Hello, I have de demo working fine using the templates.

Everything is default.

Now I want to customise my database.

I'll use the JPDeni configurator to do it, but I do not know how to merge the information from default.cfg file (that it will create) to the new default.cfg file (used in templates), as well as sub html_record_form and sub html_record which I could paste into my html.pl file, but now this is not used anymore.

What do I have to do.
First I want to thank you all for creating this "space" for support and specially to Crossamer Therads, JPDeni and TimRyan's to make my life easyer.

I have never used the template mod and I've only looked over it briefly.

From what I see in the template mod, you'll need to add the section at the bottom of the .cfg file. And maybe change the $db_dir_url, although I don't quite follow what he's doing there.

As for the html.pl file, I'm afraid I have no idea. I don't understand how the templates work. I do know that the code generated by the Configurator won't give you want you need for a template.

So maybe is better if I do not use configurator...
I thing I know how to change the .cfg
but change the templates or .pl will be harder.


Just one more question:
how to make an e-mail field?
because the URL field has an "http://"
so the mail field should have an "mailto:"
??

thanks

Possibly someone who has experience with the templates will have an idea. It would take quite a bit of study for me to figure it out.

Yes...they are...in the dbm_templates.pl file. Paste the codes before the &load_template codes.

And all you have to do is add the form codes for the sub html_record_form into your add, modify, and delete template files and the codes for the sub html_record into the html_record.html template file...

Keep in mind that you need to change codes like $rec{'Fieldname'} with <%Fieldname%> in the template files.

Oliver - you need to upload your DBMan files in ASCII mode NOT binary.

at least in the cuteftp was that way

but I'll transfer again to make sure

This is an error message of binary file?

Was realy a cuteFTP error
I made ASCII by default and worked (but I was transfering in ASCII all the time!)

Now Everything is all right and I just need to customize de DB.

Thanks for the hint
