Hello Scriptcase Enthusiasts,

Hot Tips to Keep Your Apps Cool This August! 🌟

Jamie here, bringing you another round of transformative tips to elevate your Scriptcase projects this August! Let’s gear up with fresh ideas to streamline workflows and create apps that wow your users.

Tip 1: Auto-Refresh Grids with AJAX

Keep your grids up to date in real-time by enabling AJAX auto-refresh. Go to Grid > Settings > Refresh Interval, and set a refresh period. Your users will love the dynamic data updates!

Tip 2: Empower Your Apps with External Libraries

Need advanced functionality? Integrate external libraries directly into your apps. Upload your library under Tools > Libraries, and call it in your code. Example:

require_once('path_to_library/library.php'); echo custom_function();

Expand your app’s potential with ease.

Tip 3: Add Google Charts for Stunning Visuals

Visualize data like never before! Integrate Google Charts with a Blank App:

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.gstatic.com/charts/loader.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> google.charts.load('current', {'packages':['corechart']}); google.charts.setOnLoadCallback(drawChart); function drawChart() { var data = google.visualization.arrayToDataTable([ ['Task', 'Hours per Day'], ['Work', 8], ['Eat', 2], ['Sleep', 8] ]); var options = {title: 'My Daily Activities'}; var chart = new google.visualization.PieChart(document.getElementById('chart_div')); chart.draw(data, options); } </script> <div id="chart_div"></div>

Use visuals to make your data shine!

Tip 4: Create a Multi-Language App

Cater to global audiences by enabling multiple languages in your app. Go to Application > Languages, and add translations for your text labels. Pair this with the sc_change_language() macro for seamless switching.

Tip 5: Use Keyboard Shortcuts for Efficiency

Speed up your workflow by using Scriptcase keyboard shortcuts. For example, press Ctrl + S to save or Ctrl + P to preview your app. Check the full list under Help > Keyboard Shortcuts. Power productivity at your fingertips!
