Hi guys

I need some help with paFileDB. I would like to use paFileDB, to integrate a downloads db into my site, but is there anyway of removing the paFileDB headers etc so that i can just include the main downloads db UI in my current site design?

Thanks in advance

Not really, it has some odd mysql querys. You can't do a basic include, you need to do something like this instead:

code:

---

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,
"http://www.msgstuff.com/inc/meta.php");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

It also cannot use your ?id page links, it generates its own and will not work . I don't sugggest pafiledb, well at least not 3.5. I have a much simpler version you can use, it is better coded and more sercure. I will send it you, but I don't have the time to answer any questions on messenger, I have too much work tonight .

My website has an external admin panel which does allow editing of files etc. You can always add files via the database, but my coding relies on other parts of my panel. I really don't have the time to help you get a version to work for you. I have been busy and I will be really busy for about another three weeks none stop .

Edit: Don't use pafiledb 3.5. I don't allow it, it caused a major sercuity concern on my old hosting . You can use my version if you want to allow adding things via the database manually.

Abso/Dempsey: You guys are making no sense at all. What does e-mailing have to do with disconnecting servers and PaFileDB???

Wich version of PaFileDB are we talking about that had/caused that security flaw anyway?


On topic:
PaFileDB layout can be found in pafiledb.php, have a look at the header section...take it out, make your own and include it in pafiledb.php like so: <?php include("headerDB.htm"); ?>

Edit: asfor the images used in the templates have a look at the images in styles/<stylename you wish to use- default>/images folder. I might have forgotten some things and things might have changed (i use 3.1)..it's been a while since i installed PaFileDB.

Reading the codes in the main file (having a look around in other files never hurts either) helps aswell as reading the manual

Salem: Check your /skins/default/templates/ folder. You can edit the .tpl files there to get rid of whatever you want. Just be carefull to not remove too much so you don't break it .
