Released July 29th, 2021

Detail View

  • NEW: hide labels programmatically
    dv.getFields(["field1", "field2", "..."]).hideLabels();
  • EXPERIMENTAL: lock <input/> (!) fields programmatically
    dv.getField("inputfield").lock(true) // true|false
    This function protects the field against overwriting and appends a button for unlocking the field.
    Limitation: This will only work in real <input/> fields, not on complex fields (like date-selectors or lookups).

Custom tabs

  • FIX: readonly (!) images will be moved into custom tabs correctly, now
  • NEW: add badge to children custom tab programmatically
    tab.addBadge(123); // number
    tab.addBadgeIf(condition, number); // condition: boolean, number: numeric

Children tabs

  • NEW: Re-Label children tab caption
    var tabs = dv.getChildrenTabs();
    var tab = tabs.get("tablename");
    var tab.label("New Tab Caption");
  • NEW: add buttons and links to child tab
    tab.addButton
    tab.addButtonModal
    tab.addButtonOpen
    tab.addButtonOpenModal
    tab.addLink
    tab.addLinkModal
  • NEW: remove default "open child in modal dialog" button in rows of a child tab
    dv.getChildrenTabs().get("tn", "cn").removeButtons();
  • NEW: change image size in children tab captions
    dv.getChildrenTabs().setImageSize(16);
  • EXPERIMENTAL: change order of children tabs programmatically
    dv.getChildrenTabs().sort( ["tablename1", "tablename2", "..."], true, true );
    parameters: 
    (1) array of table names 
    (2) boolean: auto activate first tab 
    (3) boolean: auto hide tabs on load, then auto-show tabs after sorting
  • NEW: hide/show tabs programmatically
    dv.getChildrenTabs().hideTabs();
    dv.getChildrenTabs().showTabs();
  • NEW: decrease padding (text-margin) in tab captions which so more tabs will fit into one row
    dv.getChildrenTabs().compact(5);

Children links

  • NEW: hide toolbar containing links to child tables
    dv.getChildrenLinks().hide();
  • NEW: remove horizontal line
    dv.getChildrenLinks().removeHR();

Table View

Common

  • NEW: change browser title (browser-tab caption)
    AppGiniHelper.common.setBrowserTitle("text");
    You can even pass a function for changing the title dynamically
    AppGiniHelper.common.setBrowserTitle(function(title) { return "new title"; });
  • NEW: Get logged in memberID on client side
    AppGiniHelper.getMemberID(function(memberID) { /* your function */ });
  • NEW: User translations (defined in language.php) on client side
    var text = AppGiniCommon.T["key"];
  • UPD: additional parameter for autoRedirect function
    common.autoRedirect(true);
    By passing true the auto redirect function will also work if we have a referrer, for example when navigating between an unrestricted page and a restricted page, not only when opening up a new broser tab. For backward compatibility, the default value is false.
Navbar

Login View

  • If we are in login page (see also AppGiniHelper.isLoginPage function) we can now remove some parts of the view:
    new AppGiniLoginView()
    .removeLostPassword()
    .removeRememberMe()
    .removeFooter();

Detail View

Table View

Common

  • NEW: Recommended way for getting a tv-handle
    This will replace the deprecated initialization var tv = new AppGiniTableView(); in the future
    • var tv = AppGiniHelper.TV;
  • NEW: Recommended way for getting a dv-handle
    This will replace the deprecated initialization var dv = new AppGiniDetailView(); in the future due to multiple initializations of AppGiniDetailView in different files
    • var dv = AppGiniHelper.DV;

Helper functions

Experimental features

The following features have been included in the library for testing purposes but are not supported. If they work for you, feel free to use them "as it".

  • NEW: navbar moved to the left hand side. This mimics a Sidebar (but isn't)
    • common.navbar.toLeft();

    • dv.getField("fieldname").wrap(); // single field
    • dv.getFields(["fieldname1", "fieldname2"]).wrap(); // multiple fields (array)

    • Result
    • Notes:
      • There is a left-padding when wrapping readonly fields (static)
      • There may be conflicts with other functions changing the width of fields, for example with .inline function
