Marcello Barboni	Tuesday 25 May 2010 8:26:43 am Hello to all, I'm just starting with Exponential and I need some "conceptual" help to get started. What I am trying to accomplish is this: to have a page in the admin section where I can input data into a mysql database (name, address, email, and other stuff), and a page (read only) on the website where this data is displayed. As a second part of the project, I would like to add a google map on the same page in order to display the addresses extracted from the mysql db. I know how to do this using php / javascript, but i would like to integrate it into an Exponential site - and here I am totally lost. Can anyone give me a few pointers on where to start? Exponential seem an incredibly powerful system, but the complexity is a bit overwhelming for a newbie. Thank you very much, Marcello

Hello to all,

I'm just starting with Exponential and I need some "conceptual" help to get started.
