I moved to a new location on the web. :) 61924.nl I’m closing this website after a week or two.

Further development of Shinobu

2009-03-03T02:36:38Z

To be honest I ran out of ideas for the 0.2 release and kept thinking about a rewrite that’ll look more like an mvc frameWork. After some (serious) thinking I discovered that there is still a lot to improve. Stuff like: Database support. I haven’t been able to make db layers for PosgreSQL and SQL. I might need help with these two. The administration panel. Adding users, file manager and submenus for the main navigation. Url rewrite support for more webservers like Lighttpd and Nginx (and maybe more). And more documentation… There’s probably more to improve, but that’ll come later. I’m not sure when I’ll start, but it should not take too long. Well, I hope the people who use Shinobu will like this, bye. :)

Shinobu 0.2.2

2009-02-09T08:08:53Z

0.2.2 is ready and I fixed and improved various things from 0.2.1! Download it right now or try it at OpenSourceCMS .

Shinobu 0.2!

2009-01-07T11:59:15Z

Yes! It’s stable and ready to use! You can get you copy here at the download page. This is actually “got everything ready and working” release. This means that there are still some things that could be done better, but is planned for 0.4. Bug reports or feature requests can be posted here Issues or mailed to me. Or you can post a comment here. :) EDIT January 8th, 2009: Fixed an issue in the installer. It was found thanks to the staff at OpenSourceCMS. And there is also an online demo.

valid_xdebug_var_dump()

2009-01-05T12:38:58Z

xdebug_var_dump() doesn’t output valid xHTML. And I don’t like that. So I wrote a simple function that does output valid xHTML. :) function valid_xdebug_var_dump() { $get_args = func_get_args(); $num_args = func_num_args(); // Capture output from var_dump() ob_start(); for ($i = 0; $i < $num_args; ++$i) xdebug_var_dump($get_args[$i]); $var_dump = trim(ob_get_contents()); ob_end_clean(); // Make the html valid and return it $var_dump = str_replace( array('

Shinobu 0.2b2

2008-12-12T15:00:17Z

Yes! The second beta of Shinobu is ready and can be downloaded from here: http://code.google.com/p/shinobu/downloads/list Here’s a list of changes: Changed some things in the database. Menu items that link to external pages. Removed 960 CSS grid. Added CSS file for the TinyMCE content box. Pages plugin: pages can now have a status (Draft or Published). User description is now displayed at the user profile. Updated SimpleText parser. Quotes and lists aren’t supported yet. Copied the currently used functions from the UTF-8 library so the library can be removed. Shinobu now runs as twice as fast. Fixed bug in the installer. Update for SimpleText parser. Fixed all known XSS vulnerabilities. Added new variable to the config file, $cookie_name. Added a alternative for mysql_set_charset(), because it requires PHP 5.2.3. The stable release should be ready in a week or two. I’ll get some demos up by then.

Komodo Edit 5 Macro

2008-12-03T16:47:31Z

Made something I needed, a macro for Komodo Edit 5. It’s still very slow, but I don’t really care. ^^ /* --- Komodo Edit 5 Macro Trim Trailing Whitespace --- */ // Strip whitespace from the end of a string function rtrim(string) { return string.replace(/\s+$/, ''); } // http://www.qodo.co.uk/blog/javascript-trim-leading-and-trailing-spaces/ function trim(string) { string = string.replace(/(^\s*)|(\s*$)/gi, ''); string = string.replace(/[ ]{2,}/gi, ' '); string = string.replace(/\n /, "\n"); return string; } // Run try { var view = ko.views.manager.currentView; var scimoz = view.scimoz; // Strip whitespaces at the end of the lines for (var x=0; x < scimoz.lineCount; x++) { scimoz.gotoLine(x); scimoz.lineEndExtend(); scimoz.replaceSel(rtrim(scimoz.selText)); } // Strip whitespaces and linebreaks // at the end and beginning of th code scimoz.text = trim(scimoz.text); } catch(e) { ko.dialogs.internalError(e, 'Error: '+e); }

Shinobu 0.2b1

2008-12-02T09:29:00Z

Finally!! I got a beta ready of my open source cms. :) It isn’t the greatest cms ever and I can’t do much, but I’ve got a lot planned. At the moment is has a simple user system, support for multiple languages, it has a menu (duh!!) and a simple pages system. I hope this is useful to other people and that they are willing to help me improve it. :) Visit the Google Code Project for more info and downloads. And issues can be reported here.

Fun with Phenny

2008-11-24T14:10:08Z

Update – November 26th, 2008: Changed some things in the code. Phenny is an irc-bot written in python. And it’s pretty simple to add modules on it. I’m not an expert in Python, but I’m able to write some simple things. Today I wrote something for fun, .kill. That’s a command to kill someone or yourself. Well, it doesn’t kill you, it only says something like: ‘You are dead’. It fetches a random ‘kill quote’ from a database and displays it. :)

Shinobu on Google Code

2008-10-13T14:45:57Z

Today I have moved Shinobu from Assembla to Google Code, which can be found here http://code.google.com/p/shinobu/. From now on you can find the downloads, svn code and manuals there. Issues/bugs can also be reported at the Google Code page. That was all. :)

Gzipping CSS and Javascript files

2008-10-04T08:06:05Z

There are a number of methods for this, with PHP or with the Apache Gzip module. To enable Gzip compression for PHP pages you have to set zlib.output_compression to On, but that doesn’t work on CSS and javascript files. For those files you could use the Apache Gzip module, but what if you don’t have that module because you have shared hosting (like me)?

ImgBrowz0r 0.2.2!

2008-09-26T12:08:07Z

Today I have released version 0.2.2 of ImgBrowz0r. This version contains some bugfixes and a new feature. Check the project page for downloads and more information. Big thanks goes to Serge Timakov who mailed me a patch that allows non-latin characters in category names. I have ImgBrowz0r on the following websites, visit those if you would like to review or rate ImgBrowz0r. :) Hotscripts PHP Classes Freshmeat

New stuff

2008-09-20T11:11:23Z

I’ve put some new things on my website. If you look at the projects section you’ll see that there is a new project, 640px. It’s a simple css grid for simple website. I made it for this website and I’m now releasing it. And there is also a new section/page, Webdesign. That’s the place where I will put my webdesigns I made for clients, and themes/styles/skins for FluxBB and other systems.

A Gallery

2008-09-11T11:31:03Z

I finally got my ImgBrowz0r class working on Frog CMS. :) Now I have a gallery to show my 2d creations.

ImgBrowz0r 0.2.1

2008-09-04T08:44:35Z

A bugfix release. I found a bug in version 0.2, thumbnails where created everytime a category was viewed, because the cached thumbnails couldn’t be found. This bug is fixed in version 0.2.1. Updated as soon as possible, because version 0.2 has very slow loading times.

ImgBrowz0r demo

2008-09-04T07:49:12Z

I’ve uploaded a demo installation of ImgBrowz0r (0.2). Here is the address: http://61924.wepwnyou.net/public/demos/imgbrowz0r/.

ImgBrowz0r 0.2!!!

2008-09-03T11:42:06Z

Yes, finally I can release it. It was already finished a week ago, but I had to make a manual. Stupid manual… 0.2 has some good improvements. See the changelog for more info. You can download ImgBrowz0r 0.2 at the same page. If you find bugs (in the script itself or in the manual) or need help, feel free to contact me. Regards, Frank

Under construction

2008-08-30T10:39:39Z

I’m currently rebuilding my website. All the old stuff will be back in a few days. :) The first thing that are going to be finished are the front page and the blog. After that I’ll be making a section for my projects. Once all that is done I’ll add a gallery and a contact page. Regards, Frank
