menu_db - Database-driven menu system

Configuration Other languages

I took some doing but I finally consider my script ready for public consumption, here’s a rundown of what it does:

  • generates menus from MySQL database
  • executes programs stored in the database via unique ID for popularity tracking
  • usable outside of FVWM for program popularity tracking
  • allows dynamic menu entries based on popularity
  • supports pipe menus as well as static entries
  • global popularity menu with user-defined size

Here’s a screenshot to give you some idea, everything shown is generated by the database:

And finally a download link:

I’ve included a comprehensive manual for getting up and running, as well as an example .sql file to help you set up your database. Enjoy!

Anywhoo, really nice looking thingie this, does it work on postgresql?

Should do, just change mysql to pg on the next-to-bottom line. I think the rest of it works for both (execute, prepare, fetchrow_hashref) but I don’t actually have postgresql to test it. I’ll install it and let you know.
