Optional Steps

If you would like to have access to MailBeez core files & tables from other pages you need to add the following global DataBase and Filename definitions:

admin/includes/database_tables.php

add e.g. at the end

define('TABLE_MAILBEEZ_TRACKING', 'mailbeez_tracking');define('TABLE_MAILBEEZ_BLOCK', 'mailbeez_block');

do the same for your catalog:

includes/database_tables.php

add

define('TABLE_MAILBEEZ_TRACKING', 'mailbeez_tracking');define('TABLE_MAILBEEZ_BLOCK', 'mailbeez_block');

Add the filename definition

located and open the file

admin/includes/filenames.php

add e.g. at the end

define('FILENAME_MAILBEEZ', 'mailbeez.php');define('FILENAME_HIVE', 'mailhive.php');
