Honeypot for Zend Framework

on April 21, 2010. in Development, Programming. A 1 minute read.

I just hacked up a little code snippet based on Matthew’s Honeypot Wordpress plugin. It’s basically just a Validator for a Zend Form element which is hidden from the user via CSS. Cause it’s hidden, users won’t see it, but spambots will, well, cause they are bots.

Toggler

on February 04, 2010. in Development, Programming. A 2 minute read.

At the office we’re starting out on a new project, which will require (thanks to our designer) a lot off divs and images and whatnot to slide up and down. All these elements will of course have it’s own ID’s and classes, so writing one function to slide/toggle them all is impossible, plus the design of these elements is so weird that the built-in animation effects are of no use. So I hacked together my first! jQuery plugin which will hopefully help us with this task.

Book review - jQuery 1.3 with PHP

on January 06, 2010. in Development, Programming. A 3 minute read.

Although I never wrote about jQuery here, I use it quite often and can pull of nice tricks with it. Also, bending any jQuery plugin to my will, was never a problem. But enough about me, you’re here cause of the book.

Bad Firebug!

on December 21, 2009. in Development, Programming, Software. A 3 minute read.

We all know about Firebug, probably the best developer add-on out there, and how awesome it is and how many times it helped us debug some nasty Javascript code, mess around with CSS and HTML on-the-fly, to track the time load of every external page element our app loads… It’s so cool that it even has it’s own add-ons! (FirePHP, YSlow and FireCookie). Really, it helps our developer lives to suck a bit less.

Chaining routes in Zend Framework

on November 27, 2009. in Development, Programming. A 2 minute read.

On a forum, there was a question today, about adding language “support” to the routes using Zend Framework. The guy wanted routes like /en/foo/bar or /de/baz. I wrote there an example for that using Zend_Router_Routes_Chain, so just posting that example here, too :)

on November 22, 2009. in Development, Programming. A 1 minute read.

On the 19th and 20th of this month, the third Zend Framework Bug Hunt days were held. I joined the party for the first time and I say, it was a jolly good one!

A few days ago I finished reading Keith Pope's book titled “Zend Framework 1.8 Web Application Development”, so, after letting it “rest” in my mind for a while, here are my thoughts on it…

Playing with Zend_Navigation and routes

on August 09, 2009. in Development, Programming. A 4 minute read.

O hai. First things first - someone should slap me for being such a lazy blogger. Somehow I lost all the motivation I had in the beginning, but looks like it’s back now :) I finally had the time to play around with the latest Zend Framework version (v 1.9 now). I managed to skip the whole 1.8.x version, so this whole Zend_Application stuff is quite new to me. I spent a few days poking around the manual and the code to make it work. And it works! Yey for me! And yey for Rob Allen for his post on Bootstrapping modules in ZF 1.8!

Wordpress as CMS tutorial

on March 14, 2009. in Development, Programming, Software. A 7 minute read.

Wordpress is one of the best blogging platforms out there — if not the best. It’s very powerful, can be easily extended and modified. It’s documentation is very well written and, so far, had answer to all of my crazy questions :)
