Re: [void] VB Schemes? External MySql DB connection? Integration?
Yes, CMS Builder lets you generate code for "list viewers" and "page viewers". Where the "list viewer" shows the list of records with paging and the "page viewer" shows one specific record.
You'd have to do some experimenting but I think basically all you'd need to do to use the VB tables in the viewers is set the tablename to your VB table and clear the table_prefix. In your viewer code you'll see a line like this:
$options['tableName'] = 'news';
Replace that with this:
$TABLE_PREFIX = "";
$options['tableName'] = 'nameOfYourVBTable';
And it should work just fine. That assumes all the tables are in the same database. If they're not you'd just need to connect to the other database with one line first.
>And can the menu items be hierarchical? There's a few workarounds in the forum but there's no built in support for hierarchical records or subcategories yet.
Hope that helps, any other questions just let me know.
