Adding extra columns/entries in manager.cgi
Posted on: February 28, 2000, 1:47 a.m.

By uploading text files to your server you can add as many extra fields to the main page of manager.cgi, the page shown directly after they log in and whenever they press the "home" link.

The new field will be automatically formatted like the fields that are already there by default.

To do this simply create a new directory inside your current Home Free data directory and name this dir manager No chmoding should be nessecary.

Next create a text file that will hold the html to place in the box. Name this new file manager_1.dat. If you want more than one, name your second file manager_2.dat then manager_3.dat and so on...

The actually html for the table is not needed, this will be added by Home Free during the output. The first line of the text file should be what you want for the header. This should not be more than a few words long. Everything else from line 2 on will be the body.. You may include html and links.

You also may want include specifics about the user in your text or links (like linking to another part of your website) Just add these tags in your mamager_X.dat file and they will be replaced with the user info.
