Where can I download additional database presets?

See Database presets for discussion links with presets for download.

How can I create a database in which students can only view their own entries?

Either:

Set up the database so that entries require approval. If the entries are never approved, then only the student that added a particular entry and the teachers can view it.

Or:

Set the group mode of the database to "Separate groups" and assign each student to a separate group.

How can I enable a sort function by clicking on the field headings?

For sorting, you need to manually create the link in the template around that heading. To find the URL you need, you can do a sort using the menus and then look in the URLs. Take out everything but the d, sort and order parameters. For example,

http://moodle.org/mod/data/view.php?d=13&sort=44&order=ASC

http://moodle.org/mod/data/view.php?d=13&sort=44&order=DESC

How can I add highlighting like on the Module and plugins page?

In the repeated part of the template (note onmouseover and onmouseout to change the classes):

<tr onmouseover="this.className='trhighlight'" onmouseout="this.className='trnormal'">
 <td class="c0"><b><a href="##MoreURL##">[[Name]]</a></b></td>
 <td class="c1">[[Type]]</td>
 <td class="c2">[[Requirement]]</td>
 <td class="c3">[[Status]]</td>
 <td class="c4">[[Summary]]</td>
 <td align="center" class="c5">##Edit## ##Delete## ##More## ##Approve## </td>
</tr>

In the CSS template there are two styles:

.trnormal td {
   background-color: #FFFFFF;
 }
 .trhighlight td {
   background-color: #EEEEEE;
 }

How can I delete a file attached to a database entry?

How can I hide a database entry which was previously approved?

There is currently no user interface for hiding a database entry which was previously approved i.e. setting it to require approval again. However, an entry can be hidden using MySQL Admin by editing it in the data_records table and changing the approved value from 1 to 0.

How can I add a default sort order of entries?

In the Fields tab, select a default sort field, choose ascending or descending then click the Save button.
