Answers
a) Which are the various possible formats of date for the options? The whole of the combinations including/understanding the letters D, m and Y are accepted. For example: - d/m/Y: European format - Y/m/d: American format [ go up ]
b) How can I add a new language? To add a new language, start with you to return in the repertory "languages", there choose the file which you wish to translate ("francais.php "for example), then copy it in the same repertory by changing its name ("english.php" why not). It does not remain you any more that to translate the whole of the variables being there and the operation is finished. Return in the part "options" of the administration, a new language is from now on available. [ go up ]
c) In are the options of the administration to what used the fields "page to reload for the book of gold" and "variables passed in parameter"? - the field "page to be reloaded for the gold book" is used for the bonds of following page, of preceding page like for the search engine. If you modify the noun of the page of posting of the gold book (which is "index.php" by defect), you will have to modify this option. - the field "variables passed in parameter" enables you to add variables to be transferred when the gold book is reloaded (for the bonds preceding, following page...). That can be very useful if you use a call of the style "ma_page.php?page=livre_or" to post your gold book. In this case it will be enough for you to register "page=livreor" for the variables passed in parameter and "ma_page.php" for the page to be reloaded. [ go up ]

Caution : - do not forget to modify the skin in the course of use in the part "options" if you wish that the added skin either taken into account. - Certain parameters of the style "< mx:text id="action_url"/> "are very significant for total the correct operation of script. Do not remove any by error!... [ go up ]
