      2. Yes, it only works in one way... You must save the file as CSV and then import it via baseportal > Database > Management...

      3. With the "Upload File" function (after selecting a page) you can upload pages from your local computer to your baseportal directory. Thats the purpose: Edit pages locally and then upload them...

    Running an application/program from BP html Page


      Is it possible to call an application on the local (user) machine (for example, Excel) using the BP (html) Page?

    Re: Running an application/program from BP html Page


      You cannot start an application from a HTML page directly (security reasons), but you can send a special Header which informs the browser that the page is not html but csv data instead and then it usually will open a matching application. This:

      <perl>
      $_header="Content-Disposition: filename=aa.csv\n";
      $_header.="Content-type: text/comma-separated-values\n\n";
      </perl>
      ....csv data...

      should open Excel on your computer and load the data you sent...

    Re: Running an application/program from BP html Page


      1. Yes, it worked: I could start Excel and load the .csv data posted where you have "...csv data..." above.
      2. However, after adding a few more entries to the database in Excel and SAVING, the BasePortal database is not updated. That sort of defeats the purpose.
      3. What is the function of the File Upload on this PAGE? Where does the file go after being uploaded?
