A have a simple question really. Is there a description of the DB tables and how they interconnect (primary , foreign keys etc ?)
If not how would i go about  making such a document available. I have started mapping it out and when I've finished this task it might be a useful thing to have available.

Well, make that two simple questions. The same also applies for the total program (starting with index.php to application_top.php andsoforth.)  I haven't started on exploring those yet.

Thanks again for your swift help. I had tried searching the forums for these answers but that gave me too many or the wrong results. I never thought of looking through the contributions , thinking that section was for add-ons and extra modules only (i.e. program extension.) I did not expect to find documentation there.  

Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction (again    ).

Yep...I actually contributed one of the packages you will find. Now you know that the contributions section contains MUCH more than just additional code. I just wish that more people knew this.

Did you find what you were looking for?

Thanks for the tip. Now I know, will explore that section more often.

I found the DB schema, it was very helpful thank you for taking the time.
Still looking for the overall program / file layout, but at least I'm not the only one :-)

here is a file-layout and data points, also what database entries are there.  I dont know if it really is clear on the database interaction or how much is there, i only looked at it for the file interactions.  I got all the info i needed from it, seems pretty complete.
