First privately, then publicly and commercially. I’ve grown quite a business around it and being an ExpressionEngine add-on developer has brought me lots of travel opportunities, fun and even friends. Now, with my add-on ventures set to simmer, it’s time for a change on the menu.

For example, select a brand first, then a model of that brand. The second <select> element should then only contain options that are relevant to first selection. There are numerous ways of doing this, but here’s my preferred method.

All my premium add-ons are ready to roll, and Low GoogleSearch even runs on EE4 without any changes whatsoever. Speaking of LGS…

That is to say, you should be able to use any HTML, CSS or JavaScript of your choice; I will never force you to use specific markup or a JavaScript library in order to use a Low add-on.

Here are my plans.

Deliberately, because this particular feature has always been a tough nut to crack, especially without the unlimited resources of, say, Google. However, today’s new release, codename The Nutcracker, does just that.

While these changes are a Good Deal for EE, it does come with a couple of gotchas. Here is one that directly affects one of my add-ons.

In fact, that’s the whole point of the DPP. The next version of ExpressionEngine is imminent, and it comes with a change that will affect one of my add-ons: Low Search.

Most of the time, really. And most of the time, I love it. I love that I have a choice in when and where I work, and what I work on. But sometimes, not having colleagues or likeminded people around really is something I miss. That is why I also love going to conferences.
