Hi

first thx for the program it really rocks to say the very least.
I have decided, that basic configuration of my server will be build on dataface framework ( mail, ftp, dns, mysql ), but since I have little to none expirience with php programing I would like to know how is the best way to put menu between dataface instances in “global_header.html” template. Basically I will configure dataface for every service(mail, ftp,..) separately, but I would like to be able to access those instances through menu placed in “global_header.html” template.
Is there any easy way to do this ?

regards

I would suggest using a single Dataface instance for all of your applications.Ê Your applications can be in separate directories, but use the same dataface instance.
Then you can modify templates in the Dataface/templates directory that you want to be common to all applications.Ê And you can override templates in the individual application folders that you want to be specific to an application.
