There are many ways to configure and style dashboards in version 10.8. This is just one of them.
So you want to know how much time users spend on any specific page of your web application? This article explains how to log what pages your users visit and how much time they spend on each page. This kind of data can provide valuable insight into what forms of your application are too complicated and need to be split into several smaller forms. Or if they keep coming back to the welcome page this may mean your navigation inside the app can be improved.
Task – implement custom grid display in PHPRunner or ASPRunner.NET applications on mobile screens. The idea is to use the same HTML and achieve our goal using CSS only.
CSS Grid layout is nothing new and excellent tutorials are available on the web for those who want to learn more. In this article we will only cover all the relevant details to PHPRunner and ASPRunner.NET.
In this article, we will be using our Forum template as an example of using CSS Grid Layout.
Here is where we start. Just a regular desktop grid with all database fields occupying their own cell.
This is an example of work we did for one of our clients. This kind of approach will work with any AnyChart chart that PHPRunner and ASPRunner.NET do not support directly. Here is how you can approach this kind of task.
A Scatter chart is a graph that represents the relationship between two variables in a data set. Normally data is stored in the database as a set of (x,y) pairs. Here is the end result our client was looking for.
The main difference no-code and low-code applications is that you can easily extend low-code applications by adding your own code. This gives you both power and responsibility and we are going to talk about some typical mistakes people do while adding their own code.
Let me show you an example of the code one our clients were using in BeforeLogin event:
Can you tell what is wrong here? If not, keep reading.
When you build a public-facing application you need to make sure it looks sharp. In this article, we’ll show you a few ideas of how you can make PHPRunner and ASPRunner.NET projects look unique.
Let’s start with the grid on the List page. As an example, we will be using a recently updated News template that comes with PHPRunner and ASPRunner.NET. We want to draw attention to the very first element, making it bigger than others.
Welcome to DevQuest! We have built a little quest that is both fun and educational and dedicated to the topic of web development. There are eight questions total. Most of them are quite simple but some will require a bit of thinking. All of these questions can be answered with the help of your web browser and developer tools. We recommend using Google Chrome and Chrome Developer Tools but other browsers offer similar functionality.
You would need to view the page source, use Javascript console, use the Network tab in Developer Tools, use colorpicker etc. Your web browser is all you need.
Version 10.7 of PHPRunner and ASPRunner.NET is here!
If you purchased PHPRunner or ASPRunner.NET less than 12 months ago, proceed to the control panel and download the registered version 10.7 there under ‘My purchases’. Use ‘Reg info’ link next to your latest purchase.
This new version features the following improvements:
1. Files upload to cloud providers: Google Drive, OneDrive, Amazon S3, Dropbox
2. Notification API
Let’s dig into new functionality.
When you set ‘Edit as’ type of the field to File/Image you now have an option to choose one of the cloud storage options.
Let’s say you need to provide users temporary access to your application. You create a user, set their access to ‘temporary’ and after 24 hours they should not be able to log on to your application. And, of course, you need this to happen automatically. 1. Add two more fields to the login table. access – varchar(50). This field will store values like “temporary” or “inactive”. It can be left empty for existing users. temporary_access_starts – datetime. Indicates when the temporary access starts. 2. Add…Continue Reading “Providing temporary access to your application”
In this article, we’ll show you how to retrieve a list of files from Google Drive via REST API and display those files in your PHPRunner or ASPRunner.NET application. This is how it looks in the generated application. The list of files is retrieved from Google Drive and displayed in your own application. In this test app, we only implemented search and view functionality, but adding and deleting files can be done as well.
