creating the first database

Hi, I have just downloaded JooDatabase, and in trying to create a database for the first time, your instructions say: "Add Menuentry - Add a JooDB-Catalog-view to your menus".
Can you please explain in simple steps what this means?

thanks
John

Joodb does not create database tables. Only if you import Excel spreadsheets .

It just displays tables and let you layout the catalog and single item view with a template engine.

Please take a look at the example database and add a menu entry (katalog view).

You can use this table #_joodb_sample and add fields using a tool like PHPMyadmin.

Is it possible to import other table structures into Joodb, and then visualise them? That is, ones that don't have the exact structure of the sample database you provided.
thanks

Can you tell me how I can display a simple table? The table is already in

the joomla database. In the example beow it has 10 rows. I wish to simply

display all the rows and columns.
When I look at your example database, I don't know what to change!
Also using that example it shows each row separately.
I just want to show the whole table! Can you tell me which parameters to set

to display this? It can't be difficult, but I really do not understand where

to start! Thanks!
