Netbiscuits Portal Update (2008-07-10)

Site Builder:

Required Fields
Support for required fields in the “ContactForm” and “GenericForm”.
Now you can set a flag “required” to the fields and assign a field error message.

If you set the form “errorPage” to the same page you are currently in, then the users will not be able to proceed to the success page until they have filled the required fields.
The field error message appears beside the field and can be formatted with the usual richtext directives.


Collecting Submitted Form Data
If you leave the recepient field empty the submitted form data will be collected on the Netbiscuits platform.

Next week we will add the final enhancements to this feature: rich text editors for the error messages and a selector to allow for collecting the data on the platform as well as forwarding the data to an email address.

You will also get the download link for the collected form data as CSV.

Nokia Ad-Server
The support for Ad-Banner providers has been expanded to include the Nokia Ad-Server.
To use it on your pages you have to have a valid account with Nokia and use the appropriate spot designation.


Application Dashboard

Now you can have more flexibility with your friendly URLs. You can specify the domain as well as a path on this domain.
This path is then used as a root for the application.

There is still a check for the uniqueness of the friendly URL as well as for the ownership of the domain. You cannot have the domain of a friendly URL assigned to more than one account.


Media Repository

The media repository shows the images uploaded to the platform through the site builder. Now you can also delete these images.


Reporting

We have introduced a reports filtering toolbar which allows to pre-filter all the display for a specific date range: the calendar and the date filter.
Also it is possible to apply a filter on any field which appears in the reports.
