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