WHAT IS NEW VERSION 5.4? (May 7, 2018)
Get your live news using version 5.4. New RSS draglet that allows you to customize the collection of live news tiles you can drag onto your dashboards.
Here is the collection of ‘live news’ draglets that comes standard in v5.4 (this is configurable by modifying the draglets settings.json file-see below).
See NEW ‘Live News’ link on draglet menu in Live Preview. More live tiles to come!
WHAT IS PHP DASHBOARD VERSION 5.0?
This PHP Dashboard v5.0 (Enterprise Edition), continues the evolution of my PHP/HTML5 Dashboard series, using the latest of my version 4 series PHP Dashboard v4.4 as the starting point, which in turn uses HTML5 Dashboard Designer for the Cloud as its foundation. NOTE: all versions of my PHP/HTML5 dashboard script series are still fully functional, for sale and supported and provides increasing levels of functionality to address the needs of different types of users, developers, business, private and public organizations. It would be good to review all 3 before deciding which version to purchase. The code bases (100% source code included) of each are quite different and you will need to maintain each separately should you decide to customize/tailor/modify these scripts to your needs.
This latest enterprise edition is quite exciting and was designed based on the hundreds of comments/emails I’ve received from you my envato customers about my portfolio of scripts – see handwritten notes 1 & 2. I’ve revamped the user interface to make it responsive and tablet friendly, allowing a dashboard community to now create dashboards using iPads, non-apple tablets or 2:1 laptops with or without stylus pen devices. I added more “draglets” (draggables on the carousels) to include more charts types, complete interactive dashboards and infographics. I created a marketplace so that a (private or public) community of draglet developers can contribute/sell what they have developed for others to use. I expanded the data feed options to include CSV, Excel, REST API, RSS and MySQL/Postgres databases for ALL charts. Finally, I created a data mart infrastructure to allow predefinition of reusable data feeds from multiple sources/servers on the internet.
The ‘Live Preview’ link (click here and above) shows a full featured version of the script in the cloud. Create some dashboards and colloaborate with your associates and have at it.

NEW FEATURES
Tablet Friendly Desktop computers (soon even laptops) are becoming obsolete. In version 5, I “re-laid out” version 4’s drag & drop interface to be tablet / pen stylus friendly. Any dashboard that can be built with your desktop and mouse can be built on an iPad or similar tablet, with or without a stylus (even though it is ideal to use a pen). |
More New Draglets Version 5’s features new class of draglets that form animated dashboard and infographic templates that are both live and interactive. Version 4’s draglets are mostly individual charts (highcharts, mapbox, d3js, etc). |
Draglet Marketplace To allow for extensibility and contribution, wordpress has its plug-in architecture and drupal has its modules. Version 5 has been rearchitected so that “draglets” can be developed by 3rd parties to extend the functionality of version 5. A marketplace for these draglets has been developed so that developers can contribute/sell new charts, dashboard or infographic templates, complete dashboard applications for the community to use. Visit dragletmarketplace.dataninja.biz and stay tuned. Lots more to come! |
Data Marts Version 5 comes with the ability to pre-define data sources as data marts that can be reused across different charts and dashboards. This is very powerful new feature is described in more detail in the documenation. Like version 4, version 5 data sources can reside in other servers aside from where the designer resides. This is by design and allows the collaborative nature of the designer. |
MySQL, Postgres, Excel, CSV, Rest API Support The data feed formats version 5 supports has been expanded from JSON only to CSV, Excel, REST API RSS, MySQL and Postgres databases. Version 4 started this for Highcharts. Version 5 has this for all chart types available today including the left nav draglets for full flexibility. |
New Documentation Updated documentation including video tours of version 5 along with a schematic tour of its user interface and step by step instructions for performing key features and installing the script. Click here to check out. |
AUTHOR’S NOTE ON SCRIPT: see blog post – Author’s Note: PHP Dashboard 5
REMINDER ON EXTENDED LICENSES Just a friendly reminder that there are two different license levels at codecanyon.net. The regular license is for single FREE user use. If you have multiple clients or charging clients for functionality from this script, then an extended license is the appropriate level. It’s only fair as I do spend a lot of time tuning these scripts. And more sales/revenues means I can code more features and it has come to my attention that many purchasers are using my script for commercial (for pay) purposes with just the regular license. Thanks for you support. Click for more details – Regular vs. Extended License Comparison
