Database Connectivity - Live View |
|
To activate live view whilst editing: choose the "Live View" button from the editor toolbar. If you prefer to view your database pages whilst editing them, you can combine server maps with the new Live Data View to see the content of the database whilst you work. When you preview a page in ScriptWorx, you would normally not see live database views or any other for of server-side technologies at work. This no longer has to be the case, because you can now change to a "live" database view. Consider you have a file saved to C:\Site\data\viewer.cfm - this file has ColdFusion database code, which is normally ignored by the browser. You can "map" the directory above to a server address (eg. "http://mysite/data/viewer.cfm") so that when you click the internal "Preview" button, you will see the database in the preview. Using the Preferences window, click the "Server Mappings" option. Choose the "Add" button and enter the directory path in File Path, including a trailing backward slash, for example: C:\Site\data\ Now specify the address of the file on your web server, excluding the file name, such as "http://mysite/data/" - you must not include the quotes, but you must have a trailing forward slash now. When you click on "Preview" again, your file will be saved and you can view your database in realtime.
