jQuery Grid Plugin – jqGrid

There are some very exciting news and developments here at TriRand. Based on your feedback, we have decided that there are new ways to make development with jqGrid even easier if we use some of the power of different development platforms. We have started with ASP.NET WebForms and have created a component with programming model and APIs very similar to what ASP.NET developers are used to – asp:GridView, asp:DataGrid, etc. This makes binding the grid to different sources and manipulating data as easy as several lines of code. All communication and plumbing is handled by the component. This also means full Visual Studio .NET integration with all the sugar.

You can see the first Beta at our new ASP.NET specific site — http://www.trirand.net/demo.aspx. We hope that this will grow into a fully fledged product with commercial support and licenses in addition to our open sources ones. We are doing this solely based on customer feedback, where many people have asked us to introduce commerical licenses and support, since their organization either require that or expect commercial grade (guaranteed fast response, guaranteed bug fix) support. We also have plans to provide support for ASP.NET MVC and/or introduce new components based on jQuery and ThemeRoller.

This of course does not change anything about the status and licensing of the client-side jqGrid plugin — it will remain open source project using MIT or GPL licensing. In fact, we are
currently working on v3.6 which will bring new major features and fixes – RTL support for example. What we hope that this will change however is that we will have more time and resources to invest in the product development and ongoing support and even going full time on jqGrid and jQuery / Themeroller components in general. We believe this will be best for the community.

Please, let us know what you think — as usual your feedback is much appreciated and we are listening.

Kind Regards,
Tony

jqGrid 3.5 finally is released.
First of all I want to Thank you all people that participate on this project with invaluable comments and contributions.
I have started new project jqGrid Wiki
The purpose of this project is easy to update the Documentation and the most important part – I have added a HAWTO Sections under every Documentation Chapter. Here we will add all the things that we have discussed and resolved in the Forum.
Since my primary language is not English I want to apologize for the errors in the Documentation, but I hope that with your help we make it better and better.
The registration in the jqGrid Wiki is free so feel free to correct errors and make additions in the Documentation.
(Note – the account on the jqGrid Wiki and the blog are not synchronized – sorry. Any attempt to do this ends with not working wiki.)
For all bug fix releases and updates of 3.5 version please, check the Wiki page

Enjoy

I’m very happy to publish jqGrid 3.5 beta version on this day.
The cahnges are so many so that I will not publish them here. If you download the release you will find a Changes.txt file.

Three very important things are happen with 3.5 beta
1. jQuery UI Theme integration.
2. New rendering engine, which improves the loading speed in some cases up to 10 time faster as of previous releases.
3. At end I have made a decision to remove the loader. From this release I introduce a new download manager which simplicity the procedure of settings the grid to work. Here you can choose what to download. All the files are splited in one file.

As usual the last development source code can be obtained from GitHub.

Do not forget to check the new things here

Enjoy!

Hello all,
This is a bugfix release and maybe the last of 3.4 series. It is really difficult for me to support two versions of jqGrid. All efforts are concenrned on 3.5 release.

Here is the list of changes. The documentation will be updated as soon as possible.

1. Fixed bug in setRowData where the id of the row has a value = 0
2. Fixed bug in delRowData where the id of the row has value = 0
3. Fixed bug in Safari when the cell value is empty and we try to edit
it (inline, cell and form edit). The input always has a space instead of empty string
4. Fixed bug in loading message where we have multiple grid in tabs
5. Fixed bug in sorting in case of subGrid and datatype=local
6. To the onSelectAll event is passed array of the grid id’s (previous empty array) when we deselect all ids.
7. Added align property in the pure subGrid. By default all are align left
8. To the onRightClickRow event we pass two additional parameter rowIndex and columnIndex onRightClickRow( id, rowIndex, colIndex)
9. added autoencode parameter – common for all editing modules. Default false.
If set to true all the posted data will be html encoded
10. In form editing is added parameter closeOnEscape, which can be passed
to every action. By default is false. If set to true the modal is closed when Esc key is
pressed.
11. Fixed bug in sortGrid method – passed parameters to sort data function was wrong.
12. Fixed various typos in filterGrid method.
13. Fixed bug in searchGrid method. The evens are passed wrong to the $.isFunction function.
14. Added grid view mode in form edit. The name of the method is viewGridRow
15. Added formoptions object where we can set diffrent parameters to reorder the rows and columns and etc.
16. Fixed bug in subgrid when the json response for the subgrid is empty
17. Fixed bug in treeGrid – ExpandColClick parameter is enabled (again)
18. Added method getFullTreeNode in treeGrid – which return all the children of the given row.
Currently available only in nested set model
19. Fixed bug in getNodeDepth in treeGrid for adjacency model
20. Added option disabled in formatoptions for the checkbox formater.
Default is true. If set to folse the checkboxes are editable when set with the formatter.
21. Added Catalan, Bulgarian(1251) and Japanese Translations

Happy to introduce the alfa 3 of jqGrid 3.5. This is the last alfa release. Beta will be published soon.
There are a couple of changes. The full list of changes will be published with the beta release.
Important changes in alfa 3.
– ARIA ready (this can be discussed in the future)
– UI Dialog will not be supported (excluded from alfa3). I have made a decision to make own modal (at end).

In order to process easy user contributions I have publish the source code to GitHub.
