OK, here is what you do:
But first let me say this. I may not be able to reply to problems if any, as my knowledge of programming/perl is limited. I just downloaded DBMan a couple of days ago and don't know much about it. So, rule # 1 - backup your files and data.
1. In db.cgi
(a) in sub main add this ####### mod for long display
elsif ($in{'view_record_details'}) { if ($per_view) { &view_record_details; } else { &html_unauth; } }
####### end mod
(b) add the following below, sub view_records sub view_record_details {
# --------------------------------------------------------
# This is called when a user is searching the database for
# viewing. All the work is done in query() and the routines just
# checks to see if the search was successful or not and returns
# the user to the appropriate page.
my ($status, @hits) = &query("view");
if ($status eq "ok") {
&html_view_success_detailed(@hits);
}
else {
&html_view_failure($status);
}
}
2. Now in dbm_templates_html_pl
(a) add this line in sub html_record detailed_url => "$db_script_link_url&ww=on&view_record_details=1&$db_key=$rec{$db_key}",
(b) add the following sub below the above sub sub html_record_details { #done
# --------------------------------------------------------
# How a record will be displayed. This is used primarily in
# returning search results and how it is formatted. The record to
# be displayed will be in the %rec hash.
my (%rec) = @_; # Load any defaults to put in the VALUE field.
($db_auto_generate and print &build_html_record(%rec) and return);
my $font_color = 'Font face="arial" Size=-1';
my $font = 'Font face="arial" Size=-1';
$html_record_data = &load_template ('html_record_details.html', {
permissions => $permissions,
html_header => $html_header,
html_footer => $html_footer,
font_title => $font_title,
html_title => $html_title,
db_script_url => $db_script_url,
db_setup => $db_setup,
db_uid => $db_uid,
db_userid => $db_userid,
in_userid => $in{'userid'},
in_pw => $in{'pw'},
%rec,
%globals
});
return ($html_record_data);
}
(c). Copy the sub html_view_success and paste below the above sub and then name it as
sub html_view_success_detailed
(d). Find this line $view_success_N_html_record .= &html_record (&array_to_hash($_, @hits));
and replace it with $view_success_N_html_record .= &html_record_details (&array_to_hash($_, @hits));
4. Create a duplicate of templates (a). view_success.html and name it view_success_details.html
(b). html_record.html and name it html_record_details.html (this is your long format and so adjust your html output here)
(c). go back to html_record.html and leave only the necessary info for short format display and then delete the rest.
(d). add this line in html_record.html anywhere <A HREF="<%detailed_url%>">Record Details</A>
That should be it, let me know if you have any problems and whether or not it worked.
jdulberg,
Your site looks nice. I was looking for your implementation of DBMan, but could not find it.
