PHPRunner General questions
bbarker author I've spent the better part of the last four days trying to make some minor mods to the KM module. I'm not complaining, I'm just trying to get more clarity on how the process works. For example - 1) If I add an alias to the PROBLEM table, then it breaks the EDIT page. 2) If I modify the LIST page, then it doesn't work with the new fields. 3) I can't get the current version of the MENU page to update. QUESTION: Could you explain which files I can modify in order to make "what" changes so that they remain permanent? Example: A. Visual/Original/html for display. B. ??? for data or field names C: abc.PHPR for ?? backup? or inital seeding of previous parameters? or? D: Are there some variables that are hard-coded? It appears that the PROBLEM table is. If I change the name of this field, then the sub-table breaks. I've seen requests like this before... but it would be really nice to see a simple flow chart of how the processes run and which ones are the controlling files. If this already exists outside of the tutorial, then I'd appreciate a link. Thanks. PS. The page at http://www.xlinesoft.com/articles/template..._generation.htm goes a long ways towards helping... but we could use some additional info... For example: Is it okay to modify the PHPR file? Is that used to initiate the rebuild?

	Well, it's like most things... once you ask for help, you begin to help yourself. I've spent another 6 hours and got 2/3 of my issues resolved. I did this by 1) editing the phpr file, 2) using Visual Editor a lot and 3) by reading all of the tutorials again. While none of them gave me a smoking gun to my problems, they did contribute more to HOW the program (PHP Runner) works. Still some problems preventing me from going into production. For example: [indent]1) Guest user won't enable. Missing users_list.php 2) Table of "problems" doesn't show up on articles_list.php .[/indent] But, I did get the links to all of the PDF files to work. So it's exciting to see what "might be".
