hello all, I'm new to Dreamwever but trying to learn how to use it... I am creating an online forum and website...so far i have created the Database and am wondering if anyone knows of any tutorials that can help??

didn't think it would be so bad but need to get some help on it to get started..anything would be greatly appreciated :)
 
Your database will need a category table and a QnA table. Each category will require a unique id, then each question has a category field which is linked to the category table. After that its a simple matter of recordsets and insert/update behaviours.

Having said that there are so many forum kits available that most people nowadays just use one of them

i've created a table for forums with forum title & forum description

topics with topic_Id topic title, froum_title(foreign),creation dateime, username(foreign)

user: username(pk),email, Password.

Posts: Post_id(PK) topic_id}(foreign) username(foreign) Post_message creation dateTime.

this started as an idea for a personal project, then i managed to incorporate it into uni work (bad idea) then saw there wasn't any tutorials or anything and now am sort of stuck or else i would gladly download one..... :( .

just thought there'd be online help outthere.....haven't found anything yet though
