On his blog, Stoyan Stefanov takes a look at using on of the most popular pieces of PHP forum software out there - phpBB - and optimizing the front-end.   During this short workshop there will be no changes to the phpBB code, we'll create a new template instead, so that in case something bad happens, your board will continue to work normally. As an example, I'll use the bgcanada.com/phpBB2, the board I volunteer to administrate.   The tutorial is broken up into sections:   The plan New subdomains Creating a new template Moving CSS to an external file, merging Copying files to the new subdomains Serving gzipped content Turning ETags off Expires header Sysadmin summary   It looks like a lot of steps, but each section is relatively short and written well so as not to have more information than needed. In the end you'll have a simple template that uses Yahoo's 14 optimization rules to make things work that much faster.

Alexey Zakhlestin gave a talk for the PHPThinktank IRC channel recently on the topic of YAML, PHP, and some of the work that he's done combining the two.   It happened a bit of spontaneously, so noone was invited. It was my first try, to make introduction to yaml for php prgrammers, and if there is more interest I will give another talk which will cover more details, this time with proper scheduling :)   You can check out the log of the discussion for his entire talk (covering topics like what YAML is, where to get more information on it, some of its features, and a mention of the Syck library for parsing it).

qOrganizer is a general organizer that includes a calendar with schedule,reminders,journal/notes for every day, to-do list.But provides features useful for students such as:timetable and a booklet for marks and absences.It's designed to be easy to use.   2.1 is a bugfix release. I am planning to make pretty radical changes to the code (like adding SQLite support to store data), school is close, the vacation is comming to an end, I don't know when I'll get those implemented so I thought I'll make a bugfix release for 2.0 to get rid of the most annoying bugs.  Changes in 2.1:  -Fixed that ugly bug that occures the first time when you run qOrganizer, the bug that causes the main window to not appear until you quit (this was Windows only) -Enforced UTF8 on the config file too, so now if you have an UTF8 character in your path, it won't cause problems. -Updated Portuguese translation. -Made the to-do list and the timetable a lot bigger in size, so now the progress bar in the Completed column is more detailed even on Windows. -Added saving, and jumping to the current date even when the window is hidden by clicking the systray icon.  That's all folks. Enjoy!   ---------------------------------------------------- The new release of qOrganizer comes loaded with many sweet features and is more polished than the previous releases.  The version number 2.0 is well deserved considering all improvements compared to 1.0.    Changes:    -Average calculation implemented to deal with subjects separately and recalculate average for the subject when the row changes in the  mark table. Also added a textfield containing the total average (all averages are rounded and their average is calculated)    -Added the ability to change the date format displayed (thanks for the patch to Evgeniy Ivanov (powerfox))    -Added a feature for uploading and downloading all data files stored by the program to a remote ftp server.  So when you go on holyday (I know it's late know :D) you just provide the details to access the ftp server hit the download button and you have immediate access to all data stored by qOrganizer.    BIG FAT NOTE: Do not use an important ftp server for this feature, also don't use untrusted ftp servers to upload sensitive data (because all data is stored unencrypted on the server).  If you are not sure that your computer is secure do not use this feature because the password to the ftp server is stored on the local machine.  I can not be hold responsible for any damage caused by this software.This program is provided WITHOUT WARRANTY, read the file COPYING for details.  But normally you should be okay.     -Added support for non Latin charsets :)  (again thanks to Evgeniy Ivanov for figuring this out and submitting a patch)    -Corrected some memory leaks.    -Added custom delegates in the tables to improve usability and the intuitively of the interface.    -Added extra menus, and made everything accessible from the menu (or with keyboard shortcuts)    -Added an option to reload data when the view changes.  This feature was suggested by Blaz Kure, it improves using multiple computers with one folder of settings stored on a network drive.    -Added a column labeled Start to represent the date when a task was started.    -Made the timetable headers translatable.    -Added sound to reminders, when a reminder hits a sound is played.  I used a sound from k3b, since it's under GPL, the file named:k3b_success1.wav.  Of course this setting can be turned off in the settings dialog.    -A lot of bug fixes!    -Added translations: Portuguese (thanks to Luis Bastos (http://programaslivres.net/)), Slovenian (thanks to Blaz Kure), Russian (thanks to Evgeniy Ivanov).    BIG THANKS TO ALL TRANSLATORS :)  AND A SPECIAL THANKS TO Evgeniy Ivanov for his contributions.     Please back up the .qOrganizer folder before upgrading, the to-do list will be broken because of the new Start column, everything else should be fine.Of course adjust all settings.    If you encounter any bugs please report them on the projects SourceForge.net (btw: thanks to SourceForge.net for hosting the project and for excellent services) page:    http://sourceforge.net/projects/qOrganizer    Or just write me an e-mail: balazsbela ( a t ) gmail.com  If you would like to translate qOrganizer, or request a feature, or just tell me your opinion you can contact me at the e-mail address above.  All feedback is welcomed and appreciated!    And as always, enjoy!    Note: Under linux, the source package is the official release, the deb and the rpm are just binaries.  The file qOrganizer-2.0.tar.gz contains a binary file too which can be installed with the script install.sh which must be run as root.    You can also compile the source if you have qt4 installed,  with the commands:  qmake-qt4  make  or under windows:  qmake   make release   Under windows the package qOrganizer-2.0-win-full.zip is for   users without qt4 installed, and the file qOrganizer-2.0-win-light.zip is for users with qt4 installed (it doesn't contain the necessary dlls to run).  If you are not sure download: qOrganizer-2.0-win-full.zip

Stoyan Stefanov has posted about some updates he's been making to his Text_Highlighter PEAR package and to the hiliteme.com website.   In today's busy schedules there's less and less time to give love to our favorite open source projects. [...] Anyway, today I found the time to fix two bugs in Text_Highlighter and also include the patch from Daniel Fruzynski that adds support for highlighting VBScript. Wo-hoo!   The update to hiliteme.com uses the newly updated package, so you can try it out before you go and install it.

Here's a screen shot of the HTML source.  Looks like it's trying to serve some kind of ActiveX control. Happy to be using a Mac.  PS: Scoble just showed up and TM works on his cell phone so there's something weird going on.

Elizabeth Smith has posted a new item to her blog today with information about a PHP-GTK2 framework that she's been working on (and with) called the Callicore Desktop.   Donât look at me like that, I havenât lost my mind. Itâs not really a framework in the traditional MVC web application sense. Instead itâs a group of fairly loosely coupled widgets and classes with an emphasis on clean code.   With the help of several singletons, multiple widgets and a modular structure, the Callicore Desktop makes working with this parts as simple as calling it on the command line (with limited setup). If you'd like to get a look at the current version of the framework, check out the Callicore site or just head straight to the code.

Movie & video, book, images, software (games & program) and music cataloger / database. Uses online web services (amazon, imdb, musicbrainz and many others). Skinnable, highly customizable, PDF and HTML reporting. Allows your to design your own modules.   A new version? So soon? Although I am against releasing version after version within a short span of time here is the brand new 3.1.30 version two weeks after the previous release. The product is slowly recovering from the high impact changes of the 3.1 version. This version again contains crucial fixes. Data Crow is slowly but surely maturing. I have again chosen to create an in between release (this is the 3.1.30 version instead of the 3.2 version) as I want you to benefit as soon as possible from these bug fixes.   There are also a few changes and new functionality to be found in this version. The File Renaming functionality is the biggest addition and is the first tool which manipulates data outside of Data Crow.   Please read the change log for detailed information on this release.
