Description

hi,

This question may be very simple - please bear with this newbie.
I downloaded tablemanager today and tried to install it. However I am having problems:
the 2nd step of INSTALL.txt requires tablemanager.mysql however I see that the download comes with
a tablemanager.install instead. How do I do the install?
I am running drupal 4.7.0

thanks for your patience.

Hiya!

Sorry that install file is left over from the 4.6 version when you did have to manually install the sql tables. With the 4.7 version the tables should be created automagically (a new word!) check your database for two tables; tablemanager and tablemanager_data. If they're both there then everything is fine and your issue is with something else. If not... Then open up tablemanager.install and create the tables manually using the sql provided for your database program.

thanks for your fast response.

I created the table by copying the first two mysql instructions (function tablemanager_install). But don't know how to add the updates. Can you please let me know how to do that?

thanks!

You don't need to apply the updates, they only occur if you previously had an older version of tablemanager installed. The sql you've imported *is* the current structure, so all should be well now.

thanks! It works now. I can create a table, add entries etc.

Another (unrelated) Q. How do I create/display barchart? I choose barchart as the data type and added entries but when I go to the table page, it shows as a table.

thanks!

It should be sufficient to simply do what you're doing? Is the bar.png file present in the /misc folder? Is it readable by the server (can you access it by going to http://www.yoursite.com/modules/tablemanager/misc/bar.png)

Thanks

oops - bar-red.png I mean... If you go into the settings it should list which colours you have in your misc directory... If it's blank, let me know and we'll sort that out.
