PHPRunner 6/ASPRunnerPro 7 beta is almost there

News, PHP, PHP Code Generator, PHP Form Generator

For all those who are patiently waiting for a new version to be released – we will have PHPRunner 6/ASPRunnerPro 7 beta available July 12th-15th. We apologize for prolonged wait.

As you remember this new version features Style Editor, Mobile Template and easily customizable layouts. I’d love to present a few examples of interfaces customized in Style Editor (all images are clickable).

Edit page in style editor

Note buttons and panels shape, gradient backgrounds and different border types.

List page with vertical menu

Nice looking Edit page

List page with horizontal menu

This page looks nice however we want to create a new layout rearranging a few items on the page.Page structure is defined in list.ly file.

beginblock top
	begincontainer horizontal  style=2 1
 		brick masterinfo
	endcontainer	

    begincontainer horizontal  style=2 2
        brick left toplinks
        brick right loggedas
    endcontainer
	begincontainer horizontal style=hmenu hmenu
		brick hmenu
	endcontainer
endblock 

beginblock left
    begincontainer vertical style=3 4
		brick color2 vsearch1
        brick color1 vsearch2
        brick color2 vdetails_found
        brick color1 vpage_of
        brick color1 vrecsperpage
		brick searchpanel
   endcontainer 
endblock 

beginblock center
     begincontainer horizontal style=3 5
        brick left recordcontrols
    endcontainer 
    begincontainer horizontal style=2 6
       brick center message
    endcontainer
    begincontainer grid style=grid grid
        brick grid
    endcontainer
   begincontainer horizontal style=2 8
        brick center pagination
    endcontainer
endblock

If you want to read more about block, containers and bricks – check this article.

Lets say we need to move search panel and menu to the right side of the page, move search box to the top horizontal panel and display ‘Details found’ in its own container. For this purpose we create a copy of list.ly file that defines the list page structure the following way, copying and pasting containers definitions.

beginblock top
	begincontainer horizontal  style=2 1
 		brick masterinfo
	endcontainer	

    begincontainer horizontal  style=2 2
		brick left search
        brick left toplinks
        brick right loggedas
    endcontainer
endblock 

beginblock right
    begincontainer vertical style=3 3
		brick searchpanel
   endcontainer 
   	begincontainer vertical style=4 4
		brick vmenu
	endcontainer
endblock 

beginblock center
    begincontainer horizontal style=3 5
        brick left recordcontrols
    endcontainer 
	begincontainer horizontal style=3 6
	    brick color1 details_found
        brick color1 page_of
        brick color1 recsperpage
	endcontainer
    begincontainer horizontal style=2 7
       brick center message
    endcontainer
    begincontainer grid style=grid grid
        brick grid
    endcontainer
   begincontainer horizontal style=2 9
        brick center pagination
    endcontainer
endblock

And here is how new list page looks

  1. Awaiting in eager anticipation, especially mobile features. Keep up the great work and constant updates to PHP Runner.

  2. Although the built in style editor is nice for people without CSS skills, I would prefer to attach my own stylesheet, composed in my favorite CSS editor. But in order to do this, it would be necessary to eliminate all inline styles, all deprecated tag attributes and implement documented hooks (IDs, classes), to attach the styles. This is what prevents me of using PHPRunner for front end development. I know, that this was suggested before and I’m sorry, if I missed a comment of yours on this. But just wanted to mention it sponaneously as a feedback of your e-mail update.

  3. We are evaluating buy PHPRunner 5.x version but I think we will wait for version 6.x. Looks excellent.

  4. Its what I’ve been waiting for. It will greatly enhance my ability to sell by showing great looking websites.

    Will it be possible to save the new Styles and load for a different project?

    All The Best,

    Stuart

    BTW, from time-to-time I look to see if there are any other ASP generators out there that give me more layout flexibility. The answer is that there is nothing that comes close to ASPRunner and the new features will take it further away from anything else.

  5. Very Nice work!! I would like to use in my coming new project so be quick please :))

  6. It looks good Sergey, but will it have the same performance issues as 6.3.
    I cannot see anything that indicates that this has been addressed.

  7. Looking real promissing!

    We only (and always) expect the BEST from you guys!

    Keep up the GREAT work!

  8. Looks fantastic. Hope fixes are in store in additions to the aforementioned updates. I will have to agree with wheelers_hill that the performance from asprunner/phprunner is major issue.

    Can anyone a representative from Xlinesoft comment on this issue? Will this issue be address?

    The performance is atrocious.
    I have a page with with 20 fields, displaying only records and it takes about 20secs to display under normal conditions. During peak it can reach upwards to 60secs.

    I have tried many solutions and keep getting the same results. Not just with ASPRunner but with PHPRunner as well. I believe this is an application issues and not server related.

    If anyone have any other suggestions to try please let me know thank you.

    Thank you for your time.

  9. I like the information about changing the list.ly file. Is there a roadmap of what each files purpose is?

  10. Hi, is there a way to set up foreign keys? I´ve seen the software a long time ago and I didn´t find that option then, is it possible now?

    Thanks

  11. As always excelent work!!!
    The ASP Runer is best front designer in the market!!
    keep it up team….
    Congrats

  12. @Dave Na

    I can assure you, that the performance issue you are experiencing has nothing to do with PHPRunner (I can’t speak for ASPRunner, but I’m sure it’s not much different).

    I’m using PHPRunner on a database with 20+ fields and 70’000+ records and it is not much different than on other databases with only a few fields and maybe 100 records.

    While the code, generated by PHPRunner has a certain impact on performance, your web and MySQL server are the main bottlenecks here. I’m pretty sure, that if you install your database on a different server/database, you won’t have this issue. Try installing a local apache server with MySQL. There are pre-configured packages around (e.g. XAMPP) that let’s you have a server up and running within minutes.

    Once you have that, export your database from your existing server and import it into your local environment. You’ll see, that this will be as fast as expected.

  13. How can we participate in the beta?
    Has it started yet? I have not heard of any new information in regards to it.

  14. Today is 16th of July. I cant find any beta version of asp runner 7 available on internet. Can anybody help?

  15. It has not been released yet. They set a target date and obviously they ran in to some issues. I am sure Sergey will notify us when its released via email as usual.

    On a side note: I am hoping this fixes alot of the “slowness issues” in version 6.2 and 6.3 when using IIS6 (since IIS7+ you are able to change from MTA to STA and unable to in IIS6).

  16. Is there any officual info concerning a release for july.. I do not received any option. By the way, does someone knows if the report option will have to be upgrade…

  17. Hi All,

    We are eagerly waiting for the beta release of PHPrunner 6.

    I would like to participate in beta testing. How to participate in beta testing?

    Thanks

  18. Tested the beta. All i can say is – Great! I will renew the license for sure.

    Quick comments about the layout:

    1. The export all button is place on separate from “Export Selected”, “Edit Selected” buttons, why not put them together on one line. It easier for user to find it.

    2. Traditional Quick Search Bar could be below the buttons Bar.

    3. Record per page can be below the pagination.

  19. Is the mobile template going to be included with the new version/beta ? Looking to make a decision to design on my own or proceed with the next version.??

  20. Oophs jumped the gun ? I see the beta is out. Mobile still in the works. Also see this upgrade is available to asp customers with 6.3 . So 6.2 customers have to purchase full product . Is that correct . Wow customer since inception missed the 6.3 for few upgrades and now I have to buy the full product or am I missing something here. Just inquiring as when the mobile template comes out need to upgrade right away and last question as I have had this problem before . If you already have a previous version and you want to upgrade during beta to full version how do you upgrade during the beta period without having the beta written all over your generated pages? Can you purchase the upgrade during beta?

  21. Customize the Theme – it will be good to have a undo button.

    Good as we often want to try tweaking the settings to see how it looks like,
    AND we can always revert to previous settings if we want to.

  22. I’m, also, really hoping this beta will fix the performance problems
    on IIS6… couldn’t even get IIS7 working any better.
    The point of this post was to bring up.. AGAIN… the timeout
    issue when we try and export more then a few hundred records to excel.
    This is another on that we go round and round on, and
    the product out of the box doesn’t have any options to fix this.
    Remember that the reason we bought this product was becasue we are
    NOT programmers, but want to web enable our databases.
    So, can you work the export to excel timeout issue also !!
    Thanks.

  23. Excelente trabajo, ustedes siempre tienen muchas cosas buenas en cada versión que sacan!!, sigan así.
    Saludos desde Colombia.
