Hi Marko,

Please turn off php magic_quotes. How to turn it off depends on your hosting service. In most web sites, you can turn it off in .htaccess. In others, you may have to turn it off in ... Read More

Hello,
Nice scripts..
I m not a techie person.Please tell me how can i use this script on my local desktop PC to maintain Addressbook.

To run the script, you need to have a web server and PHP installed in your compuer. You can install them using something like XAMPP ( http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html )

Hi,
Is it possible to avoid duplication?ie. if i m entering new record,will it warn me "The Record Already Exists"

Sorry, it doesn't have the feature.

Thanks much.

You are welcome :)

Aloha,
Great program. I followed your steps for 'Changing the default sorting order' but I hoped for something else. Can the contacts list be initially sorted by last name, a to z instead of ... Read More

Yes, that's exactly what the default sorting order is meant for. Please use last_name ASC.

Hi Tom,

export to CSV file (with filter option) is most useful for us, could you please let us know when can we download it?
Many thank!

Hi Keith,

Well, I can't say when but I really like the idea. It'll be definitely implemented in a future version.

I really like option with small comment under every option and reset cookie. Only thing, that I miss here is multiple choice.
Is there any chance in Ayax Poll Script to add this comments bellow every ... Read More

Yes, you can. Just write the comments in the template.

Hi Tom

is it possible to change date format? We are using dd/mm/yyyy.
thx
Erwin

Hi Erwin,

If you would like to change the output format of dates, you can edit the XA_FORMAT line in web/codelib/asc/df.fl.(table-name).inc.php

XA_FORMAT=>'Y-m-d',

For input, it currently only ... Read More

Thank you Tom. Excellent small application, very useful. Can I donate ?

You are welcome :)

I have a date field that can be searched in the detail page, while i would like to search for a period of time , instead of only search by one single day.

Is there a way I can solve it?

I don't know this helps but you can edit the XA_SEARCH_OP line in web/codelib/asc/df.fl.(table-name).inc.php to change the search operator.
For example,

XA_SEARCH_OP=>'s>=',

Can you tell me, how can I change to multichoice option this Ajax Poll DX?

Hi Bojan,
Ajax Poll DX doesn't have the multiple choice feature. Use "Ajax Poll Script" or "Ajax Poll Admin"

works like a charm using my other hosting acct. The issue is at my end for sure.
Thanks again for your time,
Ed

If there were any errors, They would be displayed.

Well, in php.ini, you can define which types of errors should be outputted to browser, so error reporting is not a simple on and off switch.

Hi,
I just installed your script without issue but get a blank page when going to staff/index.php. Could this be a file permission issue?

Hi Ed,

You got some errors but it was not shown in your browser. The reason why you got a blank page is because your web server is configured not to show error messages in the browser. Most likely, ... Read More

Sorry for all the questions. As a continuation of my first question, how would I change the order of the main navigation menu and make it say something other than About?

To change the order of menu items, please edit web/staff/include/df.top_menu.inc.php.
To change string resources, edit web/codelib/cfg/res.eng.app.inc.php.

Thanks Tom. I can work with that. This is a great script.
I was also wondering if there is a way to allow a member to log in and update their own entry but not anyone else's. I am guessing that ... Read More

Tom,
If i want to change those checkbox field to be ("Y", and "blank") instead of ("y", "n") . what file should I amend?

Thanks a lot!

The php class for checkboxes is CVCheckBox in /web/codelib/sys/CVField.inc.php. It's never been tested for changing the values for the "true" and "false" states, so do it at your own risk!

HI Sir,
How I can set session timeout in address book?

Best regards,
PETCHY

Hi Petchy,

The script does not specify session timeout. It implicitly uses the timeout defined by php.ini ( or some other method you are using systemwide. )

hello tom, I tried to do as told, but it does not work, most likely I'm wrong. I opened the file cls_ps_ (- table-your-name-here -). Inc.php but it is not there, most likely this is what you call ... Read More

The error message does not seem to be related to cls_sys_base.inc.php.

And one more question: will this work with Ebay? Thank you.

I'm not sure what you really meant by ebay but as long as your customers pay through PayPal BuyNow button then, you can deliver your products to them.

Hi,
Thank you for this great script! Just one question: what should I do in order to make the script send my customer to a download page instead of sending him an email?

Hi Nick,

that's very weird. Try checkout simulator to see if you can recreate the problem. I suspect that something must have happened in the OS level and it messed up the path.

OK, the simplest solution is just use dropdown menu instead of readio buttons. If you have time, you can study how the "active" field is implemented to add radio buttons.

i would like to remove some of the fields and replace the fields with radio buttons how can i go about adding radio buttons . you can also email me at jason.kleinhans@gmail.com

OK, your version of MySQL is recent enough to accept UTF-8. Would you check the collation of the tables and database by phpMyAdmin? I suspect it's not set to utf8_general_ci.
