In this article we will discuss how to minimize the amount of code that handles Javascript on Add/Edit pages. Making your code data-driven will help you easily manage forms with a huge numbers of fields.

2. Server-side PHP and C# code that passes this data to Javascript
3. Javascript code itself that listens to “change” event and implements the logic defined in the database.

In this article we will show how you can easily create a clickable code snippet in a dashboard. Our snippet will display a number of customers in Customers table and clicking anywhere in snippet area will take us to the Customers table in question.

In this article we will show how you can implement drag-n-drop between two dashboard elements. It makes more sense to drag and drop records between two grids. In this example we will be using two tables named orders and orders_archive.

Enable ‘AJAX search, pagination, sorting’ option on Pages -> List page settings dialogue. Add the following code to List page: Javascript OnLoad event of the page where…Continue Reading “Infinite scroll” →
