ASPRunnerPro General questions

 Bryan author

Hi there,
Just evaluating the latest features of ASPRunner / PHPRunner before buying - they're looking really good.
There's one thing I can't work out though...
Let's say i've got tables with the following structure:
Master

ID - AutoNumber

Desc
Details

ID - AutoNumber

MasterID

Detail
The link is betweek ID (Master) and MasterID (Detail)
Whenever I create my project, I get a menu on the left hand side with Master and Details tables available. I don't want this - a user should not be able to access Detail without selecting a Master record. Using an older version of ASPRunner, once i'd set the links between the two tables you could uncheck a box (can't remeber what it's called) to remove it from the menu. If there was only 1 table to be displayed, a menu wasn't created at all.
Can this still be done? I'm sure this is something very obvious, but I can't find it. Any help would be appreciated.
Keep up the good work.

Bryan,
please check Menu Editor(on the top toolbar on the Visual Editor tab).

You can add/edit/remove menu links in the Menu Editor directly.

Hi Jane,
Sorry, but removing the items in the menu editor still leaves a large empty box on the published page.
Using an older version of ASPRunner I could uncheck a box which would still include the table in the project, but would not create a menu item for it. In this version, if I uncheck anything to do with the table, the table gets dropped.
Furthermore, in the old version, if you only had one table to display (but had multiple tables included in your project), no menu page would be created and the index page would redirect to the LIST page.
Could you please provide a link to an older version of ASPRunner and I can confirm the tick box i'm talking about? I know it was located above the area where you set the Master / Detail relationships for each table (in the top right of the page), I just can't remember what it was called.
Thanks,

Bryan

Bryan,
I recommend you contact support@xlinesoft.com directly.
Also I suppose you have mixed Datasource tables and Visual Editor tabs.

Please check ASPRunnerPro Help --> Using ASPRunnerPro --> Visual Editor --> Menu Builder here:

Thanks Jane but I don't have a support contract at the moment. I'm evaluating which product best suits the needs of the new company I work for before purchasing (ASP, PHP, .Net).
Is there anyone else out there who can help? Forum members?
I'm pretty sure the tickbox was called "Create Menu Item for this table" and it appeared in the top right of page either page / step 2, 3 or 4 (where you can give the table name an alias to appear on the published page).
Using the menu builder, if you remove all but 1 table from the menu, a menu page is still created. Any list pages etc have this menu with a single table link on it. The old version did not do this - if only one table had "create menu item" ticked, menu.asp was not created and pages looked much better.
Jane, should this functionality not be available, could you please confirm I could download an older version of ASPRunner should I purchase it?
Thanks,

Bryan
