jQuery Grid Plugin – jqGrid

Hello All,

Today we are launching the Beta of jqGrid for PHP. This is a brand new product created for PHP developers and teams that radically decreases development time with jqGrid and makes it fun and easy. The product will be offered with commercial licenses that will include fast and accurate technical support, source code and subscription based benefits.
Highlight points include:
– all functionality jqGrid has is supported
– no need for tricky javascript – everything is handled in PHP
– the PHP component automatically handles data retrieval, paging, sorting, searching and all CRUD operations (create, read, update, delete). No need for custom code.
– you can have a fully functional grid with just a few lines of PHP
– export to Excel is supported
– database engines supported: MySql, Postgre SQL, Microsoft SQL server

You can see our online demo (50+ examples) here:
http://www.trirand.net/demophp.aspx

You can post questions in our public forums for jqGrid for PHP here
http://www.trirand.net/forum/default.aspx?g=forum

And you can download the trial component here:
http://www.trirand.net/download.aspx

Note: We are using PDO (PHP Data Objects) for automatic grid operations, so depending on your PHP setup you may need to install it before using jqGrid for PHP. PDO is by default installed in PHP 5.1+ distributions.
The above is valid only for MySQL and PostgreSQL databases
Details on PDO:
http://php.net/manual/en/book.pdo.php

For Microsoft SQL Server we are using the driver provided from Microsoft.

Please, let us know what you think. As usual, your feedback is much appreciated.

In other ASP.NET news, you can take a look at this great DotNetNuke example showing how you can use jqGrid inside the DotNetNuke CMS. We’d like to thank Oliver Hine for creating this sample and sharing it with the community:

What’s next – we have finalized the release dates for the Beta versions of our ASP.MET MVC component based on jqGrid and our PHP framework for codeless integration of jqGrid in your PHP project (with support for all grid features like paging, sorting, searching, etc).

jqGrid ASP.NET MVC component Beta – Dec, 10th, 2009
jqGrid PHP framework – Dec, 20th, 2009

Based on your feedback, the beta program will continue for several weeks up to a month and we will release both the ASP.NET MVC version and the PHP version in January next year. Please, expect more details on the Beta release dates.

jqGrid Team

Today we have released jqGrid 3.6.1 – this is a hotfix for our official 3.6 release. Since 3.6 introduced a ton of new functionality, we decided that 3.6.1 will contain only bugfixes. We are of course still considering features for our next release, so you can still submit feature requests and bug reports in the forum associated with this blog post. For a complete list of fixes in 3.6.1, please visit the following link in the WIKI

In other news, our 3.5 and 3.6 release have been so popular, that our current hosting has become slow in peak hours in the last few days. Therefore, we will be moving to a more powerful VPS hosting this week. Transition should be smooth and hopefully there will be no downtime at all. If you notice problems with our site, please let us know. We apologize if you have currently loading problems with the site

Last but not least, we have pleasant surprises for you – we are working on a PHP framework that will allow [almost] codeless, easy and fast integration of jqGrid in your PHP projects. Our ASP.NET WebForms component has been recently updated with a lot of new functionality too and our ASP.NET team is working on a brand new ASP.NET MVC version, with expected Beta in the beginning of December. More of that – in the following weeks.
Kind Regards,
Trirand jqGrid Team
