IPS Pages - Data base

[PU13 0]

Hello dear communtiy, Im trying to create custom pages keeping the IPS Wrapper and using IPS Pages.

Well, one of them requieres of using an external data base, however, I don't know the basic command lines in IPS to make it works.

I would like to get a tip about how to establish a connection.

I have triied this one, but sadly it didn't work.

$connection = \IPS\Db::i( 'external', array(
    'sql_host'        => 'localhost',
    'sql_user'        => 'username',
    'sql_pass'        => 'password',
    'sql_database'    => 'database_name',
    'sql_port'        => 3306,
    'sql_socket'    => '/var/lib/mysql.sock',
    'sql_utf8mb4'    => true,
) );

Best regards.

wtf? i mean, using the Pages App on IPS, you dont need to do this

but, you could use the "conf_global.php" format

or

try with, (basic php stuff)

 

<?php
include("conf_global.php");
?>

<?php
require \IPS\ROOT_PATH . '/conf_global.php';
?>

this is what IPS use ^
