Database Content: Text View

This page shows the content of the database in a completely different format. Only two fields are shown, the "Guest_Name" and "Guest_Comment" fields, and the information is displayed like normal text, rather than listing them in separate columns in a formatted table, as on the previous page.

We created this page using dbdisplay, with a user-defined layout. This means the table produced by dbformat is switched off. Instead the dbformat contains a repeatable layout (Documentation): para in this case. para displays each record in an own paragraph. Inside the para dfield and dlink components are used to display fields and to create links.
