Master/details view

Posted by Eugenio on 28 Oct 2006

Hi,
I'm playing on the master/details view; this feature is useful for example if you want to display on the same page the header of an invoice and all its items.

It's not so easy to find a clean method to implement it but I feel I'm following the right way. I think I will add this feature in the next alpha or beta release (4.2?).

Your suggestions are welcome.

Bye,

DaDaBIK 4.1 beta released!

Posted by Eugenio on 25 Oct 2006

Hi all,
it has been a big effort this time but I'm proud to announce the new release of DaDaBIK, which adds a lot of new and important features that will increase the end-user usability.

Here is a list of the most important:

• Better form errors handling: if an error occurs when the user fills a form (e.g. an URL format is not correct), DaDaBIK will display again the form and point out the type of error.
  
  
• E-mail notices: DaDaBIK sends an e-mail message to some specified people when a new record is inserted or an existent record modified.
  
  
• Previous and next buttons are now available in edit and details views.
  
  
• Also the administration pages are now protected by authentication (if enabled); only administrator users can enter the administration pages.
  
  
• DaDaBIK now remembers the last search executed on a table, even if you change table.
  
  
• It is now possible to choose the number of result records displayed per page on the fly.
  
  
• It is now possible to set an alias for each table.
  
  
• DaDaBIK now uses tinymce 2.0.7 (http://tinymce.moxiecode.com) to implement the rich_editor field type instead of htmlarea. This leads to FireFox compatibily.
  
  
• Rows highlighting.
  
  
• Finnish language is now available.

What's happening and poll

Posted by Eugenio on 22 Sep 2006

Hi all,
I'm trying to perform some tests on Oracle before releasing 4.0 final.

While you are waiting for the new release please answer the poll I have put in the homepage; it's important for me to know the DBMS you use with DaDaBIK.

23/09 update: if you are an Oracle user and want to help during the test process please contact me: eugenio dot tacchini at unicatt dot it

Bye,

Eugenio.
