If you use "Connect using PHP" connection method make sure you re-uploaded phprunner.php to the server. New version encrypts MySQL username/password while connecting to the server which requires an updated version of phprunner.php

Hello.
Do I have to purchase this now, as it was over 12 months ago when I purchased my last version, Do I have to pay full price, or is there a discounted price for it?
Thanks

Excellent Jane, Sergey and team.
Can I ask if there is a way to build menus under the admin area? Would be great to have a tick box to define if a group of menus is to be created under admin are or normal list view.
Thanks
Cheers

Wonderful result! Thanks. Is there a possibility to order links (on the list pages) automatically? What's the possibility of the chart preview feature back?
For some reason, I cannot open the project by clicking radio button (and some letters are cut) – I can do it from project menu only. I tried to use custom validation; the checker accepts it but wrong data entering is not restricted. Also, if I change the layout of one radio, all of them in the project are changed (no change in the properties).

Menu tab on Fields order and totals page is not there anymore. I tried to use the menu editor to sort the tables but could not manage it. Could you please restore the table sorting (ordering) somewhere before Visual Editor page? Thanks.

You can drag menu items to the place you want or delete them using the menu builder.

Is there "what's new" info somewhere with descriptions. The new version looks great and I would hate to miss some of the new features.
Also: I do understand that this is a Beta version, but is there a way to activate it already. It's just more productive to work on a project and use it to test. With the red letters above, we can't realy do it and might not pick up bugs. It seems from the replies that it is quite stable already so I'm willing to take the "risk" go with official projects already.
Thanks for your great work.

Stephan,
check first post in this thread with list of new features.
New registration keys will be sent to all eligible customers once final version is released.

M
mmponline 3/20/2009

When will we get the activation keys. I see I only have 4 days left...
Seems like the 5.1 version is quite stable with few posts on the forum about glitches. I will only realy know once I start using it on live projects as I could not up to now due to the message:

This website was created by evaluation version of PHPRunner.

This warning message will not appear on website created by a paid-for version of PHPRunner.


Hope to be on 5.1 soon, as especially the button navigation to pages is far more efficient.

This version requires new registration keys that will be sent to all eligible customers once final version is released. We expect final version to be ready at the end of March.


Are we any nearer? - I like what I saw but the beta has expired for me <img src='https://asprunner.com/forums/file.php?topicimage=1&fieldname=reply&id=39396&image=1&table=forumreplies' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':(' />

Some feedback -- I checked out the demo page for the time picker. I'm in firefox on a Fedora 10 desktop (patched up to date). It would show the time picker buttons showing up for a field (the 3rd) but yet they did not all disappear when I hovered over the 2nd field and the buttons from the 3rd did not disappear and so on. The screen became so cluttered up with buttons. That said, I like what I saw - now I just will need it to work properly. I target some of my phprunner apps to customers that run FF and Windoz w/FF and IE. But I dev and test lots from Linux and I WILL continue to do so. All this said -- I really do like this product and will be continuing with it - no doubt. I also like the support effort I see from the crew at xlinesoft! Keep up the great work!

KeithS,
sure, we'll take a look at this.
Could you send us a screenshot for reference purpose?

Well, build 1379 seems to work great. I noted a few items that could use some tweeking:
1: The visual editor need a "Menu Reset", just like "Page Reset", so that you don't have o reset the entire (Customized) page to update menu changes.
2: I hve used text at the top of my pages to denote special information about the page. I noted in the new release, that if I do this, or if I remove either the "Header" or "Footer" blocks from the visual editor, as soon as I save the project, the menu is trashed.
3: I have some pages which only have a couple of fields, and therefore are narrower than the screen. I normally set the "Tabe Width" value to 100%. On this latest version, if I do this, it also trashes the menu upon save.
I did note that the reports function appears to work properly now. Version 5.1 seems to be a LOT smoother, faster and has less crashes than 5.0 did. Great jobof "Polishing".

Well, I stumbled across a new quirk. It seems that if I set "Order By" at the SQL Query page, I can no longer do a save from the EDIT page associated with that table. If I remove the ORDER BY directive, the save function starts working again. When the problem is present and I try to save an edited record, I get a message stating that there is an error in my SQL query.

Hi,

just installed the PHPRunner 5.1 beta (build 1571), and created an new project from scratch.

But there seems to be something wrong with the security settings.
Both hardcoded and username password radio buttons are active when you click create login. And you can't unselect one of them.

So the only options that works when you upload to web is the hardcoded. and if you don't write anything in the hardcoded fields there opens a popup warning about password.

admin 4/7/2009

Bruze,
thanks, this was fixed in build 1586.
Maali,
this looks like incorrect username/password issue to me. I recommend to post your application to Demo Account (use 'Demo Account' button on the last screen in program). Then open a ticket at http://support.xlinesoft.com sending your Demo Account URL for investigation.

It written that build 1586 has fixed key column sorting on the list page issue. It's not the case for me. Key column is not sorted as it should on the list page...

Ask that this downloading file is PHPRunner Enterprise Edition or PHPRunner Professional Edition?
How do I find out PHPRunner Professional and the PHPRunner Enterprise Edition both's difference

J
Jane 4/14/2009

Enterprise edition includes all standard edition features and adds online report/chart builder. Report/chart builder integrates into generated application, supports all security modes, uses the same color scheme etc.
Online report/chart builder live demo:

Is the Enterprise version of the PHPRunner in beta yet? Are you expecting to release 5.1 and 5.1 Enterprise at the same time?

with 1745 all my issues seem to be gone so far
This looks really really good. I have not tried all, but what I have done works. Have converted 3 of my projects and the response i get from clients are good, so is my own feeling. Menu functions is really really good. Thanks for implementing the new window option.
Only one thing i am missing now. To let PHPR generate enpty pages fully integrated in the menu system and layout so i can edit them and make my own pages. That would eliminate the need for pages generated outside of PHPR and would be extremely elegant.
Anyway, PHPR 5.1 is a big step in the right direction. :-D

I experience the follow problems with the new built 1826:
The graphs don't show anymore (Error #1088)
On the editing screen, the buttons between the Design and Edit mode is a problem (Encountered an improper argument)
Thanks for enlarging the lookup fields, it looks much better. It will be nice if the sizes of Main Menu could also be extended.

The New Next and Back buttons are a nice feature but it does raise one question for me.
I am guessing that these do not save changes when clicked. My concern is my users will forget to hit save and hit next thus losing their changes.
Is there a way to modify the code so when the navigation buttons are hit it saves?
Or is there a way to add additional buttons that "save and next" and "back and next"?

admin 4/30/2009

hfg,
Next/Prev buttons are disabled on the Edit page once users starts changing any field.

To the development team:
When opening my application with the new version (5.1) the following things didn't worked properly:

  • Customizations (added columns and links) to the list pages disappeared.
  • In a similar fashion, customizations painstakingly made to print reports where reset when the project was opened on 5.1.
  • Some code snippets failed, I'm still investigating why.
  • Lost some formatting on main menu page.
    Other than that, the new version seems to be stable.
    I've owed you a list of possible improvements for some time, I apologize it took this long, but I wanted to have a good understanding of the features before making a suggestion.
    Anyway, here's what I believe would make the software better:
  • On the security features, it doesn't really makes sense that you cannot use queries (inner joins) to assign security permissions. The fact that you can only use primary tables, defeats the purpose and rules of normalized databases. In my case, I had to work around this by inserting PHP snippets on every list page to limit the recordset that each user can see or access. So far it has worked fine, but the programmer has to be very aware of what he/she's doing. Also, as the size of the project increases, the more chances to overlook something and provide unwanted access to users to data from other users. I believe this needs to be resolved if PHPRunner is to become a professional production application.
  • The visual editor tends in some cases (I don't know what exactly triggers this) to delete or disturb the layout of the page once customizations start to be made.
  • The help files have to be update to include a good description of the inner workings of the generated pages.
  • It will be ideal if the pages to be rebuilt can be selected by the programmer. Due to some persistence of data on the server cache, I've had to include some additional lines to the header and I've had to open every generated page and re-apply the modification them every time the project is rebuilt.
  • Also, it will be very helpful if the charts can be merged to report pages so charts can be displayed for groups of results. Once the database grows, it becomes a bit unpractical trying to display 3500 records on one chart. Charts need to be filtered, grouped and sorted somehow.
  • Finally, it would be great if blank pages (not necessarily linked to a table) could be created where the programmer chooses the exact layout of the data.
    I hope these suggestions make sense.
    Regards,

admin 5/5/2009

Hi, just a general question, how far away is the 5.2 beta please?

I have things to work on but i would like some of the new features in it incorporated in the new pages, so I am waiting.

Shall we see it before Christmas?
