texte = The list has been so slow lately, I thought I'd share a tidy little bit of code with the diehards still on board. This is a help system. Just customize for your DB path. On the page help.html, put the following: =========== [text]db=^path/to/help.db[/text] [showif [submit]=update] Updated. [replace db=[db]&eqhskudatarq=[hsku]][formvariables][name]=[url][value][/url]&[/formvariables][/replace] [/showif] Online Help

[convertchars][desc][/convertchars] [/founditems] [/search] [showif [ipaddress]=you.rIP.add.res]edit[/showif] ============== Here is the link going into it: (I put a javascript snippet on the link to make it open up as a small clean window, but left it out here for simplicity. Also, in this case, I favor meaningful English words for the hsku rather than numbers.) ============== Database: hskutitledesc =============== This is one of the simplest pieces of code I've written, and I like the way it automatically generates the new record. 1. Create link in your html page 2. Click link in browser 3. New record is created (if new) 4. Click 'edit' link on that page; type away. 5. Your IP address or other showif scheme will always show you the editing link. The usual permissions given... it's original code; feel free to use it; give me credit; don't resell it; I own copyright.
