Impressed! Manual? Export Question

PHPRunner General questions

Hi. I've never seen anything like this (phprunner). My wife is doing some volunteer work and asked me do help her (I have 30+ programming/computer experience; but only recently started html/php/mysql/visual basic). I started researching and am I glad to a found you. Now I can help her without spending tons of time.
Anyways, I have some questions before committing to buy.

  1. Is there a manual/documentation file? --- I just found it --- thanks ---
  2. Is it possible to create custom export button? I'd like another export button besides "export results"? What I'd like to do is create "export for label". That button will only export certain fields vs "export results" exports all fields.
  3. Is it possible to create custom search button? I'd like to create "search expired" and it searches based on sql stmt i create.
  4. I set up a login page and set it so user can only edit own info. However, it seems all users are able to "add a new record". How can this be disabled except for admin?
  5. I can't find a "Save Project" menu anywhere. I made changes, added report etc, did a build (which I'd assume it saves the project at that time), and tried to upload (only changes)... it froze after it couldn't open an ftp connection. I couldn't do anything except abort the session. I went back in but all the changes were gone. Isn't there a way to save changes without exiting program?
  6. I've read in some forum topics regarding changing export.php etc. Do we have to redo the changes when a new revision is installed? If not, how does a new revision to export.php get integrated with the custom codes?
    Thank you.

I'd suggest to send pre-sales questions to support@xlinesoft.com.
Here are your answers.

  1. Manual is available by pressing Help button at any moment or by hitting F1 button on your keyboard.
  2. You can control what fields to export of "Choose fields" tab. If you like to export data in two different formats I suggest to create a custom view on the top of the same table and have another set of fields on the export page. After that you can use Visual Editor to insert a link to the second Export page.
  3. Yes, this is possible however more info is required.
  4. If you modify generated files all changes will go away after new version is installed. That's why we suggest to use Events and Visual Editor to make changes.

    Most probably you don't need to modify anything manually anyway.

Thanks, but it seems I was editing the question when you replied.
I'm glad to hear that phprunner can do those customizations. Do you think that my customizations (custom "search/export" button) can be done without changes to installed files?
There are 2 more questions, please:
4. I set up a login page and set it so user can only edit own info. However, it seems all users are able to "add a new record". How can this be disabled except for admin?
5. I can't find a "Save Project" menu anywhere. I made changes, added report etc, did a build (which I'd assume it saves the project at that time), and tried to upload (only changes)... it froze after it couldn't open an ftp connection. I couldn't do anything except abort the session. I went back in but all the changes were gone. Isn't there a way to save changes without exiting program?

Everything you mentioned earlier can be implemented without source files modifications.
To restrict users from adding records use User Group Permissions
To save project hit the Project button at the bottom of PHPRunner window and choose Save Project
