Hi Norm, Thanks, this is great _cls in combination with ktlTarget will be extremely useful for us, meaning we can do away with our slightly clumsy We're already making use of your new ktlNarrowMarginsPage and ktlDenseGrid classes. Amanda |

Hi to all, I've just completed the migration from my older http server from https://ctrnd.com to the highly reliable AWS S3 Bucket https://ctrnd.s3.amazonaws.com. The old one kept failing due to exceeding CPU usage, requests and bandwidth limits. Now this also means that you need to update the KTL_Loader.js file with the new version here: Simply overwrite the existing 5 lines from your apps with these new ones. Actually, only the line with the URL changes. Norm |

As a follow-up on the preceding message, there's another important change has been made to the KTL_Customization.js file. The top first lines have changed from this: to this: Please update accordingly, sorry for the inconvenience. |

The _bcg keyword - barcode generator - has been upgraded. It can now accept 3 parameters: size, field ID and hidden text flag "h". See Wiki here: https://github.com/cortexrd/Knack-Toolkit-Library/wiki/Keywords#_bcgsize-fieldid-h Norm |

Hey Norm, noticed that the "show app info" for both the app & ktl versions
is being displayed even though I have the values set to "false" in script.

Hi,
Your code should look similar to this in the Javascript pane: Note that it's highly recommended that the version info bar remains visible for the Developer role. It's also a button and allows doing very useful things when you click on it. That's why this line sets it by default: Norm |

I added the above script roughly an hour ago. Prior to adding it, for some
reason this weekend, the apps that contained KTL started showing the
version nfo for both our app and ktl even though the "show info" was set to
"false" for both "showappinfo" and "showktlinfo".
I like the new script above because it allows users to change the position
of app info for desktop and mobile devices. Would be nice if we could
choose what pages/views the app info is displayed or not displayed.

Hi,
1. Are you sure you have the latest code version? KTL is now at 0.13.9.
2. Did you do the server upgrade? See: #22
<#22>
3. Did you copy parts of the latest version of
https://github.com/cortexrd/Knack-Toolkit-Library/blob/prod/KTL_Customization.js
?
Your code should look similar to this in the Javascript pane:
KnackInitAsync = function ($, callback) { // Load the Knack Toolkit Library (KTL)
(window.LazyLoad = LazyLoad) && LazyLoad.js(['https://ctrnd.s3.amazonaws.com/Lib/KTL/KTL_Start.js'], () => {
loadKtl($, callback, (typeof KnackApp === 'function' ? KnackApp : null), '' /*KTL version, leave blank to get latest*/, 'min'/*min or full*/);
})
};
window.APP_VERSION = '1.0.0'; //Your App version.
window.ktlReady = function (appInfo = {}) {
var ktl = new Ktl($, appInfo);
//KTL Setup - BEGIN
ktl.scenes.setCfg({
versionDisplayName: 'KT',
})
ktl.core.setCfg({
enabled: {
versionInfo: {
viShowAppInfo: true,
viShowKtlInfo: true,
viShowToRoles: ['Developer'], //Array of Account Roles strings who can see the version info bar. Leave empty for all.
viPosX: 'right', //right, center, left
viPosY: 'top', //top, bottom
viPosXMobile: 'center', //right, center, left
viPosYMobile: 'bottom', //top, bottom
viOpacity: 70, //0 to 100
viOpacityHover: 100, //0 to 100
},
},
})
}
Note that it's highly recommended that the *version info bar* remains
visible for the *Developer* role. It's also a button and allows doing
very useful things when you click on it.
That's why this line sets it by default: viShowToRoles: ['Developer']

Jon,
I'm not sure why this happened. When in doubt, do a full code refresh by doing Ctrl+F5 to bypass the cache. Maybe you had an outdated version left in cache. But now, is it working ok, as expected (not showing)?
See my post here, I show you how to do it: #51 (reply in thread) Norm |

Introducing Keyword Options: ktlRoles and ktlTarget.These give you more flexibility over keyword application context. Which roles (including or excluding) will see its effect and applied to which CSS selector. See here for details: https://github.com/cortexrd/Knack-Toolkit-Library/wiki/Keywords#keyword-options Enjoy, |

Introducing a new Keyword Option: ktlRefVal.This new keyword option allows selecting any page element, from which the text will be extracted and used as the reference in your own "compare rules". Currently, _cfv supports it, but more will be added as requested. Go see the documentation here: https://github.com/cortexrd/Knack-Toolkit-Library/wiki/Keywords#keyword-options An example here, in Knack's Forums: https://forums.knack.com/t/dynamic-colour-coding-of-grid/14517/6 Enjoy, |

Hi to all, I've just completed a round of massive code changes in the KTL last week. The documentation has been fully updated to reflect all changes. Due to the sheer number and complexity of all the changes and their impact over several hundreds of functions, it is possible that the current version v0.14.4 may have some unexpected/negative effect on your code and app. I am really sorry if that's your case. Please create an issue if you see anything unusual or broken. Note that such important upgrades rarely happen. I always try to go in small incremental steps to avoid complications. But I had no choice in this case due to the nature of the deep changes in the keywords parsing algorithm and its data structure. I other words, the transition was unavoidable, maybe a bit painful... but well worth the effort. Here are the changes:

Hi dear KTL Users, Thank you so much for your interest in this toolkit and for helping me improve it every day. If you have a moment, I would really appreciate it if you could fill out a short survey. It’s just 26 questions and should take about 2 to 3 minutes. Here's the link: Survey Link. Choose the survey in the grid, wait for the copying process to complete, and fill in the blanks. Your feedback means a lot to me! Also, if you’re interested and with your permission, I’d love to add your short testimony, case study, and any photos you have to my website: Case Studies. Sincerely, |

Hi Alisha, Can you create a new Discussion about your requirements? We'd like to know what you are trying to achieve and what you tried that didn't work. The barcode features have several implementations: creating, reading, parsing, auto-fill fields, auto-submit forms, etc. Any information about your use case would help. Norm |

Doesn't seem to be affecting us here in Australia, but I have version locked to 0.22.19 in production. Would that older version not be affected?
(I've locked it to that version to promote stability, so maybe it worked!)

To all those affected by this issue:

You'll need to do a forced refresh by pressing Ctrl+F5 or Ctrl+Shift+R to get the latest code.
You can also clear your cache if that doesn't work.

No, I just checked, and version 0.22.19 also has the issue. It's the Knack.mixpanel_track that was problematic, causing an undefined error when accessing properties of this non-existent object. If you didn't see the error, it may simply be a fluke. Sooner or later you'd have seen it. I strongly recommend you upgrade to the latest: 0.29.2. Norm |

ALERT - Knack / KTL breaking change There has been a breaking change last night that causes KTL's inability to perform API calls when it involves a date/time field. "Date/Time Fields: Date/Time fields using calendar options now accept ISO-8601 timestamps when specifying "from" and "to" dates, regardless of the selected field format." I am currently working on this issue now. Please keep an eye on your console errors and report anything you see in this opened issue: The iFrameWnd is mostly affected from the preliminary information I have. For those who have set this up, the current solution is to disable it completely until a hotfix is released. This is done by setting the iFrameWnd to false in the ktl.core.setCfg function:
This is the preferred and recommended method. You can also use the KTL Configurator (but be sure that your code is in sync with the configurator's settings):
Stay tuned, |

Thanks Norm - all seems to function fine on our end as long as iframe Wnd is off - I did eventually figure out the real issue in make was some of our time formats were in military hours HH which didnt match the fields settings - switching any like that to hh fixed the issue - Knack was formerly very forgiving and now it isnt - probably doesn't relate to your fix but I thought I would mention it |

I haven't seen any updates here in some time. I'm checking in to see if I should look elsewhere for updates. Last I checked, the SW version was 0.29.2, but when I use the beta version, I see 1.0.5. Is there any documentation of what's been happening with the KTL between these versions? |

Hi Dan, You're at the one and only place for KTL updates. It's just that I've been too busy to write the change logs since 0.29.2. Also, I've taken some much-needed vacations. I'll try very hard to update all docs and change logs this week. BTW, I'm not sure what is 1.0.5 that you mentioned. Maybe it's your app's version? When you switch to beta, you only see KTL-beta in the version info bar, without a number. Right now, the latest prod is KTL v0.29.14 Norm |
