Project Notice

"Please Note: This project is not associated with the original eZ Publish software or its original developer, eZ Systems."

sevenx_dse is an independent, 7x-driven extension for Exponential (100% eZ Publish Compatible). It embeds AdminNeo — a downstream fork of the original Adminer database tool — as a fully integrated module inside the legacy admin UI. The extension is stewarded by 7x (se7enx.com).

Project Status

sevenx_dse 1.0.x is the current stable release line.

The extension is under active development targeting Exponential Platform Legacy 6.x / eZ Publish 5.x with PHP 8.3+. Ongoing work focuses on:

• Stable embedding of AdminNeo 5.x inside the eZ Publish admin3 design
• Multi-driver support: MySQL/MariaDB, SQLite, PostgreSQL
• Session-safe gate and CSRF-protected database switching
• CSS isolation to prevent AdminNeo global styles from damaging eZ admin chrome
• Export/download passthrough without eZ template wrapping
• PHP 8.3 and 8.5 compatibility

Who is 7x

7x is the North American corporation driving the continued general use, support, development, hosting, and design of Exponential Platform Legacy Enterprise Open Source Content Management System.

7x has been in business supporting Exponential Platform website customers and projects for over 24 years. Previously before 2022, 7x was called Brookins Consulting.

7x offers:

• Hosting on the Exponential Platform cloud infrastructure (exponential.earth)
• Custom development, migrations, upgrades, and training
• Community stewardship via share.exponential.earth

What is sevenx_dse?

sevenx_dse is a direct database source editor for Exponential Platform Legacy. It embeds the full AdminNeo database UI as a native eZ Publish module, accessible at /dse/dashboard inside the eZ admin interface.

What Does sevenx_dse Provide?

• Raw SQL execution — run arbitrary queries against the live database
• Table browsing — browse, filter, sort, and paginate table rows
• Schema inspection — view table structure, indexes, foreign keys
• Data import/export — SQL dump, CSV, TSV export and import with direct download passthrough (no eZ template wrapping)
• Multi-driver support — MySQL/MariaDB, SQLite, PostgreSQL
• Safety gate — mandatory disclaimer + backup acknowledgement screen on every bare access
• CSRF-protected database switching — "Change database" link uses a per-session token
• Session-aware — preserves AdminNeo server sessions ($_SESSION['pwds']) across gate acknowledgement
• Permission-gated — access controlled by eZ Publish role policy (dse/dashboard)
• CSS-isolated — AdminNeo's global stylesheet rules are neutralised so they cannot damage eZ admin chrome
