Hi to everyone!

Is there anywhere an overview for available functions/tags for DBManSQL2.1.0 to use in the templates.

What I mean is something like:

---

<%Dbsql::HTML::generate_add_form%> ... Generates an Add-Form

<%Dbsql::Relation::HTML::generate_add_form%>... Does whatever

<%Dbsql::HTML::generate_modify_form%>......explanation

<%Dbsql::HTML::generate_add_success%>......explanation.

<%Dbsql::HTML::generate_delete_form%>...explanation

<%Dbsql::Relation::HTML::generate_search_results%>...explanation

<%Dbsql::HTML::generate_owner_info%>...explanation

<%Dbsql::Relation::HTML::generate_description('Author','AuthID','AuthName')%>...explanation



Links:

&do=search_results...explanation

&do=modify_search_form ...explanation

etc..

&keyword=*

etc.

do=view_file&cn=Picture&id=<%ID%> ...explanation

<%sdb%>...explanation

<%enctype%>...explanation

<%db%>...explanation

<%msg%>...explanation

<%speedbar%>...explanation

<%session_id%>...explanation

etc.

I think this is missing to get work started quick after purchasing DBMan SQL!

Another thing just comes up to my mind:

It would be good if some kind of table would be available in the form:

SQL-Tag <=> So you can do it with DBMan SQL

Example:

Select FROM DB <=> db.cgi?db=DB

WHERE COLUMN=XXX <=> ?.......

WHERE COLUMN1=X1 AND COLUMN2=X2 <=> ....

WHERE COLUMN1=X1 AND COLUMN2=X2 <=> ....

ORDER BY XXX ASC/DESC <=> ....

and so on.

Hi Manu,

I think the improvements of the DBMan SQL documentation you are suggesting would be a very good think to do for this new year 2003. I agree that the user now has too much to figure out for him-/herself and that it is hard to customize DBMan SQL for more advanced applications.

Same here. I guess the difference with the other GT packages is, that DBMan SQL is so general that it needs a lot of customization for everyone who uses it. Other packages, like links SQL, can be used out of the box. Could it be that GT didn't completely realize this when they decided to build it (I know I didn't, when i bought it ).

For I'm thinking that GT would not come out with a useable code/tag-instruction for DBMan SQL soon (see how busy they are with community-plugin) I thought about creating a tag-reference-thread within this forum where everyone could post what he/she found out.

Some of the stuff you can derive from the GT library documentation and some of it you can figure out by reading the source code. In general I have found this to be true:

Dbsql::HTML::func

Where Dbsql is the directory Dbsql.

Where HTML is the file name where the functions reside.

Where func is the function name within the preceding filename.

That solves some of your questions but YES! I do agree a good description of functions and shorthand would be very nice, e.g. pk, sdb, and q?
