Step taken:

1) unpacked script in web directory
2) ran install
3) directory ‘xatak’ created with 3 files.

What is in the [_tables] section of your conf.ini?

That is the whole content of conf.ini ,which was generated.
I must mention that phpmyadmin shows this only and no other tables nor content;
Database- xatak
Table- dataface
Record - database_version

That’s the problem. You have no tables listed in the [_tables] section. Check out the manual installation instructions (in either the wiki or the getting started guide) for some samples of what the [_tables] section should look like.

Got it, thank you. I was under the impression that it will prompt for making a table. It’s working like a whistle.
One other question though, how can I make a front end only for surfers displaying the tables without editing rights.

For this, you need to define permissions. Simple read-only permissions can be done by adding a getPermissions() method to your application delegate class:

Code: Select all

function getPermissions($record){     return Dataface_PermissionsTool::READ_ONLY(); }

You should probably go through the getting started tutorial to help get your feet wet. It will give you a good overview of how to lay out your applications. Once you’ve finished that tutorial, then the rest of the documentation on the wiki (and notes in this forum) should make a lot more sense.
