VERSION NUMBER

This is not actually a major release, I just simplified my version schema to [YEAR].[RELEASE] in an attempt to make the project seem less stale and un-maintained ;). It contains mostly minor bug fixes, and works off my current backlog of issues.

What’s new in v2015.01

  1. Added a Client Side Rendering (CSR) hook to hide the form until SPEasyForms has done it’s work, making the page load less jumpy. Note that CSR was introduced in SharePoint 2013, so this does nothing in SharePoint 2010. To achieve the same result in 2010, you need to modify the master page (see ‘Why is my form so jumpy?’ in the SPEasyForms blog for more information).
  2. The ability to specify the jQuery UI theme to be used site collection wide or at the list level. There’s a page on the editor where you can choose between the 6 themes I’ve included, or you can upload your own theme to anywhere in SharePoint (or even not in SharePoint) and just point me to the style sheet and I’ll use your theme, allowing you to use any of the gallery themes from the jQuery UI site or their tools to roll your own theme.
  3. The biggest change in this version is the ability rearrange more or less everything through drag and drop. In the previous version, you could drag and drop containers and fields. You can now drag and drop collections of fields, for instance you can reorder the tabs in a tabs container, or even move a tab over to an accordion which now makes it an accordion page. You can also nest containers, so you can drag an accordion onto a tabs container, making it a tabs container that has an accordion on one of its tab stops. There are some limitations, which I cover in the user manual.
  4. Also, I’ve gotten rid of the master page on my settings page. I used to use the default master for the site. This caused a lot of compatibility issues between SharePoint 2010 and 2013/Online. Having to live with the IE 8 compatibility setting that’s standard in the 2010 master page meant I have to water down the interface some for 2010 to get everything to work. Now I can use straight-up HTML 5 on all platforms, which is a big improvement. Also, one of the more common problems people had with the previous version was that they had a highly customized master page which effectively scramble the interface of SPEasyForms beyond usability. Since I’m no longer using your master page, that problem should go away.
  5. All of this rework has also yielded significant performance improvements in the editor. Without the master page, it loads much quicker, it doesn’t freeze up as often or as long on intense redraw operations like drag and drop or undo/redo.
  6. Updated my third party libraries to their latest stable release. In the case of jQuery and jQuery-UI, that’s the latest 1.x release.
  7. Rolled up all previous updates to 2014.01 into the baseline.

The complete list of customizations supported, old and new, is now:

  • Containers – the ability to organize fields in a form in some way; current implementations include: Tabs – an implementation of jQueryUI tabs
    • Accordion – an implementation of jQueryUI Accordion
    • Columns – the ability to put fields or containers into 2 or more columns instead of one per row (technically, one or more, but one column doesn’t really buy you much)
    • Stack (NEW!) – allows you to stack 2 or more containers on top of each other, so you can put multiple containers onto a single tab or accordion page.
    • Wizard (NEW!) – a specialty container that allows users to page through containers using next and previous buttons.
    • HTML Snippet (NEW!) – a specialty container, that doesn’t actually hold any fields, but allows you to inject arbitrary HTML into the page, including referencing external scripts and style sheets.
  • Conditional Visibility – conditionally format a field:
    • Based on various conditions like:
      • Membership in a SharePoint group
      • Which form is open (i.e. the new, edit or display form)
      • Comparing the values of other fields based on various comparison operators (i.e. make this field read only when the Color field is equal to Red), comparison operators include:
        • Equals – equals a string literal
        • Matches – matches a JavaScript regular expression
        • NotMatches – does not match a JavaScript regular expression
        • GreaterThan (NEW!) – greater than a string literal
        • GreaterThanOrEquals (NEW!) – greater than or equals to a string literal
        • LessThan (NEW!) – less than a string literal
        • LessThanOrEquals (NEW!) – less than or equals a string literal
        • NotEquals (NEW!) – is not equal to a string literal
    • Formatting Options:
      • Hiding a field completely
      • Making a field read-only
      • Highlighting a field in one of four colors (NEW!)
  • Field Control Adapters – modify the controls users see in the form to input data; current implementations include:
    • Cascading Look Ups – join two look up fields such that the values available in one look up are trimmed based on the value selected in another look up
    • Autocomplete – provide type ahead functionality in a text field based on values pulled from a field in another list on the same site
    • Lookup Detail (NEW!) – allows you to pull in additional fields from a lookup list based on the value selected in a lookup field.
    • Default to Current User (NEW!) – pre-populate a user field with the current user on the new form.
    • Star Rating Adapter (NEW!) – can be applied to numeric fields. Fields are displayed as five stars and edited by clicking on one of the stars.

* All comparison operators ignore case}
** All comparison operators except Matches/NotMatches will check if both operands are valid dates and use date comparison, check if both operands are valid numbers and use numeric comparison second, and lastly use string comparison

Most of the things marked (NEW!) were actually released in the updates package to v2014.01. The Stack and Star Ratings Adapter are actually brand new.
