Alternative Help

Sunday, December 10th, 2006

An alternative method of displaying Help to that described in the Extensions - Help section, has been used in the Seller Info area. In this case:

  • The icon at images/misc/question_mark.gif is used to launch the Help.
  • A JavaScript function is attached to the onClick event.
  • The function win() is called to open show_help.php, with a sample syntax being “win(’show_help.php?a=102826&l=22′). L=22 means Australian English language.
  • The win() function simply opens a new window, displays the text from the referenced database field, and adds a close button for the window.

Manage What Where in MySQL

Tuesday, October 24th, 2006
  • Categories are managed in geodesic_classifieds_categories_languages
  • Field labels are managed in geodesic_pages_messages_languages
  • Mandatory registration data fields in geodesic_registration_configuration
  • Modules are managed in geodesic_pages

To modify field or category text through Navicat or another database client:

  1. Open the table to return all rows.
  2. Use the filter function to show records for the page_id of the page with the fields, and to only show records where the language_id equals 22 (Australian English).
  3. Modify the wording in the text memo field as required.
