<\/a><\/p>\nHere is a typical Amsterdam layout List page. Note that the right block is empty. (image is clickable)<\/p>\n
<\/a> Containers are visual elements within the blocks. Each container has a border, background color and other properties. Containers are always stacked inside the block one under another.<\/p>\n On the pictur eabove\u00a0 the header block consists of two containers (buttons and search), left block has one container and the center block has four containers (buttons, message placeholder, grid and pagination).<\/p>\n Bricks are page elements that carry a certain functionality. Each container hasone or more bricks that are arranged either vertically or horizontally. A typical brick would be a search box, pagination control, the grid, CAPTCHA, “records found” etc.<\/p>\n Container 2 of the Header block contains four bricks: search, details found, pages, and records per page.<\/p>\n The purpose of new layouts is to simplify and improve the page modifications. This will allow the users to easily create their own templates as well as import existing templates such as Wordspress or Joomla themes. Layout structure doesn’t contain any HTML code- only\u00a0 blocks, containers and bricks definition.<\/p>\n Here is a standard Amsterdam layout page again.<\/p>\n Here is how this layout is represented in pseudocode.<\/p>\n A few notes:<\/p>\n Based on this pseudocode PHPRunner generates HTML files and uses it to build the pages. When you design a new layout you can either use the pseudocode or modify the HTML layout file.<\/p>\n As you can see, the layout modification becomes very straightforward. You can easily move any container or brick to another block. For instance, you can rename “beginblock left” to “beginblock right” to move the menu and the search panel to the right.<\/p>\n New version is going to introduce the Style Editor where you can modify the visual appearance of each layout element and instantly preview the results.\u00a0 Each style can be applied to any layout.<\/p>\n In this day and age not having a mobile version of your website should be considered a crime. We’ll be addressing this issue in PHPRunner 6\/ASPRunnerPro 7. There are still some unanswered questions like ‘should we generate a mobile version of the website automatically or there needs to be a separate project that uses mobile template’. We’ll keep you posted on the progress in this area.<\/p>\n We plan to extend the Enterprise Edition by adding a couple of heavily requested features:<\/p>\n – Active Directory integration. Dynamic permissions tied directly to AD. There will be other new features and improvements in this version as well.<\/p>\n One of them is intellisense in the Events Editor. For those who are not familiar with modern IDEs, intellisense is a convenient way to access the functions’ descriptions and variables. The Events Editor recognizes the functions and variables and will pop up the function description or the list of available variables to choose from.<\/p>\n Here are a few examples:<\/p>\n Data Access Layer, database field names<\/strong><\/p>\n PHP functions<\/strong><\/p>\n Javascript API functions<\/strong><\/p>\n Field names<\/strong><\/p>\n We have started the translation of PHPRunner\/ASPRunnerPro to other languages. If you are PHPRunner or ASPRunnerPro customer and willing to help us translate software into your language drop us a note at http:\/\/support.xlinesoft.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\nContainers<\/h3>\n
