Setting up containers for different sites and copying tags, rules and macros between them however is a real pain in the ass. GTM at the moment doesn’t support this, however, with a little Greasemonkey magic, everything is possible. That is how the Google Tag Manager Import Export script was born. https://www.maschek.hu/2009/09/searching-for-an-online-css-editor/ Tue, 29 Sep 2009 23:11:00 +0200 https://www.maschek.hu/2009/09/searching-for-an-online-css-editor/ I was quite surprised I didn’t find any good online css editors. I have a simple textarea of css selectors and attributes, and I wish to offer some kind of help to the user in editing those rules. The best tool I found is called Sky CSS Tool, and it does a lot of fancy things I like, however it doesn’t support attribute generation from the CSS Code itself. Also the project is pretty much left alone for a number of years. https://www.maschek.hu/2009/07/imgmap-2.2-is-available/ Sun, 26 Jul 2009 17:07:00 +0200 https://www.maschek.hu/2009/07/imgmap-2.2-is-available/ The new release has improved support for IE8, contains two new examples how to use the library with ExtJS and Xinha, and also comes with a brand new Xinha plugin. Watch out, plugins and AIR executable now come as a separate download! You can grab the latest pack and plugins here or here. Version 2.2 changelog: * Updated excanvas to r3 - should solve IE8 problems * Added Example with ExtJs integration, thanks to Colin Bell https://www.maschek.hu/2009/05/rip-duke-nukem-forever-...for-ever/ Thu, 07 May 2009 20:33:00 +0200 https://www.maschek.hu/2009/05/rip-duke-nukem-forever-...for-ever/ Well, i usually dont blog about games, but this is something historical:) We have all been waiting for the sequel of the popular game Duke Nukem for well over 10 years, and it seems like the wait is over. 3D Realms went broke, and it is questionable if the game will ever be finished. As Guardian newspaper games writer Steve Boxer said: “Sadly, Duke Nukem Forever was the most aptly named title in the history of games. https://www.maschek.hu/2009/04/sugarcrm-roadshow-lisbon-2009/ Sun, 26 Apr 2009 11:56:00 +0200 https://www.maschek.hu/2009/04/sugarcrm-roadshow-lisbon-2009/ DRI is organizing an open SugarCRM event again. The event takes place in Lisbon, 19th of May. I had the honor to take part in the project GalpShare, which will be featured as one of the case studies. If you are in or around Lisbon, don’t miss it!:) This is an archive post. It represents a point of view in the past.

Cal recently moved to The Netherlands to join iBuildings, before as we know he was doing the Zend podcasts from the US. (What happened with the podcasts anyway? I loved to listen them while going to work.) The techPortal already has some nice articles, like debugging development and getting started with phpUnderControl, and it also promotes the 2009 WinPHP Challenge. https://www.maschek.hu/2009/03/energiapositiva.pt/ Wed, 25 Mar 2009 23:19:00 +0100 https://www.maschek.hu/2009/03/energiapositiva.pt/ I am glad to announce that last week DRI and Galp published a new social networking portal called energiapositiva.pt. The portal itself mainly targets Portuguese audience and it has a nifty little application with which one can advertise and participate in car-sharing. Comes handy in times of crisis:) I had the honor to participate in the project and would like to hereby congratulate the guys over at DRI for making the impossible possible:) Bom trabalho, pah! https://www.maschek.hu/2009/03/website-down-update/ Mon, 23 Mar 2009 21:47:00 +0100 https://www.maschek.hu/2009/03/website-down-update/ …alright, a couple of days ago i had some problems with the DNS records, today the server hardware gave up that runs maschek.hu.

To satisfy my curiosity, i have put together a little web application called European Job Search. It still has some minor flaws, but already can give results you wouldn’t expect (many php jobs in the Czech Republic, anyone?). The map itself is SVG based (see my previous posts about building it), and i am sorry to say, but it will NOT work for Internet Explorer users. https://www.maschek.hu/2009/01/jquery-1.3-released/ Wed, 14 Jan 2009 17:44:00 +0100 https://www.maschek.hu/2009/01/jquery-1.3-released/ Marking the 3rd birthday of jQuery, John has released version 1.3.

You can grab the latest pack here or here. Version 2.1 changelog: Separated most drawing-specific and gui-specific codes. This means easier integration with ANY kind of user interface. GUI specific functions went to default_interface.js JSDoc toolkit based documentation using modified outline template of JProton. Updated all examples to use separate interface code and map handling code. https://www.maschek.hu/2008/12/the-w3c-mobileok-checker/ Mon, 22 Dec 2008 16:04:00 +0100 https://www.maschek.hu/2008/12/the-w3c-mobileok-checker/ Woohoo, W3C created a new validator for us. Is YOUR site mobile-friendly? Mine only reached 62/100, most penalties i got because of not using XHTML markup, using a table for layout and using absolute units in my CSS. I should improve, even microsoft.com scores 80 :) This is an archive post. It represents a point of view in the past.

I haven’t done any SVG for many years and I was curious how the browsers support them by the end of 2008. The overall picture would be quite satisfying, if our good old friend Internet Explorer wouldn’t ruin it all. The root of all problems is that IE6 and IE7 (i have no info on IE8) do not support SVG natively but by using the external Adobe SVG Viewer, which is going to be discontinued BTW. https://www.maschek.hu/2008/12/save-the-developers-dead/ Thu, 04 Dec 2008 16:50:00 +0100 https://www.maschek.hu/2008/12/save-the-developers-dead/ Earlier this year i blogged about a website called www.savethedevelopers.org (link missing on purpose). Originally the site was recommending other browsers than Explorer 6, namely: IE7, Firefox, Safari and Opera. As for today the site redirects to a Get Internet Explorer page, more ironically if you do a google search for “save the developers”, the same site appears on the top of the list. To restore the healthy ecosystem of the Internet, I suggest all of us remove our links from this site:) https://www.maschek.hu/2008/12/geolocation-solutions-on-the-web/ Wed, 03 Dec 2008 17:59:00 +0100 https://www.maschek.hu/2008/12/geolocation-solutions-on-the-web/ …ok, so you want a killer web app that will locate the position of the current visitor? No problem. Here are the tools of the trade. (Your requirements may vary, for me, i want Lat/Long information, with regards to the KISS principle) 1. IP to location databases Typical providers include ip2location, ipligence, maxmind. They are usually expensive, static, and just too big. The concept is that you have a big database downloaded and monthly updated, and you can open that database to get the location info from whatever platform you want. https://www.maschek.hu/2008/11/online-collage-creator/ Wed, 19 Nov 2008 19:53:00 +0100 https://www.maschek.hu/2008/11/online-collage-creator/ …so i was enthusiastic about the new Picasa collage maker, and i thought to myself i could easily re-create it in the web with the help of canvas, when …darn …i am late again:) Even without googling i accidentally came across the high quality implementation of Ernest Delgado (demo here, details here). Good job Ernest, I will keep an eye on you! Note to self: need more eyes. This is an archive post. https://www.maschek.hu/2008/11/picasa-3-round-the-corner/ Sun, 16 Nov 2008 13:03:00 +0100 https://www.maschek.hu/2008/11/picasa-3-round-the-corner/ Still beta (you can easily get it from filehippo), but brings around some nice new features. I have been playing around with it a little bit, things i liked most: * Photo Viewer is a real eye-candy, it replaces your default application for double click, it loads relatively fast, and has some nice user interaction features (try your scroll wheel on the image itself, and on the film band). * Collage maker - it has a killer interface to create the photo pile of your wish, resize, rotate, move your images one by one. https://www.maschek.hu/2008/11/feedburner-vs.-simplepie/ Fri, 14 Nov 2008 15:29:00 +0100 https://www.maschek.hu/2008/11/feedburner-vs.-simplepie/ …ok, so for a while i was wondering why my website doesnt show my latest blog entries. I am using SimplePie to fetch the latest RSS feed from FeedBurner and display the last five items. At the beginning i was suspicious of the cache mechanism, but even if i turn off caching completely, it will not fetch the latest feed. So i dugg myself into the internals of SimplePie and it turned out that when it fetches the feed from FeedBurner, it is presented a redirect to http://feedproxy. https://www.maschek.hu/2008/10/street-view-arrives-to-the-iberian-peninsula/ Fri, 31 Oct 2008 21:48:00 +0100 https://www.maschek.hu/2008/10/street-view-arrives-to-the-iberian-peninsula/ Apart from some new Italian cities, Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia and Sevilla are on the map now!

When even all of my non-geek friends are talking about Google Chrome, then Google has shot a big gun again. It was completely kept secret as far as i know and out of the blue they introduce this new browser that has some really neat features despite being an early version. https://www.maschek.hu/2008/09/get-file-path-in-firefox-3-revisited/ Sat, 20 Sep 2008 13:24:00 +0200 https://www.maschek.hu/2008/09/get-file-path-in-firefox-3-revisited/ Because my previous entry on the subject is one of the most popular entries in my blog, yet the solution is not satisfactory (you have to get your users to mess with about:config), i decided to take a second look at the problem. Just as a reminder: in Firefox 3 when you try to access a file input’s value property, it only gives you the filename, whereas earlier versions (and some other browsers at the moment) would give you the full path. https://www.maschek.hu/2008/09/my-first-photosynth/ Sat, 20 Sep 2008 13:16:00 +0200 https://www.maschek.hu/2008/09/my-first-photosynth/ If you haven’t heard about photosynth yet, it is Microsoft’s shiny new tool to create …erm …photosynths!

Now we have at least a dozen, and the number is growing. I have always wondered what similarities/differences they have, who knows, i might use one of them in the future. The answer comes from Eric Meyer, who has made some comparisons recently, which was summed up Jeremy Keith in this article. A good reading if you have two minutes. https://www.maschek.hu/2008/08/reduce-the-size-of-your-svg/ Tue, 12 Aug 2008 22:41:00 +0200 https://www.maschek.hu/2008/08/reduce-the-size-of-your-svg/ …so recently i was playing with SVG, and i wanted to embed an older version of this map of Europe into my html . Currently it is about 500 KB, but as far as i remember, it was even heavier. Pretty bad, if you want to inline it, and your visitors have to download it. So how did i reduce the size to one tenth of it? gzip? Yes, gzipped version of SVG exists, but not when you inline it, so its a no-go in my case. https://www.maschek.hu/2008/08/ext-2.2-is-out-but-where-are-the-old-releases-update/ Sat, 09 Aug 2008 12:21:00 +0200 https://www.maschek.hu/2008/08/ext-2.2-is-out-but-where-are-the-old-releases-update/ If you like Ext JS, the new 2.2 version brings out some nice features for you. No question Ext is a great library and worth to play with, despite the recent disputes around the license change from LGPL to GPL. My only frustration with Ext was only a few days ago, when i was about to make modifications in an open source project that had an earlier Ext 2.0 bundled, but not fully! https://www.maschek.hu/2008/08/javascript-documentation-tools/ Fri, 01 Aug 2008 01:11:00 +0200 https://www.maschek.hu/2008/08/javascript-documentation-tools/ …so you were a good programmer and you have added javadoc style comments in front of your javascript functions/classes/methods? Good boy! Now lets see what you can do with them. Solutions in order from worst to best (just to keep you entertained): Javascript Documentor (JSD) It is java based what would be super useful in ant scripts, however it expects me to write comments like: 1 2 3 /// <name>MyFunction</name> /// <param name="param1">The first parameter passed in. https://www.maschek.hu/2008/07/online-ocr/ Tue, 29 Jul 2008 00:03:00 +0200 https://www.maschek.hu/2008/07/online-ocr/ I was thinking recently how to speed up in an intelligent way the creation of image maps with my online utility. Often users try to map images like this: The user will select “Home” and try to map it, giving it an url, adding an alt attribute. Now what if we could prefill the alt attribute with the text “Home”? Optical character recognition (OCR) in javascript? Wow, that would rock! https://www.maschek.hu/2008/07/the-slow-echo/ Mon, 28 Jul 2008 13:59:00 +0200 https://www.maschek.hu/2008/07/the-slow-echo/ …so i was about to profile a web application written in php, and as all of us does when doing so, i scattered the code around echoing microtime differences. (Ok, ok, some of you might use log instead.) To my greatest surprise the part where the application showed significant slowdown in some cases, was a simple echo statement. Well, i wont be able to optimize that, will i? Why can this be happening? https://www.maschek.hu/2008/07/sugarcrm-redundant-indexes/ Fri, 25 Jul 2008 00:25:00 +0200 https://www.maschek.hu/2008/07/sugarcrm-redundant-indexes/ …ok, so i was doing some database tuning recently to speed up one of our deployed instance of SugarCRM, when i became alert of an interesting phenomenon. The table accounts not only had a primary key(id), which is normal, but also had a composite key(id, deleted) named idx_accnt_id_del. Now wait a minute! Even if you perform a query with id AND deleted criteria, id already points to a single record in the table, since it is a unique primary key. https://www.maschek.hu/2008/07/web-applications-going-offline/ Sat, 19 Jul 2008 13:45:00 +0200 https://www.maschek.hu/2008/07/web-applications-going-offline/ …so you still remember the times when Internet was loud of desktop applications going online, huh? Email was one of the earliest obvious implementations, slowly followed by the more difficult applications: online document, spreadsheet, presentation editing, agenda, todo list, contact management, image editing, imagemap editing ;), etc. And you started to use one or more of these online wonders, and you were happy. Obviously sooner or later you realized you are pretty much stuck when you are offline. https://www.maschek.hu/2008/07/lolcode/ Wed, 09 Jul 2008 01:17:00 +0200 https://www.maschek.hu/2008/07/lolcode/ HAI! Seriously, did you know there is a programming language called LOLCODE? I did not, but apparently it is very popular, among the implementations we can even find PHP and Javascript parsers.

What do you get? The filename. What do you get in IE and FFX2? The filename AND the path. Well, if your script has been relying on this behaviour, you might find yourself in trouble. So far the only solution i found hides in the comments section of this post (great showcase of new functionality on the other hand btw). https://www.maschek.hu/2008/07/php-rss-parsers/ Wed, 02 Jul 2008 00:18:00 +0200 https://www.maschek.hu/2008/07/php-rss-parsers/ …so the other day i figured out that the parser i used so far (LastRss) was not able to read Atom feeds. Since our beloved Blogger only publishes atom feeds i needed to find a cure for the problem. One easy solution is to ask FeedBurner to convert between rss and atom, which works pretty well, but better not mess with the Gods, lets do it the proper way. Then i came across this blog entry, that compared some of the existing solutions. https://www.maschek.hu/2008/07/evolution-of-gmail-chat/ Tue, 01 Jul 2008 23:51:00 +0200 https://www.maschek.hu/2008/07/evolution-of-gmail-chat/ Just a short overview of how Gmail chat evolved since its first appearance. And it has to be said it works very well. However i started to be a fan of Google Talk Labs edition.

I was doing some preliminary investigations how to use Smarty with its Zend_View component. A lot of info on the web looks outdated, but i found a great blog here (and old version here). Jani is a young Finnish developer-jedi, and i really like his writings about ZF and templating engines, just to list a few of them: https://www.maschek.hu/2008/04/css-naked-day/ Tue, 08 Apr 2008 11:58:00 +0200 https://www.maschek.hu/2008/04/css-naked-day/ Tomorrow is CSS Naked Day. Strip all your styles from your webpage, if you dare! I think i won’t be that bold, but its an interesting initiative from Dustin Diaz, and so far some 700 sites have joined. This is an archive post.

Great to spread the word amongst people stuck with IE6. Although i am not that big fan of IE7 either, and i would definitely change the order of the recommendations. [UPDATE: the above link was removed. Read on here.] Why IE6 sucks? There are many issues, just to grab one, it is poor CSS support. Related to this there is a new doc from Microsoft showing the css selector support in running versions of Explorer. https://www.maschek.hu/2008/04/photoshop-express/ Tue, 01 Apr 2008 16:24:00 +0200 https://www.maschek.hu/2008/04/photoshop-express/ Adobe just released their long awaited Photoshop Express. An in-browser image manipulation solution that is supposed to have some similar feel/functionality to the desktop version. While the resemblance is quite weak, there are some nice things you can do in the Flex-based Express edition. To upload your own photos you need to register, but a test-drive is available.

Apparently the test was also changing in the meanwhile, but they are both doing pretty well anyways. What about Firefox? Well, due to the upcoming release of version 3, it is not a subject of interest at the moment. [Source: Ajaxian] This is an archive post.

It is based on jQuery and intends to be a lightweight editor that you can use to produce normal html code, but you can squeeze out bbcode, wiki or markdown syntax as well. This is an archive post.

After playing with it a bit, i figured out some of its limitations, most importantly for me, i cannot create marker events. https://www.maschek.hu/2008/03/sugar-bookmarks/ Sat, 22 Mar 2008 23:29:00 +0100 https://www.maschek.hu/2008/03/sugar-bookmarks/ At dri, we recently published our first SugarCRM project called Sugar Bookmarks.

With the help of the editor you can easily draw ALL the standard image map shapes (rectangle, circle, polygon), and you will have full control over the generated HTML code as well. The editor natively uses the canvas HTML element to draw the shapes on a given image. https://www.maschek.hu/amoba/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.maschek.hu/amoba/ [AmObA] is an open source gomoku clone for Windows thus you may freely distribute it.
