Way back in 2013, I posted about using ColdFusion to pull data from an iTunes-capable RSS and CFFEED’s funkiness with it. For that post, I just put the bit of code that took the RSS contents and put it into a DB. It was a script for a client, that […]
I initially planned my first actual post to be on setting up Zend in a hosted environment. I’ve done what I think is needed, but I haven’t actually tested it due to the lack of a true hosted environment to push to just yet (I’ll have it before the end […]
For our final application recode from ColdFusion to PHP, we hit on needing to do some custom form elements. We’d already done custom form view helpers to implement Bootstrap design (which I’ll cover in-depth as either a separate series or as part of the An Eclectic World Recode series). This, […]
This will hopefully be the start of a series of posts on my latest personal web project, updating my personal website An Eclectic World. This will be a big update, including: Flipping from ColdFusion with the Mach-II framework to PHP with Zend Framework 2 Flipping the database from PostgreSQL to […]
The current application I'm working on has multiple "wizards", i.e. multi page forms that store data between the pages, allow moving back and forth, and so on. These wizards have some things in common, so I have a base controller their individual controllers all extend to access that common functionality, […]
As I mentioned previously, I've been learning WordPress stuff over the last few weeks for a client. Recently we discovered her RSS feed wasn't working in some checkers, so I checked it and found that the resulting XML had indention before the first few lines. Now, personally I think its […]
Wow, it's been nearly two months since my last post! Whoops! I'm still around, it's been a strange mix of quiet and hectic lately. Quiet in that we wrapped up our first PHP Zend project and got it out the door. Thus far it's worked pretty well other than the occasional completely […]
Before I continued on some more, I realized I needed to "fix" my MovieShelves module to make it's routes more uniquely named, otherwise it will conflict with other modules. 😛 I also updated my app to bring the DataTables code to 1.10 standards and to do a few visual tweaks. […]
Now it's time to build an authentication system for our application, so that we have public stuff for browsing while all the add/edit/delete functions are secured. There are of course a variety of ways to authenticate users and Zend has adapters for several popular ones including DB, the somewhat antiquated […]
Before I started with the expansion of the Zend app I did in the last series, I went through all the models and redid them in the manner I did the Movies one. I decided I liked it better for a few reasons: Cleaner file structure – having a bunch of folders […]
