Questions and Answers webinar

Scriptcase 8 Webinars
#1

Hello Scriptcasers!

On this Friday, Sep 26th, at 3pm (GMT -3) we will perform a special webinar for Questions and Answers.

I decided to open this thread for you to post questions in advance. I will be live on Friday with a technical support operator to provide you the answers.

Thanks for your participation!

Cheers,

M?rcia

Ok everybody. HERE’S YOUR CHANCE!!! Post questions for the next webinar in 3 days!!!

#3

@M?rcia : look at this forum und you have questions for many q&a webinars …

#4

If nobody will react in a serious way Reinhard then there will be no attendees. If there are no attendees there will be no webinar. This is the best chance to get annoying bugs under attention and communicate directly to SC (technicians). Lot of us complain about support, than this hand cannot be ignored nor rejected. It is a huge step foreward.

#5

Ok …

  • Manipulate custom/run buttons in a grid, change color / text?
  • Report in landscape format with TCPDF and header/footer with subtotal on every page and sum at last page?
  • Menu in SC8 mobile app with link to grid and link to edit record. Close the edit return to grid, close the grid return to menu?
#6
  • html2pdf using TCPDF
  • show menu in mobile app with containers
  • control content of one container by another container (using variables)
  • control toolbar (if it’s possible) like the menu
  • intercept events of toolbar buttons
  • intercept messages of calendar application when moves on calendar (not in the app)

@Marcia,

In general all advanced users I spoke to wants to know the bug-fixing policy of SC. I think it would be welcome if you could tell the way SC is acknowledging bugs and how we - the community - gets informed. That the current way ‘issue reported to bugs team’ is not satisfactory will be obvious. There’s no feedback what-so-ever, if there’s any it’s very rare. I tried to get a lot of heavy users on the webinar but I’m not sure who will attend. Unfortunately we cannot see who’s online nowadays.
The webinar is not ment for ranting, we all want the best and want to work with SC to get things better. The best way of achieving that, is by being open to the community. What is SC doing to solve the issues, what steps have been taken to improve support and beta testing, how will SC avoid to have similar issues when releasing the next version. To my personal experience it was bad from 5 to 6, it was worse from 6 to 7 and it 7 to 8 beats everything. How can the community help SC in your view, what has SC to offfer?

I Will try to be there. I will post questions when have time :eek:

I still love to see ways of extending scriptcase 7 and 8, where to put code to make custom buttons anywhere! on my form in grid and form mode. I want to be able to customise my sc programs when needed. e.g. press a button somewhere on my form, have it do something e.g. send data to a server, get a reply back and put a nice custom dialog over the existing window.
The way it is now I am not totally happy with.

And how about the point that there is sajax integrated (although with minor bugs!!) and I want to use it myself to create a custom function and have to called by some action on a form.
jquery function calls would do nice as well.
But then in such a way that it intergrates properly.

That way I could for example change the way something looks in fine detail (e.g. if field1=field2 and result of some query is in field1 or field 2 then show some button green else dont show the button at all…

This is simply to do in normal php and jquery/sajax but in scriptcase it should be too. Show people how to get more out of sc.

My question is.

I would like to know what are the actions NetMake will take to improve some things related to bugs and communication with community. IF they will listen to community and aceppt the free help we are offering. Public information about bugs state and so on…

#11

From the website: The Calendar application has now new visual elements, which makes it more friendly and useful. New colors can be defined for the different events, for the events that have already occurred and for those that will occur. There is a block option for the drag’n drop in scheduled events and also the option to display all events using a to-do list is available.

How can I define new colours for different events? I need that very much!

#12

hi,

menu application, items, small icons do not align correctly affront of the item… themes css doesn’t work to adjust them… please explain where the items/small icons affront of them can be adjusted.

the summary is not working at all in SC8, it is a bug, already posted in bugs section

container and new chart app do not have toolbar, nor back or exit menu, makes it impossible to open from mobile, user will stuck there!

Ok, in the next webinars, we talk about the css of the buttons.

I would like a webinar that covers PDF Report only.

Specifically, to give a demonstration on a multi line, multi page report set as “Records per line”. To include headers and footers.

  • When are you guys including confirmation dialog options for default SC buttons such as Add, delete, modify, etc. it is a functionality most of us want and we are struggling with it.

  • Where can we find documentation about the CSS default classes used in SC

  • What are the best practices for SC developers to include 3rd party libraries (check post about SC deleting non SC files when updated)

  • Are you guys considering “seriously” a form application drag and drop creator?.

  • If I want netmake to develop something for me to be included in my scriptcase what are the channels to accomplish that

  • Are you guys releasing a multi developer single database environment ever?.. for real, you guys know it’s something lots of people have asked for

  • what is netmake roadmap for mobile devices… as of now SC sucks (and I’m very sorry to say that) at creating css for mobiles

  • are you guys considering the creation of snippets for blank applications?.. for example a snippet to include a calendar field in a blank application with the current CSS.

  • does Netmake have any authorized component compatibility list?.. for example if i wanna include jquery ui in my project.

  • are you guys working on plug-ins or add-on for SC.

I have many more but this ones are the ones i care for more.

Regards
