I see that if I create a Custom View based on a Table that it gives me all the Form Settings for variables and Column Headings displays, etc.
NICE FEATURE.
But, let's suppose I want to just use Custom Views based on all the settings I made for "Table Form_Doctors"
So I create one Custom View based on the table "form_doctors".
And I create a a second Custom View based on the table "form_doctors". PHPRunner creates copy of form_doctors & copy of form_doctors1"
2 questions:
- If I uncheck the table "form_doctors" and remove it from the project view and re-synch the tables how long will the PHPRunner phpr file HOLD on to all of the settings variables created with table "form_doctors"? I removed it once as a test and while the project was still open I was able to check "form_doctors", return it to the project and the settings variables for all pages were still intact. But, once I save and close the current project will I still be able to bring back any table that I have UnChecked and find that its previously set page values are still attached and will load?
What I want to do is to eliminate PHPRunner building pages unnecessarily for tables that I will not use because I have duplicated them in VIEWS.
But, I notice that I can only duplicate TABLES. I cannot duplicate VIEWS.
So, what if I want to keep a Table and all of its settings available for future duplication but I want to uncheck the table to keep it out of the Project Build process? Can I keep it indefinitely "in reserve" and just re-check it when I open the same project in the future and want to use it to make another View?
I know I can keep the table IN the project but not select any pages to be built -- but will that actually prevent page views from being processed or do they still get built but just not included for download?
- I wish PHPRunner had a separate editing window that would expose the SQL queries so that I could directly edit the SQL between two views to separate or modify some of their INSERT or EDIT functions.
What are the files I need to look at right away to directly edit those settings?
Also, If I do edit those will they be overwritten on the next build?
Thanks for considering all of this!
