SkillBuilders Save Before Exit 3.0

I've just finished the latest update to the SkillBuilders Save Before Exit plug-in. Here's a summary of the changes in version 3.0:

• Added setting to highlight items that were modified (thanks to Alex for the idea)
• Implemented “fix” for IE issue that caused users to be prompted two times rather than just once (this was removed at some point but has been added back in)
• Added modifiedItems method which returns a jQuery object of the APEX items that were modified 
• Renamed Ignore Change Selector setting to Ignore Modifications Selector. Also renamed changeDetected method to modificationDetected (similar naming convention now used throughout plug-in)

The new highlighting feature is awesome! Check out a demo here.

Be sure to visit our plug-in page to learn more about the plug-in and to download a copy. Enjoy!

New Webinar: Introducing SkillBuilders Super LOV 2.0

It's almost time to release SkillBuilders Super LOV 2.0! The release will be next Thursday and we'll be holding a webinar to be sure everyone knows how to best leverage the plug-in.

Abstract

Since its introduction just over one year ago, the SkillBuilders Super LOV (list-of-values) plug-in has been our most popular plug-in by far. In short, Super LOV displays multi-column LOVs. Due to its popularity we are more committed than ever to making this plug-in better.

To celebrate Super LOV's first birthday (a little belated), we are releasing version 2.0 which brings one of the most requested features since day one: enterable!

Of course enterable is only one of the many features offered by Super LOV at this point. In fact, Super LOV is so action-packed with features we thought it would be fun to invite you to a webinar to show you how to use them all. So if you are in need of a multi-column LOV solution, or you'd simply like to learn more about installing and leveraging plug-ins in APEX, do not miss this session.

Click here to register for the webinar.

As usual, it’s free to attend – but it’s real training. I'll show you how the basics of what the plug-in offers and how that differs from what's available out of the box with APEX. Then take you through the steps of installation and configuration so that you can add Super LOV to your applications immediately.

The webinar will run on Thursday, January 12th, at 1pm EST. To see other time zones, click the registration link and then on the “Show in my Time Zone” link at the top of the page.

SkillBuilders Save Before Exit–2.0

I’ve just released an update to the SkillBuilders Save Before Exit plug-in. This was a major release (especially for such a tiny plug-in) with some good new features:

1. Some users reported false positives with regard to change detection. To prevent this the plug-in now uses true change detection and can even detect changes to the new rich text editors in APEX 4.
2. Support has been added for custom themes/templates via a newly exposed No Warning Selector. This allows you to use a jQuery selector to specify which elements should allow the end user to leave the page without being warned.
3. An Ignore Change Selector option has been added which allows you to specify which element should not be checked for changes.
4. New methods, enableWarning and disableWarning, allow developers to programmatically specify whether change detection should occur via JavaScript.

For those of you using the plug-in and planning to upgrade, make sure to check out the upgrading section of the documentation.
