understand your use of the word "Entry." Is this a link to a full record? Is it a field in the same record where you got "Name"? I just don't know where you would be getting the text you're going to print out.

Entry is one record on the DB. like
Person details, or one book, its a record or entry.

(if its not, sorry, i am not from the US )

and if i am here , also, is there a way to make
some field on one record or entry. clickable?
like ICQ number as a link to send message.

you can see my DB at:
gameclan.cwihosting.com. Click on ICQ List

Okay. I got what you mean by "Entry." (It's not exactly a problem with English. We who use databases all the time have our own sub-language. We use it so often that we can't translate very well. )

So you want one field of the records to print out in a table. Or do you want the whole record to print out?

Using the data from your site, do you want your search results to be like this?

ICQ Number | Name | Zone_Name | Game_Types |
--------------------------------------------
55308174 |Moshe | CMP_Moshe | All Except CNR |
64381051 |Robin | CMP_Robin131| Midtown_UK |

(I don't know how that's going to come out once it's formatted. I hope you get the idea.)

Yes, you can certainly make one of the fields a link.

The first thing you're going to need to do is to create your own sub html_record and sub html_record_form. One easy way to do this would be to use the "Configurator" script on my site at http://www.jpdeni.com/dbman/config.html . You already have the .cfg file done, but if you enter the fields in the Configurator, it will give you a printout of sub html_record and sub html_record_form that will match your fields.

Once you paste the code from the Configurator printout into your html.pl file, open your .cfg file and set

$db_auto_generate = 1;

Then upload both files and check to make sure all is working okay. If it is, then you can start to work on making the search results look like you want them to.

yes, i want them exactly as you described. I tried to do it, but i dont know what to do. i am not good with CGI printing

and what are the IE problems that says there?

The problems that some folks have had with IE and the Configurator is that, when they click the buttons to produce the text files, they don't get a display of the files, but a window where they can download the file. If they download the file, it is in the wrong format. Netscape works. I don't know how to make IE work. Then again, I haven't had problems with IE, either.
