mosForms 0.4b released
Tuesday, 25 July 2006

I've decide to release mosForms0.4b, which you can download from here

Whilst its been a long time during releases, this is not an indication of a stalled project, rather that a couple of the projects I've been working on have stretched mosForms beyond what is was previously capable of, and thus required a rather large rewrite of the core code. I hope those of you who have been following the SVN version can appreciate this :D

This release should solve a lot of the problems assocaited with 0.4a_6, and in my oppinion is a fairly stable release

This version brings a little bit of ajax in the administration, primarily for auto updating the element drop downs based on the selected table, I've used xajax and script.aculo.us. I've had reports of issues with the ajax in Safari, but I don't have a Mac to test on, so if anyone can confirm this that would be really appreciated!

A new feature in this release is the ability to export/install groups of tables as applications. This should allow the community to create premade installers for common applications such as job sites, or accommodation listings

A new search filter option has been added, which when activated, will allow users to create refined searches on the table data

Prefilters can now be applied to tables, so that only records meeting certain requirements are shown

patTemplating is now available for both forms, tables, and tables grouped on a given field, some introductory information can be found on this sites wiki

Element calculations have been added, so you can sum, average, total, or median a columns data

Adding database joins is still not as smooth an experience as I would like - currently you're required to add a join, save the table and add a second join, hopefully in time I'll be able to smooth out this process.

CSV output of table data from the front end is now possible, along with creating RSS feeds of the tables data

I'll be off on holiday for the next three weeks, with a drive though Spain to Portugal for the boom festival which promises to be amazing, but will be available afterwards for feed back
