DHTMLX 3.6 Released with New Great Features

Thursday, April 18th, 2013

We are excited to announce the long awaited release of DHTMLX 3.6. This update is aimed to fix the known bugs and improve stability and performance of the DHTMLX UI components. This release brings new features to dhtmlxForm and dhtmlxChart, and introduces a new component – dhtmlxPopup.

dhtmlxPopup

With this new UI component, the DHTMLX library allows you to save space on a page and display some additional information or UI element in a nice-looking JavaScript popup. dhtmlxPopup can be used as a simple tooltip or list, or it can include other DHTMLX component: form, grid, calendar, accordion, etc.

dhtmlxPopup - JavaScript Popup Box

You can attach the popup to any HTML object on a page. It is also natively integrated in the dhtmlxForm and dhtmlxToolbar components.

dhtmlxForm Improvements

We have added lots of small fixes and performance improvements in dhtmlxForm. Version 3.6 also supports the ability to add or remove form items on the fly. In addition, you can now dynamically set/clear field validation, notes and required fields in the form.

New Features in dhtmlxChart

We continue to improve our JavaScript charting library so the new version comes with the ability to display a combination of charts. You can combine different chart types (for example, line, bar, and area charts) on one chart. Another handy feature of chart combination is that you can show/hide the series of charts by clicking on chart names in the legend.

dhtmlxChart 3.6 - Combo Chart

dhtmlxChart 3.6 also allows you to set custom values for the horizontal scale. The values on the X-scale can be defined manually or you can automatically generate them by specifying the start/end values and the scale step.

Scrolling on Touch Devices

Since the DHTMLX components are pure JavaScript and can be viewed on mobile devices, we have improved the scrolling feature for dhtmlxGrid, dhtmlxTreeGrid, dhtmlxTree, dhtmlxCombo, and dhtmlxDataView. Now when displayed on touch devices (the latest versions of iOS and Android), these components use the native scrolling included on the device.

 
The link to the latest dhtmlxSuite PRO package will be sent by email to the paid users with active support/updates subscription.

dhtmlxScheduler 3.7 Released with Touch Screen Support

Wednesday, February 20th, 2013

We are happy to announce the release of version 3.7 of dhtmlxScheduler. The highlight of this release is the support for touch screens. If you need a Google-like event calendar for your app or website that can be viewed on both desktop and mobile devices, dhtmlxScheduler 3.7 now offers a simple solution for that.

dhtmlxScheduler 3.7 - Event Calendar for Touch Screens

With this update, the Scheduler works equally well on large touchscreen monitors, tablets, and smartphones (Windows 8, iOS, and Android devices). Although on phones, the scheduler’s interface is harder to read and navigate because of small screen sizes. Note that we also offer the mobile version of the scheduler for phones.

In version 3.7, all functionality available in dhtmlxScheduler is working on touch screens. The end users can easily navigate between the calendar views, edit the events by double tap, drag-and-drop the event boxes to change the start/end time of the events, and use other great features of dhtmlxScheduler.

 
dhtmlxScheduler 3.7 - Quick Info Popup

 
Another useful enhancement for touch screens is a “Quick info” extension that replaces the sidebar menu placed on the left of the event box. When the end user taps on the event box, the popup appears that contains additional information about the event and buttons “Details” and “Delete” (by default). You can configure the Quick info popup to display any other information about the event or add custom buttons (e.g. “Register” or “Book an appointment”, if you use dhtmlxScheduler as a booking calendar).

Version 3.7 also includes fixes for all known bugs which improves Scheduler’s performance and stability.

Download the Standard Edition of dhtmlxScheduler 3.7 and enjoy the new features. Those who have the PRO Edition of dhtmlxScheduler with active support subscription will receive the download link by email.

dhtmlxConnector for PHP, Java, ASP.NET Updated to v.1.5

Tuesday, June 12th, 2012

We would like to introduce the update of dhtmlxConnectors for PHP, Java, and ASP.NET. The connectors were developed to simplify data binding between the client-side DHTMLX components and a database on the server. The new version 1.5 brings better security, flexibility, and improved support for dhtmlxScheduler and DHTMLX Touch.

Learn more and download dhtmlxConnector 1.5

Security Improvements

XSS (Cross Site Scripting) is a known security vulnerability of web pages which load the content dynamically from the server-side database. To protect web pages from injection of malicious scripts, version 1.5 of dhtmlxConnector comes with XSS filtering enabled by default. The update also includes server-side protection techniques that prevent CSRF and XSRF attacks.

More Flexibility

With this update, dhtmlxConnector offers additional methods for data rendering. Introducing support for stored procedures calls, we added the ability to retrieve data form the database using the stored procedure.

Another enhancement in version 1.5 is that the connector now can get content from data arrays, which gives you more freedom when choosing the data source to load data from (you can use the connector with non-database data sources).

dhtmlxConnector v.1.5 provides better support for OOP (Object Oriented Programming) that includes support for data model and data behavior classes.

Scheduler and DHTMLX Touch

Working with dhtmlxScheduler, you can now generate data in JSON format using JSONSchedulerConnector class. We have also improved support for our mobile framework DHTMLX Touch by adding dynamic loading capability and implementing the full existing functionality of the main connectors.
