No-code Formula Fields, 11 New Visual Themes, Enhanced Form Configurator & More—DaDaBIK 12.4 is Here!

Posted by Eugenio on 22 Nov 2024

Dear users,
things are moving fast. DaDaBIK 12.4 has been released, packed with powerful new features and improvements.

No-code Formula Fields

Write formulas directly in the form configurator using an intuitive syntax like:

({price} - {discount}) * 1.22

Fields are automatically calculated, just like with calculated fields, but without custom coding.

New Layout and Design Settings

From the admin area, you can now:

1) Upload a custom logo
2) Choose your favorite font
3) Select from 12 Visual Themes—or customize your own theme for a unique look

Improved Form Configurator

Adding options is now easier than ever with a user-friendly interface—no separators required. Just drag & drop to sort elements.

Automatic Relationship Discovery

DaDaBIK now intelligently detects relationships between tables and fields during installation or when adding tables/fields. For example:
If you have products.brand_id and a brands table with a primary key id, DaDaBIK will automatically set products.brand_id as a lookup field.
Before, this was only done using referential integrity constraints (still used) and only on MySQL.

...And More!

This release includes 10+ additional features, many inspired by the Feature Suggestions forum, two of them sponsored by customers:

1) Cascade dropdowns in search forms
2) Conditional fields enabled for details pages, list views, and PDFs

We’ve also fixed several bugs, including security issues.

Two-Factor Authentication is available + PHP 8.3 is now officially supported. V 12.3 is out

Posted by Eugenio on 12 Sep 2024

Dear users,
The new V 12.3 of DaDaBIK introduces Two-Factor Authentication.

By default, it is disabled. Admins can enable it individually for each user. When enabled, after verifying their email and password, the user must provide a verification code generated by Google Authenticator or any other app compatible with the TOTP algorithm.

Check the new chapter of the documentation for additional details.

PHP 8.3 is now officially supported by DaDaBIK. You need ioncube loader V 13.3.x (which probably already is — if you are using PHP 8.3 — the loader installed).

As usual, for the complete list of new features and fixes, check the change log.

You can buy your new license here.

You can upgrade your existing license (for free, if you are in your free upgrade period or you have an active subscription) here.

Lastly, an important clarification regarding the previous version (12.2, released on July 25, 2024): it has come to my attention that the MD5 hashes of the files sent via email were incorrect. Please disregard those, you can find the correct hashes here: https://dadabik.com/md5.txt

V 12.2 is out: the new "camera" field type, text preview on grid & more + Thanks for your support!

Posted by Eugenio on 25 Jul 2024

Dear users,
First and foremost, thank you for your incredible support! Our launch on Product Hunt has generated 34 upvotes, 35 comments, and 6 reviews. I believe this is a great outcome, and the positive feedback has given me renewed energy to continue growing DaDaBIK.

Unfortunately we didn't make it to be featured on the homepage of PH the day of the launch, but we almost did, we were very close.

After the launch, I received several offers from individuals (not DaDaBIK users, but I guess people who monitor Product Hunt launches) proposing to sell "upvote generation services." It's sad to see such practices, and it makes me wonder about the authenticity of upvotes on the platform. However, I'm very glad that the comments, upvotes, and reviews DaDaBIK received are from people who genuinely wanted to support our project!

Now, let's get to the news of the day: DaDaBIK version 12.2 is now available. This update includes a new field type, "camera" introduced thanks to one of our customer, who sponsored its development. This field type works similarly to image_file, but with compatible devices (typically smartphones), it allows the device's camera to open directly when the user clicks on "select file" . A configuration parameter, $camera_capture_value, lets you choose between the front or back camera. Read documentation (chapter "How to manage uploaded file") for further details and corner cases.

We've also implemented a long-awaited improvement: a new parameter in the admin > layout section, "Max length results grid". This allows you to set the maximum number of characters displayed in the results grid for textarea fields (excluding HTML fields). For example, if you specify a number like 150, only the first 150 characters of longer texts will be shown, followed by an ellipsis (...).

Please note that online demo still run V 12.1, they will be updated during the next few days.

As usual, for the complete list of new features and fixes, check the change log.

Reminder: The special coupon code for our Product Hunt launch (DADAHUNT) is still valid for a few more days. Use it to get a 20% discount on any DaDaBIK license, including maintenance licenses.

You can buy your new license here.

You can upgrade your existing license (for free, if you are in your free upgrade period or you have an active subscription) here.

Thank you once again for your continued support!

DaDaBIK low-code no-code V 12.1 is out: fixes and improved LDAP authentication

Posted by Eugenio on 3 Jun 2024

Dear users,
DaDaBIK V 12.1 "Aveto" is out.

The main reason for releasing this minor version so soon after the publication of V 12.0 is to fix a bug about the new permissions manager and a bug about the new drag & drop menu items feature.

Especially the first fix is very important if in your application you have "edit: yes but disabled" fields so I recommend to upgrade and to read the change log for further information.

There are other minor bug fixes and also an improvement of the LDAP authentication, sponsored by one of our customers: you have now two new config parameters allowing to set a username/password pair to use for the first LDAP bind/authentication (so called "service account"), regardless of the username/password pair entered in the login form by the end user.

You can buy your new license here.

You can upgrade your existing license (for free, if you are in your free upgrade period or you have an active subscription) here.

Best,
