Re: FEA REQ: One .hdr, multiple .db's

texte = I have wanted to use different .hdr files for the same db before -- for example, so the field names could be different for different users and different sets of templates -- admin, member, visitor, etc. But I have never wanted to use the same .hdr file for multiple db's. It seems to be "not worth the effort". It's just too easy to do this by writing a simple admin template that will write one .hdr file to all the others and then flushdatabases to activate them. No matter how you do it, you're still going to have to identify the specific locations of all the .hdr files you want to update, so why bother to build this into the webcatalog engine's code when it can be done in an admin template in about 10 minutes? -- Sincerely, Kenneth Grome ------------------------------------------------------------- Outsource your WebDNA programming for $18 an hour or less! ------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
