Hello Scriptcase Pros,

Jamie here, bringing you November’s top tips to keep your apps running efficiently and your creativity flowing. Let’s keep the momentum going as we dive into another month of Scriptcase mastery!

Tip 1: Optimize Login Pages with Custom Validation

Improve security and user experience by adding custom validations to your login page. Use the onValidate event to check conditions before granting access. Example:

if ({username} == "admin" && {ip_address} != "allowed_ip") { sc_error_message("Access denied from this location."); sc_error_exit(); }

Tailored validations = smarter access control.

Tip 2: Speed Up Deployment with Export Templates

Save time by creating and reusing export templates for grids and reports. Under Export > Settings, configure layouts, headers, and footers to maintain consistency across apps.

Tip 3: Enhance Forms with Dynamic Dropdowns

Use Scriptcase’s AJAX functionality to create dynamic dropdowns. Example:

sc_lookup(dataset, "SELECT city FROM cities WHERE country = '{country}'"); {city_dropdown} = {dataset};

Keep your forms smart and user-friendly!

Tip 4: Track Metrics with Google Analytics

Monitor app performance by embedding Google Analytics tracking code. Add this snippet to your app’s header:

<script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=GA_TRACKING_ID"></script> <script> window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || []; function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);} gtag('js', new Date()); gtag('config', 'GA_TRACKING_ID'); </script>

Understand your users like never before.

Tip 5: Backup Smarter with Scriptcase Utilities

Never lose your progress! Use Tools > Backup to create regular snapshots of your project. Automate backups with cron jobs for added peace of mind:

0 2 * * * /path_to_scriptcase/scriptcase_backup.sh

Stay prepared for anything.

P.S. Is there a feature or topic you’d love me to cover in December? Hit reply and let me know. As we gear up for the year’s end, let’s finish strong together!

Stay inspired and keep innovating,

Cheers,

Jamie
