I have been using all of the lastest versions of WebAssist's extensions using MySQLi, specifically when I have had occasion to use eCart. It brings back memories of the golden past when Dreamweaver was at its height with the inclusion of the server behaviours panels. Ray has also been very helpful when I have had to use different payment gateways, sometimes spending 4 hours and charging for one. All in all, thumbs up.

Having said that, I have fallen in love with client-side processing of data. It allows for very fast data manipulation without having to traffic back and forth to the server. An added feature is that page refresh is a thing of the past. In this regard, large database tables of more than 3K records are better processed on the server-side.

I guess that in the end it's all a matter of taste.

Wappler is the DMXzone-made Dreamweaver replacement and includes the best of their powerful extensions, as well as much more!

    Not sure why a page refresh should be a thing of the past, its still relevant if you're processing a product details page, which uses a different page template. On the other hand if your processing some kind of form data or simple search app using client side processing is a smoother experience. I think its more a question of where to use which one rather than one being a better solution than the other.

    Thanks for your first-hand explanations Teodor.

    One question, is it possible, for the construction of relatively complex intranets, to use handwritten code within the wrappler framework in a simple way? I do not know if it is a product that is designed for this type of work or not, we often have to program intranets that are certainly different from the concept of website and we have to write a lot of code by hand.

    We are used to using dreamweaver with various extensions (we own many extensions of webassist and dmxzone) for tasks that can be done and mixed with code written by us for tasks that can not be done by extensions because they are very specific and "pecualiary".

    Thank you!


    I don't think of something that cannot be achieved, but could you provide an example of what was the last thing you couldn't be able to achieve using an extension and what was required to be hand-coded?

    We have customers building really complex intranet systems for huge corporations including custom made reservation systems for rooms, user management systems, shopping solutions, messaging apps etc. so i think there isn't anything related to databases and dynamic data, which cannot be achieved.
