Web applications generated by PHPRunner, ASPRunner.NET or ASPRunnerPro communicate with databases via means of SQL queries. Whenever you search, edit or delete data your web application issues a series of SQL queries, gets results back and displays it on the web page. Understanding the basics of SQL will help you build better apps and find errors faster.

Our code generators come will handy option to display all SQL queries application executes. For this purpose you can add the following line of code to AfterApplicationInitialized event:

MassMailer template v2 was updated. This is a free upgrade for existing MassMailer template v2 owners. More info.

MassMailer template can be used for more than just sending bulk emails. Lets consider the case where you manage a table with usernames and passwords for your internal company application. For increased security users should change passwords every 60 days. As an administrator you need to perform two standard tasks:

  1. Set reminders to users when their password is about to expire
  2. Mark their account as inactive when password expires

We’ll show how this can be done with the help of MassMailer template. In this example we’ll be using MySQL and here is how our table with logins and passwords looks. Only users where ‘active’ field equals 1 are able to logon.

PHPRunner/ASPRunnerPro/ASPRunner.NET have a couple of handy events that allow you execute your own code after record was added or edited in inline or in popup mode. For instance, you may want to change some fields appearance based on new data modified or redirect user to view page after record was added in popup mode.

1. Change text color and background color after Inline Add/Edit

To do so add the following code to List page: Javascript OnLoad event.

function funcAfter(fieldsData) {
    for (f in fieldsData) {
        var field = fieldsData[f];
        if (field.name == 'status') {
            if (field.value == 'Pending') {
                field.container.closest('td').css('background', 'red');
                field.container.closest('td').css('color', 'white');
            } else if (field.value == 'Active') {
                field.container.closest('td').css('background', 'orange');
                field.container.closest('td').css('color', 'darkblue');
            }
        }
    }
}
this.on('afterInlineEdit', funcAfter);
this.on('afterInlineAdd', funcAfter);

In this event we evaluate the value of ‘status’ field and then change CSS properties of the cell when this field is located. To save the amount of coding we define the funcAfter function and make it run after both Inline Add and Edit.

This code will work without any changes in PHPRunner, ASPRunnerPro and ASPRunner.NET apps. Here is how it’s going to look.

Note: this code was updated and is compatible with version 10.x of PHPRunner, ASPRunner.NET and ASPRunnerPro.

We continue series of posts that show how to make you PHPRunner/ASPRunnerPro/ASPRunner.NET apps behave in Excel-like way. In this article we’ll show how you can speed-up data entry in inline mode eliminating the need to click ‘Inline Add’ and ‘Save’ buttons multiple times.
