Comment on Configuring Nette in Neon by Petr 'PePa' Pavel

Thanks for the explanation and heads up on the macros syntax.
To me, there’s no difference between “hacking” and proper configuration in Nette. It’s all magic, pieces of code that I see someone using in the forum. The line that you draw between “good” and “bad” is artificial, in my opinion. I bet that in a few months time you yourself will consider today’s good practices outdated and inappropriate.

Hi, just to be clear, I’ve removed that part with user namespace from doc, because it’s for configuration options, not for services “hacking”. If you’re interested, you may send a pullrequest (I will do it eventually, but not in near future), so we could write this

nette:
    user:
        namespace: myName

There is already syntax for macros, that is not yet in stable, so it’s not in documentation http://doc.nette.org/cs/configuring/nette-framework?rev=12#toc-sablony

Comment on You thought using Skype was secure? by Petr 'PePa' Pavel

Haven’t thought of using Adminer, good idea! It’s not difficult either if you already have Apache/PHP running on the same computer as Skype (I know you do):
- upload Adminer to your web root and open it in your browser
- switch “System” to “SQLite 3″
- paste path to your main.db file (see above in this article) into “Database”
- click Login

It’s fun to browse the database. You can use Adminer to easily export your Skype contacts, for instance.

Comment on Dynamic snippets for repeated forms by Petr 'PePa' Pavel

To be honest, no. I've had my share of problems getting my code published in docs. The admins are always quick to delete the whole text if they find it's not clean enough. That's why I started posting to my blog instead. I understand the rules shouldn't be as strict at Planette however, I just gave up. Feel free to link to me though.

Just wondering about the topic, don’t you want to add this to Planette?

It works! :) Very nice, this could be an issue in github ;).
I see one advantage for user itself – if I delete some user, I usually loose history with him (afaik). It is accessible in memoriam via this.

Spread the word, “great” finding :).
(Made me download SQLite browser. Don’t you have quick howto for Adminer? Thx.)

Comment on Converting hexadecimal RGB code to decimal with a bookmarklet by T.J. Crowder

T.J. Crowder — Fri, 23 Mar 2012 10:47:28 +0000

Neat! Maybe handle three-character versions as well, and allow repeated use, e.g. (live copy | source):

var hexa, rgb;

hexa = prompt('Enter a hexadecimal RGB code (# optional):');
while (hexa) {
  if (hexa.charAt(0) === '#') {
    hexa = hexa.substring(1);
  }
  if (hexa.length === 3) {
    hexa = hexa.charAt(0) + hexa.charAt(0) +
           hexa.charAt(1) + hexa.charAt(1) +
           hexa.charAt(2) + hexa.charAt(2);
  }
  if (hexa.length !== 6) {
    rgb = "(Invalid, must be 3 or 6 characters.)";
  }
  else {
    rgb = [
      parseInt(hexa.substring(0,2), 16),
      parseInt(hexa.substring(2,4), 16),
      parseInt(hexa.substring(4,6), 16)
    ].join(' ');
  }
      
  hexa = prompt(hexa + ' converts to the RGB below.\n' +
                'Enter another or Cancel to stop',
                rgb);
}

Comment on Repeated forms on the same page by Petr 'PePa' Pavel

Thanks! I really wish this stuff was in the documentation.

A note for everyone: Please don’t suggest that I add it to the docs myself. These guys have their own funny rules for what should be included and what shouldn’t.

Comment on Absolute positioning in HTML e-mails for Outlook 2007 by Greg Bulmash

Greg Bulmash — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 23:14:09 +0000

Dude, thanks. This worked great. One bit to note for people needing to do this for multiple table cells… use different names AND different z-indexes for each cell’s shapes. I needed to fill 2 cells and did the backgrounds both at -1 with the foregrounds both at 1, the background wouldn’t show on the second cell. When I changed the background to 2 and the foreground to 3 on the second cell, both displayed nicely.
