Next DB

v6.1.0 stable
Released 17 changes
Joomla 4 Joomla 5 Joomla 6
New Features 8
  • Data Views can refresh themselves on a timer, without reloading the page. Update the whole view or only the fields you mark, and optionally highlight what changed.
  • Visitors get a better toolbar, and you choose what each view offers: shareable links, a column chooser, rows per page and fullscreen.
  • Print is now a choice between the current page and all matching rows. Printouts have a title and leave out the site template.
  • On phones, rows become easy-to-read cards, with a Sort by dropdown, filters behind a button, and menus that open from the bottom of the screen.
  • Joomla menu item settings now apply to Data Views: Show Page Heading, Page Heading, Browser Page Title, Meta Description, Robots and Page Class.
  • Pages get a canonical address and social sharing tags. An optional setting puts the first page of rows in the page for search engines, on views open to guests.
  • Views can have a description, shown above the table and on printouts.
  • Select filters can now have their choices set in the view editor.
Changes 3
  • Data View pages now show the view's title by default, including existing views. A menu item's Page Heading takes its place, and you can turn it off per view.
  • Print has its own setting, separate from CSV export. Existing views that had export on keep Print on.
  • Data View responses are no longer stored by browsers or proxies, so a refresh always gets current rows.
Bug Fixes 6
  • Row details no longer show columns hidden from visitors, and visitors can't search, filter or sort by those columns.
  • Search and filters are now ignored on the server when a view has them turned off.
  • CSV exports can no longer run spreadsheet formulas from values in the data.
  • A Data View menu item always shows its own view, whatever view id is in the address.
  • Search and filters now work on PostgreSQL with number and date columns. Search used to fail with "The data could not be loaded".
  • A default sort on a hidden or detail-only column now works, and it also applies to the admin preview, the Visualise screen and CSV export.
