PHPRunner General questions

Sorry if this has been asked this way and I just couldn't find it, but has anyone ever put together a tutorial one could do from start to finish that would go over most of the most important points of using phprunner? This would be great as it would allow one to touch everything once and learn good principles to database setup in a controlled environment.
I've been watching the tutorials, and enjoyed the multi-table video but wished it was longer. I'm still wrapping my head around using multiple tables and multiple primary keys in a table to unique the rows. Love to go through an example like that.
Also, does phprunner still support smarty templates? That would be a great part of a tutorial too. Making a template or using a smarty template!
Thanks and if anyone knows of such as beasty, you'd make my day!
thanks very much
Frank

Thanks for the reply, but I've seen the tutorials on the site. Like I initially mentioned, I wish I could see a somewhat complex project from start to finish. I'd even help putting it together, if I could get just a bit of hand holding. I'm really interested in getting this to work as it seems that phprunner looks like a pretty good tool.
I'm sure if I fooled with it enough, I'd figure it out, but that's like hitting ones self with a stick.
Thanks
Frank

Frank,
I recommend you to have a look at the PHPRunenr live demos:

All these demos created with PHPRunner. Also you can download PHPRunner projects for these demos and run it on your machine.

Thanks Jane for the reply. I did also peek at the live demos but did not download them and take a look at what was behind the curtain.
Maybe someone can help with a particular problem. To simplify the problem, lets say I have these tables:
People_table:

peopleID - primary key

firstName

lastName

addressID
Address_table:

addressID - primary key

suite

streetNumber

streetName

city

state

zip
Now, with these tables, I would want to be able to create a page to input new people. But I would have the people connected to the address table via the addressID. Now, I would like the page to insert new people to have a dropdown box for the address that would filter out entries as I zero in on an address. But if there is no address for this new person, I could have a button, new address, and it would transfer the contents of the people fields to a new page and let me enter in the details for the new address and save the details in the correct tables.
This example, sucks, but it does illustrate something that I'm trying to do.

Hi,
I recommend you to set up addressID as Lookup wizard on the "Edit as" settingsdialog on the Visual Editor tab and use Add new values on the flyoption on this dialog.

To open this dialog double click on the field.
