Download P4A 3.0.3

I’m taking a bit of time (before leaving for a week of pure holiday) to write some pages of the P4A manual.

After the latest post about P4A’s I18n I’m now working on the first mask page, containing documentation about building widgets, displaying them in the mask, using layout managers (frames, fieldsets, canvases, sheets) and using the field.

Work is nearly completed, I think I’ll finish it today and that will be great!

We still have a lot of parts that need documentation, you can find the list here, you know… your help would be really appreciated!

How translations work and how to create multilingual applications in P4A.

We’re not on holiday yet, time for a new minor release :-)

Changelog:

• a small change was done on P4A_Array_Source to enable the usage of empty array_sources without warnings
• tooltips are now automatically translated at rendering time
• P4A_DB_Source::saveRow() now reads pk values back from Zend_DB_Table::insert() gaining better functionality with auto increment primary keys
• jQuery UI was updated to 1.5.2
• a small bug with P4A_I18N::_normalize() method was solved
• p4a_focus_set() javascript function was reworked to avoid a javascript warning in firebug
• loading a P4A_Array_Source with a simple array of data now does not create the “0″ field anymore, it’s been renamed to “f0″ to avoid problems with some PHP configurations with numerical object properties

Changelog:

- a bug about session name was solved
