Masino Extensions for PHPMaker 2021 Is Released!

I am really glad to officially release Masino Extensions for PHPMaker 2021 today, October 7, 2020. Today, the same date as one month ago, PHPMaker 2021 was released. I actually really needed about 3 weeks to customize Masino Extensions, and one week more to test and make sure all the core-functionalities in Masino Extensions are working properly for PHPMaker 2021.

As we have already known, PHPMaker 2021 is quite difference with PHPMaker 2020. PHPMaker Developer team use MVC (Model-View-Controller) style. Almost the logic in all of Template files also have been changed so that it supports MVC, including the Custom Styles, one of the features that also must be re-write, especially for Extensions.

So, what are the features in Masino Extensions for this PHPMaker 2021? See below.

Please note, as always, in each new major version, there are also some new Language phrases were added into the XML Language Files in C:\Program Files (x86)\PHPMaker 2021\languages folder. I modified language files (Arabic, English, and Indonesian), so that you don't need to update or insert the new phrases into your XML Language Files.

As always, extract the downloaded Extensions to your C:\Program Files (x86)\PHPMaker 2021\extensions folder, afterwards enable all of them from Tools -> Extensions of your PHPMaker application. Also, extract the .xml language files into your C:\Program Files\PHPMaker 2020\languages folder.

Don't forget also, to always play with some of their Advanced settings in order to see some new settings available.

Enjoy! 🙂
