PHPRunner 8, ASPRunnerPro 9 and ASPRunner.NET 8 added an option to use multiple database connections in single project. This article explains how you can access data from multiple databases in your events.
Some web applications like forum or Q&A website may benefit from the list of active users displayed somewhere on the page. In this article we’ll show how to add such functionality to PHPRunner application. ASPRunnerPro/ASPRunner.NET code to follow.
We need to remember that sometimes in web application we can not determine if user is still active or left his computer or even closed his browser. What we actually going to do is to find the list of users that performed some action on the website in last 10 minutes.
We assume that login table is named users and username field is username. We are going to add one more datetime field to the login table named lastaccess.
PHPRunner 8.0/ASPRunnerPro 9.0/ASPRunner.NET 8.0 are here. Purchase info and download links.

PHPRunner 6.2 and ASPRunnerPro 7.2 add an exciting new feature – custom edit controls. You are longer limited by stock Edit controls that come with the software. And the best of all, creating new Edit controls is not complicated and we’ll show how this can be done.

For this purpose we are going to use jQuery password strength plugin developed by Olivier Oechsle. Make sure to check plugin page if you are interested in internal workings or fancy to improve it.
