Admin items
At the entry point you are asked for the username and password of your root or admin account. Normally this account is given to you from your system or mysql administrator.
Then your will see the main window where you can do all the necessary administration actions for your reservation system.
If you are logging on the first time please check first the section about the admin-file.
You have the option of the following actions:
The related actions and menues are described in the following.
Manage Database
Normally the database is setup by your mysql administrator. If not, you can use the commands described below.
You can do things here:
- Create a new database, this option is always available
- Delete an existing database, for that item you have to select the database first.
If you still have users on that database, this command is denied and you are given the information to delete the users for this database first.
Manage Desks
Here you can create, edit and delete the desks of your restaurant. Only the two parameters "Tisch-Nummer" and "Plätze" are necessary.
Query Reservations
In that menu you can query all Reservations for e.g. viewing or deletion. You only have to give the parameters that you are interested in.
Configuration File
There exists an config file for the administration called "admin.ini". This must locate in the same directory as the PHP files for the administration.
The file format is one parameter set per line. Between the parameter name, the "="-sign and the parameter-value can be white spaces.
The parameters are case-insensitive, but be aware that URL ARE case-sensitive.
The following parameters are actually defined:
- Hostname, possible values: a hostname for accessing the mysql db, normally this will always be "localhost"
- Database, name of the database, if this property is set, this database is directly set and no "show databases" command is issued.
