WHAT IS PHP DASHBOARD VERSION 4.0?
PHP Dashboard v4.0, builds on top one of my other popular scripts HTML5 Dashboard Designer for the Cloud
but leverages the power of PHP/MySQL to create a collaborative platform for dashboard creation and sharing.
NEW!!! COLLABORATION FUNCTIONALITY
- Multi tenant – users can set up their own log in and passwords
- Collaboration functionality – invite others by email to collaborate on charts
- “My Dashboards” panel – displays all dashboards you develop and maintain and those that you are collaborating on
- Brand new enhanced menu that has thumbnail display of collaborators
Along with these new collaboration features, you will still find the easy to use, drag and drop user interface that allows non-programmers (and programmers alike) to build sophisticated dashboards (think dashboards you see in your favorite sci fi/action hero/spy movies) in minutes leveraging an extensible collection of popular Javascript and jQuery data visualization plug-ins. The script currently supports Mapbox, d3js, Highcharts, Highmaps, Highstock, Leaflet.js, Datatables.js but will support many many more in the future.
This dashboard designer uses standard (non-proprietary) HTML5/jQuery/Javascript to create a very light, easy to share dashboard. Dashboards can be previewed, shared and saved, jsfiddle-style (on the cloud thru automatically generated URL links). The script also includes a code generator that generates standalone scripts (4 different flavors – HTML5 Only, HTML/jQuery, URL string, Silent Form Post) to render the dashboard you created.
Chart data can be loaded from a file in a folder where you have this script installed or typed directly into the chart’s settings panel. Finally, full source code is available with every script purchase for you to customize, extend and incorporate into your own software.
What you will find in addition, is a way to save and share dashboard ‘js-fiddle style’ and allow you along with your collaborators to continue to maintain shared dashboard. Multi-tenant support has been added that allows anyone with an email address to create an account which can be used to keep track of dashboards you’ve created or you are collaborating on with others.
