Hi everyone... The Dynamic User Directory 2.4 release is currently in beta on www.betasprings.com and is also in the hands several clients fo testing. Documentation should be completed within the next couple of weeks and the release will follow shortly.
Here are some of the upcoming enhancements for the release...
- Significant performance improvements related to retrieving the results. We have been running benchmarks between the previous version and are updated scripts for pulling in the data are much faster. Previouslly the data was generated primarily via code and the new method involves very efficient SQL queries, stored procedures, and views. Simply put - its much faster.
- Ability to allow the user to change the page size; also define initial page size, which page size options are available to the user and if the page size control is aligned to the left or the right of the page
- New Maximum Number of results to retrieve - another performance option which will only render the first 'x' number of results to the module. This can be useful if you have a large membership database and want to force the user to search to render fewer records.
- New option to now display the page numbers on the top, bottom, or both the top and the bottom of the results
- New search localization features to allow the ability to localize search conditions (such as begins with, ends with, etc...)
- New search localization features to allow the ability to localize search labels and fields
- Optionally display a results count to the user, showcasing the number of total results displayed along with the listings within that page and current page number etc...
If anyone has any questions please feel free to post them!
