- Obama in Berlin
Barack Obama spoke in Berlin today. It streamed live on his site using ustream.tv and topped 40000 viewers at one point! Apparently, ustream can handle quite the load.
Obama also had an awesome publicity poster, flyer, etc for the event.
- Defending Against It
I have completed wlk_defensio, a plugin utilizing the Defensio spam-fighting service. I started developing this thing awhile ago but got side-tracked with other responsibilities. While I wasn’t paying attention, the Defensio guys added OpenID logins to the accounts on their service. I love OpenID and so this only added to the pleasure I have found with their quality service.
- CakePHP Radio Fieldsets
Josh needed to output a cakePHP radio button set without the radio button’s around it. We looked at the API, the docs, etc. We just could not figure it out (
'fieldset'=>false? or maybe'fieldset'=>null?). Nope.So Josh went off looking and found out you just set
'legend'=>falsein the input option’s array:echo $form->input('user_need', array('option'=>$radios, 'legend'=>false));…yes, a user can only have one need at a time….muwahaha
Also, you can also select which radio button is “active” on page load using “checked”=>[the value].
- Fixing cakeAMFphp in cake1.2
We were in the process of updating an older application to work with AMFPHP and cake1.2. We were getting some fairly serious errors on the AMFPHP connection.
We found that one part of the fix was to comment out line 177 in cake_gateway.php and add in a require_once of your app_controller.php file. (This assumes you have an application directory-level app_controller.php file.)
//loadController(null); require_once('app_controller.php');We were unable to get App::import(), the new method of loading items in cakePHP 1.2, to work in a similar manner as the loadController() method.
- Is this plugin helpful?
Here’s a new plugin called wlk_helpful. I just finished the installation portion of the plugin this evening (auto-creation of the database tables).
This is a Textpattern article rating plugin that allows users to give a thumbs up or down (yes/no, plus/minus) to an article. There is also a function that you can then use to then display a list of the most popular (positive rating) or least popular (negative rating) articles.
You can download it here. There’s also a javascript file you’ll need to make it work that can be downloaded here
This particular plugin makes liberal use of jQuery (included in your Textpattern 4.0.5 directory) to make it work well using ajax queries. Also, because of some extra work I put in on this one, you can place
<txp:wlk_helpful />in an article form that shows up in, say, a list and it will still work just fine.Just make sure you follow the installation directions which include the creation of the page that will accept the ajax requests.
Big ups to Jon Greene & Josh Minnich for helping me out on this one.
