Bonus TIPS for Successful Posting

Try a Search First
It is highly recommended that a Search be done on your topic before posting, as many questions have been answered in prior posts. As with any search engine, the shorter the search term, the more "hits" will be returned, but the more specific the search term is, the greater the relevance of those "hits". Searching for "table" might well return every message on the board while "tablesum" would greatly restrict the number of messages returned.

When you do post
First, make sure you are posting your question in the correct forum. For example, if you post an issue regarding Desktop applications on the Mobile & Browser Applications board , not only will your question not be seen by the appropriate audience, it may also be removed or relocated.

The more detail you provide about your problem or question, the more likely someone is to understand your request and be able to help. A sample database with a minimum of records (and its support files, zipped together) will make it much easier to diagnose issues with your application. Screen shots of error messages are especially helpful.

When explaining how to reproduce your problem, please be as detailed as possible. Describe every step, click-by-click and keypress-by-keypress. Otherwise when others try to duplicate your problem, they may do something slightly different and end up with different results.

A note about attachments
You may only attach one file to each message. Attachment file size is limited to 2MB. If you need to include several files, you may do so by zipping them into a single archive.

If you forgot to attach your files to your post, please do NOT create a new thread. Instead, reply to your original message and attach the file there.

When attaching screen shots, it is best to attach an image file (.BMP, .JPG, .GIF, .PNG, etc.) or a zip file of several images, as opposed to a Word document containing the screen shots. Because Word documents are prone to viruses, many message board users will not open your Word file, therefore limiting their ability to help you.

Similarly, if you are uploading a zipped archive, you should simply create a .ZIP file and not a self-extracting .EXE as many users will not run your EXE file.

    ACDS DHX Scheduler Version 1.0 Released

    Alpha Custom Database Solutions, LLC is pleased to announce the release of ACDS DHX Scheduler Version 1.0

    Introduction

    Alpha Custom Database Solutions, LLC (ACDS) ACDS DHX Scheduler is a custom user defined web component addition for use with Alpha Software's Alpha Anywhere RAD environment (A5). It is supported for use in A5 browser/mobile based applications (A5 desktop and A5 WCD are not supported). A supported SQL backend is required. There is no support for DBF tables. The component uses a builder, much like native Alpha Five web components, to add a third party Scheduler control, DHX's dhtmlxScheduler, a product of Dinamenta, UAB, to your web project. (Requires a third party license, not included in the purchase price of this component, from DHTMLX. See there website for current terms and pricing.) The component comes with a GPL version 4.2 of the javascript libraries that allow you to create and test your scheduler. Upgrading to the commercial license, if needed, and/or future versions is achieved with only a couple of mouse clicks from inside the component builder, once the new libraries are downloaded.

    The ACDS DHX Scheduler uses the DHTMLX dhtmlxScheduler Javascript libraries and custom Xbasic code to give the A5 developer a Scheduler to use in A5 web projects with full interaction to a SQL backend. Currently tested and supported databases are MySql, Maria DB, Oracle, postgreSQL, Access, and MS SQL Server. Database interaction is accomplished using Alpha's AlphaDAO and portable SQL for seamless support of various databases. Once the scheduler's SQL table and AlphaDAO connection string is in place a scheduler can be added to a web project with a few clicks of the mouse. No other coding is required for a basic scheduler control. The component builder allows for custom HTML to be inserted above and below the scheduler and also provides both pre-initialization and post-initialization Javascript sections that allow the developer to leverage the powerful and feature rich DHTMLX Scheduler API.

    Features
    • Day, Week, Month, Year, Agenda, Week Agenda, Grid, Google Maps, Units, Time Line, Tree Time Line, as well as custom views are supported
    • Drag and drop, including on mobile devices
    • Touch support
    • Lightweight and fast
    • Recurring events
    • Fully customizable - virtually every aspect of the scheduler's look and feel can be customized.
    • Data export to iCal, XML or JSON
    • Export to PDF or PNG
    • Blocking and/or marking of time slots, days, etc.
    • Multilingual ( more than 20 languages)
    • Client side and server side filtering
    • Tested under the Alpha Anywhere IIS Beta


    The component builder uses over 3,000 lines of code that I wrote to allow the developer to create a fully working scheduler, complete with all the SQL CRUD operations, in just a few mouse clicks. The builder also contains the hooks to allow the developer to leverage the complete dhxScheduler API with all its events, properties, methods and templates to allow for total control of the functioning of the scheduer.

    For a overview of creating your first ACDS DHX Scheduler there are videos located at: http://www.a5customsolutions.com/dhx...er_videos.html

    Re: ACDS DHX Scheduler Version 1.0 Released

    I recently added some new videos including a couple on how to use a UX component for the edits/updates/deletes instead of using the built in light-box.
