Hi,
I've just downloaded DBMan SQL 2.0.3 and am trying to understand how everything works. It's so different to DBMan SQL 1.0.1.
I would appreciate it if someone could answer the following questions -
1/ In the Sample database that is installed during setup I can't find where the error message "Column price cannot be left blank." comes from. I assumed that all the user messages can be changed in the User Language template but I can't find that particular message. Where can I find it if I want to change it and are there other user messages not in the User Language template?
2/ If I set up multiple language templates, how do users call up the different templates. I have read through a lot of GT posts (mainly Links SQL) and I think I understand how to set up multiple template sets but I don't know how to call them up. Does DBMan SQL 2.0.3 use page.cgi?
3/ When installing DBMan SQL 2.0.3 a lot of directories and files are installed. Which ones can I remove?? e.g homes, image_gallery, etc. DBMan SQL 1.0.1 only uses 3 or 4 files but it appears that DBMan SQL 2.0.3 relies on many many more. What files are actually required?
4/ How do you add categories to the Language template sets?
5/ Is it possible to translate the table contents into different languages? The table contents will always be in English but I want to translate the results that users see into different languages. E.g if the table field is "RED" I want the user to see "XXX" (RED in Japanese or another language). How would I set something like that up? I did it with DBMan SQL 1.0.1 using seperate language files that translated the table fields depending on the users language.
if (($in{'language'} eq "Japanese") {
$field_name="Japanese";
etc...
}
else {
$field_name="English";
etc.....
}
It then displayed the results to the user in their language.
Can DBMan SQL 2.0.3 do a similar thing using templates? If so, how?
I guess I will have more questions as I progress but would appreciate it if someone could help me with the above.
Thank you.
Simon.
