Fabrik 2.0rc2 has now been released and is available in the downloads section
The main reason for this release is to address an issue with installation on Joomla 1.5.10. If you are using Joomla 1.5.10 then we strongly recommend you update to this version.
Some new hightlights since Fabrik 2.0rc1 include
- Geo-coding is now possible in the Google maps element (thanks to ggdm)
- Scheduled tasks can now be scheduled over intervals defined in seconds
- Speed improvements in table rendering (reduced queries)
- Several CSV import issues resolved
- Basic implementation of Joomfish translation of table content (requires the component parameter "work in progress" to be selected)
- Added an EXIF form processing plug-in
- Added a VBulletin forum creation form plug-in
- Added tagify option to text area element (each word becomes a tag which can be used to filter the table)
- Several bug fixes to multi-page forms
- Changed: If changes to an element effect the database table's field then you are shown a notification page of the changes that will take place and any special warnings about the table whose structure you will be editing (e.g. if it is a core Fabrik or Joomla table, or if it starts with the J database prefix)
- Addded; the Joomla content plug-in can now use nested replacement text to grab data from the querystring :
For example this plug-in code:
{fabrik view=form id={fid} demo_venues___name={venue} }
called from this page:
http://localhost/fabrik2.0.x/en/formbot.html?fid=124&venue=test
will be parsed to be:
{fabrik view=form id=124 demo_venues___name=test } - Plug-in uninstall now correctly removes all files (thanks to felixbelaby)
- Plug-in installation now uses an upgrade method, which means you no longer have to uninstall a Fabrik plug-in before re-installing
- Form module - 'use ajax' option. If turned on then redirect pages are loaded in a mocha window.
fixed: if sumbitting form module redirect url was not working - Hugh has started work on a new "media" visualization, allowing you to play mp3's stored in your tables.
- Fixed: email validation was not working when submitting a form via AJAX
