No. Not at first glance – not for me at least. What am I talking about? Of one of those ahah! moments – after minutes of cursing against the unknown. Context: a cakephp application prototype. Test on production, with debug = 0. It’s all ok and then.. I try to …
After months of insightful observation and analysis, I’ve come up with this php baby simulator. //Beware the loop while($parents->still_love_each_other_enough()) { $newborn = new Baby; } (maybe I should refactor it using cakephp or at least the MVC pattern: I’d really love to have a BabiesController) Be careful: due to inherent …
No jQuery? No problem. It’s a great chanche to explore stand-alone scripts or other ajax libraries. As an example, let me introduce Prototype Carousel. Light and easy, but probably powerful enough to suit your needs. It is done to manage every type of content(not only images: html, flash..). Thus, it …
In a project i’m working on, being unaware of super behaviours or plugins that may appear on github, i made some search to find fast and effective solutions (or ideas) for the needs at hand. Namely, performance -> caching. Needs stacked over time. I liked the idea of single query …
As we have seen in the previous post (Your own cakephp file-browser for ckeditor: part 3 – youtube videos), it’s not hard to implement a search/browser of external data sources, with the ability to embed the desired formatted media in ckeditor. Here’s a similar approach, interacting with Flickr’s API, with …
As you can see the nice people at Inventic are working on cakephp support in ORM Designer. I must confess, I’m not an hard-core old type vim only developer. I like visual tools. While cake bake is great, an Entity Relationship Diagram (with ORM exporting) is really handy, specially with …
Here we are. The basics are still the same of the first part – making you own file explorer popup and using CKEditor.insertHtml to inject the desired generated code into ckeditor. Of course, the same may be applied to webservices; including data form external sources is not harder than inserting …
In the previous post we have seen the magic of the CKEDITR.insertHtml method, and how we can use it to avoid the whole file manager thing. The first popup was used to insert files with links to download. Embedding images (thumbnails with link to full version) is easy too. The …
Many thanks to František Tröster – from Inventic http://www.inventic.cz With his permission, parts of his answer to my previous post are published here, with my comments, as a follow-up. I appreciate the fast and detailed answer – it shows they really care about their product, and user feedback. I’m a …
I’m trying ORM Designer, so I’d like to share my impressions. (Yes, that’s only to get my 20% discount, of course.) I tried to design a simplified database structure, for prototyping a simple application – a cakephp side project i had in mind. The first impression was good: the interface …
