BUG: dv.getActionButtons() with AppGini v5.9x

This bug affects appgini version 5.90 and 5.91.

Highlight: WordPress integration

For an upcoming project we plan to integrate data from an AppGini application into a WordPress page. I am currently creating a prototype to determine the feasibility. Components On the one hand, we need a configurable WordPress plugin that retrieves the data. On the other hand we need a counterpart on AppGini side, which provides the data. WordPress output This is what the first results look like. Please note that I have not made the result list prettier yet. More CSS styling is still required here. It is just the first draft: This is a WordPress installation on localhost. The …
