It's Friday and it's time to wrap up the things we did during the week so if you couldn't follow us on a daily basis here's what happened. We released one highly useful extension called HTML5 Data Bindings State Management, which you should look further into it. It's accompanied by video tutorials and great user manual to help you working with it. Check out below for the full list of contents.
Back in the days when we released HTML5 Data Bindings and the concept of dynamic Ajax driven web pages there was one big concern. Search engines such as Google and Bing were excellent at indexing HTML
but not so much when it came to understanding JavaScript and crawling
AJAX content. But now, we're happy to share with you that this is not the case anymore and after so many years they finally do! As long as you're not blocking Googlebot from crawling your JavaScript or CSS files, Google is generally able to render and understand your web pages like modern browsers.
It's Wednesday as you are already aware, great news come first on our blog. We're happy to announce the official release of HTML5 Data Bindings State Management extension, which we talked about the last couple of days. So if you're curious about this great addition to the numerous server side tools we already have, you should definitely check it out. Also, you can explore its power live in our showcase below.
Just a day before the official release of HTML5 Data Bindings State Management, we offer you two amazing videos, which will walk you through various cases, when you'll need the extension. Both step by step tutorials will guide you through the process of keeping a pagination state, setting a cookie and filtering a query so make sure to check those as the results are astonishing and you'll find the extension highly useful for your pages.
What does it even mean to manage cookies and URL parameters? Well, when building single page apps/sites where you do a lot of sorting,
filtering and refreshing of your data (partially on the page), you want
to preserve some of the state in the browser URL. So when people hit the
back button they don't start completely from scratch, but from the
state indicated in the URL. We have one small but highly useful extension coming up this week, which does exactly that and even more. It's called HTML5 Data Bindings State Management, so stay tuned!
While most of you were celebrating Easter, our developers still found the time to give us a handful of improved extensions. We appreciate everyone's feedback on our tools and the result is improved versions of DMXzone Server Connect, DMXzone Database Connector PHP/ASP and DMXzone Database Updater PHP/ASP so make sure to check out what's new and update them.
Well, we have even more improved extensions today. HTML5 Form Validator and HTML5 File Upload got the needed treatment and now their latest versions come with some awesome new features. What stands out about the Validator is that it now supports Unicode to validate emails and URLs. Below you can see the full list of improvements and new stuff, added to both extensions.
A couple of weeks ago we improved the DMXzone Server Connect majorly and therefor some of our video tutorials has to be updated too. When it comes to inserting, updating and deleting records into a database, it could be easily done if you follow our latest videos so make sure to check them out. Also, if you're still missing an extension, our Easter Sale continues until Wednesday so hurry up and get at least 20% discount, using promo code: DMXEASTER16 in the shopping cart.
Easter is approaching and, as you already know from previous years, so is our annual Easter Sale! For a week you'll have the opportunity to get any of our DMXzone extensions and templates with significant discount so make your list ready because we start tomorrow!
In other great news, our Live Support will be available around Easter as the Bulgarian office celebrates it in May so we'll be on the line for questions and help if you decide to do some work during the days off.
