As I mentioned in my previous posts, I took the jump and moved over to GitHub. I moved over to a public repository system to make it easier on me pushing my code changes to the public (the current download system on my site isn't too intuitive). So over the past few weeks I have been slowly adding all my scripts to GitHub and pushing the code. Additionally, I have been uploading the old zipped versions of the scripts, which can be found on the respective repo's downloads page. Continue reading...

The time has arrived, I have pushed my Cupcake Forum plugin into public beta. You may now download and use the plugin as you wish, but be weary because its still in beta, so problems may arise. If you run into a bug, please post it on the new support forums (of course I'm using my own plugin!). I also want to thank Matt Curry for testing the plugin beforehand, just like he tested the Uploader plugin, so give him your thanks as well. Continue reading...

If you have been following me on Twitter, you may of heard me mention a new CakePHP plugin I am developing, a forum plugin. Well I am officially announcing it as the Cupcake Forum Plugin. It is basically complete, but I would like to run a few more tests and perhaps get an "installer" type script. Alongside this announcement, I have uploaded the forum plugin onto this domain as a demo, and will be using it as a support forum for all my scripts. Continue reading...

It has been quite a while since I posted a real entry, I just haven't worked in CakePHP for the past few weeks. Hopefully these two new scripts and the new script versions will make up for it. Continue reading...

I got pretty bored the other day and also noticed this contest over at NetTuts, and thought to myself, "Why not enter Databasic into the contest?". Well that is my plan, but I also wanted to fix some problems and restraints in the current version. The new version supports AND/OR operators in the conditions, as well the column operators (!=, <=, etc) have been rebuilt. Continue reading...

I recently needed the ability to display a list of feed items, but the catch was I needed them to be combined from multiple feeds, a feed aggregator. Its really simple, the script is a CakePHP Component that will take a list of feeds and aggregate them into a single array based on their timestamp. It works with RSS 1.0 (RDF), RSS 2.0 and Atom 1.0 and has the ability to cache its results. Continue reading...

So with my new design, I wanted a way to keep all columns around the same height, especially so the middle doesn't look awkward. To do this, I was going to use JavaScript and get the heights of each column and then calculate. A problem was that some pages do not have the right column, so I had to test to see if the column existed. To do that, all you use is the getElementById(). Continue reading...

It has been a while since I released some of my scripts, but now I have two to reveal! Well actually the Resession script has been up for nearly 2 months now, but I'm finally getting around to announcing. And without further ado, I give you Resession (Session Manager) and Decoda (A BBcode style parser). Continue reading...

So I'm releasing this fun little script I built a few months ago, it's called Numword. This script will take a number and convert it into its word equivalent. For example, 12 will become twelve, and 7 will become seven. Continue reading...

I am proud to present the new Databasic, version 2.0! Since I added quite a few new methods and functionality, rewrote and optimized most of the code, I felt it would be good to deem this version 2.0 instead of 1.11. The biggest new features in this version are support for multiple databases, using the create() method to create a database table, and the addition of many MySQL statement methods. Continue reading...
