Interface suggestions

[massyn]

Hi,

I'm still getting the hang of NuBuilder, but so far so good. I have a couple of suggestions of interface issues that I'd like to raise.

1) When hitting "Save", there is no message to say "Successful". I find that my local dev machine is much faster than the remote one, and I don't always know if the settings were saved or not.
2) I understand the concept of forms and objects, but I find switching between the two when developing a form is a tedious exercise. I'd suggest an option when editing the form, where you could double click on the field, which will take you to that field's object settings. It would make development a lot easier.
3) I think the Wizard should utilize a date picker automatically if it detects a date format in the SQL database.

Now to watch some more NuBuilder YouTube videos

massyn,

1) to get this put some code in your form Custom code > After Save, like this:

Code: Select all

// Add the line below if you want to style the output message 
//   (remember to add a #storedOkMsg in css file and a translation string in Setup > Translations)
// $msg = '<div id="storedOkMsg">' . nuTranslate('Record stored succesful!') . '</div>';

$msg  = '<div style="position:absolute;top:100px;left:200px">';
$msg .= nuTranslate('Record correctly stored!');
$msg .= '</div>';
echo $msg;
sleep(4);

but, I think, users don't like to wait to see messages like this (maybe could take a message of failure).

2) this feature is already built into nuBuilder; see http://wiki.nubuilder.com/tiki-index.ph ... structure=
3) Date picker is selected automatically when you set the format for the date fields on your forms (you must specify it anyway).

Hope this is useful.
