Hello,
I guess the possibility to get the totals for numeric fields on a vertical layout would be great.
...or not.
Just a suggestion.
Cheers!

Sieg,
while suggestion is nice personally I don't know where to put totals in vertical mode.
Btw, you can modify horizontal page in visual editor and keep your totals.

  • How about having a display data page (which will look like ..._list.asp page but without Edit-Delete-Add even search sections)?
  • To have search and advance search in different page
  • Automatically group the database and display in that order
  • To have seperate SMTP settings options, let say I might use the email system but I do not need to have login function.
  • More CSS options
    Thanks-

I don't know if he ASP version is the same as the PHP one but can't you put a table view and untick Edit-Delete-Add & search sections? you could do the same with the search and omit everything except the searches
I don't know if the group the database is the same thing I'm thinking of but I would like to see the tablelist at the side with folders, like a colapsable tree type view so I can organise the tables and views in a large project.

Kujox,
with support questions please contact me directly at support@xlinesoft.com.
I need to know what program and build you use.

Not a support question, just replying to swat about his display data page and the other bit was a feature request to organise the tables and views, the tables get lost in a database with over 100 tables and views

I will be very happy to see the reports component. It is something I need but have been unable to find anything suitable. I don't suppose you could move the timeframe up for reports? <img src='https://asprunner.com/forums/file.php?topicimage=1&fieldname=reply&id=14320&image=1&table=forumreplies' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':blink:' />

I need multiple master-detail relationships available on one detail file. In my example, an invoice lines file is linked to master tables for the workorder, the invoice, the parts table. The parts table has links on it to several detail lists: vendors, GL inventory/sales/expense accounts, Invoice Lines...
So in Step 3, where Master/Detail relationships are declared, I'd like to be able to have multiple relationships declared.
At the moment, I have to manually hack in these extra m/d links.

The ability to edit Labels on the Step 6 "Choose Fields" screen. You can do it with the mouse... but Windows standards require that ability without using a mouse or pointing device. I'd use the Excel standard of pressing F2 to activate the edit, using the arrow keys to steer to the correct Label

Last but not least...
Some of the child panels allow you to resize them to display all the windows contents, but don't respond to the double-click on the title bar. Also the area around the corner drag on some of them is not active as a draggable corner, although the "draggable" hashing is in the corner. See "Define user group permissions" as an example of where we need more space.
BTW, my current project is up to 515 files generated.

This is an FYI... in Firefox and IE, wherever you declare a <FORM> the rendering engines add some verticle space to the document.
I've needed to use all of the displayable space, and can't afford to have wasted blank rows from the random placement of <FORM> tokens.
My solution was to move the <FORM> statements to below the <Table> declaration, between a <TR> and a <TD>. That caused the rendering engines to ignore them for space's sake. Here's a bit more detail:
This generates one blank line...

FOO.htm:

....

<body...>

<form ...><input type='hidden'...

...

</form>

<table...>

<tr><td> ....


This doesn't:

FOO.htm

....

<body...>

<table...>

<tr>

<form ...><input type='hidden'...

...

</form><td> ....

The one feature that I would like to see added would be a system to easily create a log table with associated front end files and programming. Yes, there are ways to use before-event and after-event to accomplish this, but I feel this is a commonly needed task that many users could benefit from. I feel this would add substantial amount of additional commercial value to the program.

hi, is it possible to add an archiving function?
for example I have people coming for the workshop in jauary, february and march of 2007, however, I already had an entire 2006 jan to dec list of pepole.

I do not really want to have N number of databases, or tables, what I would like to have is an option to be able to archive all data from jan 2006 to dec 2006. will that be possible in the ASP runner 5?

I would like to see

  1. The ability to connect to several MDB files (i.e. Master LogIn table in Shared MDB by many applications), i.e. car dealer mdb file, realestate mdbfile, classified add mdb file, ... etc.
  2. Capturing field captions from the MDB file directly so that translations for other languages and meaningful captions rather than programatic Table-Field naming conventions.
    Keep up the good work. <img src='https://asprunner.com/forums/file.php?topicimage=1&fieldname=reply&id=15436&image=1&table=forumreplies' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' />

could you guys add this feature:
once we clicked FINISH button, and then subsequent SAVE, the ASPrunner exits.
could you guys add a feature so that it will NOT exit?

Mostly missing table(page)-detail-level events. At least some limited page components (buttons, dropboxes, radiobuttons etc.) to use for the events at the level of page components. Should not be too difficult... For ex., pressing button saves page and redirects to the same masterkey another page or hides some other components.

I use tabs for displaying large tables on a single screen size without scrolling. It would be very nice if this bit of javascript is implemented in the visual editor of a new phprunner version!

admin 4/2/2007

I would suggest to post suggestions in Suggestions forum so they won't be lost.

Can you share, please, how do you do that?
Thank you.

Sorry for the late answer, I just found the question!

You can use some free ajax tab scripts and integrate them in phprunner, for example the one from http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex17/tabcontent.htm. you can write the .js and .css files in the header.php page so you can use this feature on every page.

Be sure to mention the .js and .css in files.txt to store them in new output dierectories.
