KATHMANDU, Nepal -- SageFrame 3.6 is all set to release and wow its users once again. This version is mainly focused on adding features that help both developers and non-developers. The features like Dynamic Bundling, Module Maker and Module Loader are for developers, so that they can save their time from excessive coding. There are some other minor changes that give SageFrame a fresh and exhilarating look. The descriptions of these new features are explained briefly below.
Module Maker – In the previous versions of SageFrame, all the modules had to be created manually. It was a tedious task to manage view, edit, settings during user control register for each module. On top of that, the developers also had to manually insert CSS, JS and Web Services along with the logic. But with this feature, the modules can be created from SageFrame itself instead of Visual Basic. This is more helpful for the developers as they can save a lot of time. Days of repetitive work can be completed in a matter of few hours with Module Maker.
Dynamic Bundling – This is an already existent feature in Portal Settings and has been improved in this version. In the previous versions, the CSS present in the home page were bundled together and then loaded. But now, the CSS from the back end is also bundled into 1 package. Similarly, before there were 5 JS were loaded from the front end. But this has been decreased to only two – library and test. It is a known fact that lesser the number of CSS and JS, the faster the site will load. So, with this feature, the loading speed of the site will definitely increase.
Page Role Setting and Dashboard Role Setting – This feature is an extension to Roles Management. Two new modules are added – Page Role Settings and Dashboard Role Settings. The Page Role Settings accumulates all the pages in one place that have been divided into Portal Pages and Admin Pages. The benefit of this addition is that, the permission for all the pages to either view or access can be changed from one place instead of going to each individual page and editing it. In previous sections, the access of dashboard was limited to superuser and site admin only. But with Dashboard Role Setting, the superuser can grant access to other users as well. After updating this change, the users can access the dashboard from the home page.
Database Backup and Cleanup Script – These two features have been added in the SQL module. The Database Backup creates a backup file and saves it in the form of .bak file. On the other hand, Cleanup Script deletes all the user modules from the portal pages. Only the admin pages and home pages will remain. Also, some of the tables from the database will be truncated.
User Suspension – If a user inserts wrong username and password, then at the 3rd wrong attempt Captcha is asked. Again, another 3 wrong login attempts leads to suspension of ID. A message is displayed to the user saying that his IP has been suspended for the next three hours. The user can contact the superuser to immediately unlock his IP. For this the superuser can uncheck user from the list of blocked user IP.
Module Loader – This feature has been added for the benefit of the developer and is mainly used in the code section of SageFrame. Every module has its own control file. Before, it was not possible for a module’s control file to call another module’s control file. But with this, loader it can be called dynamically.
SageFrame users can enjoy these new features and indulge in the goodness of SageFrame 3.6.
