I’ve just knocked together a quick WYMeditor Fieldtype which I’m happy to share with anyone that’s interested.
Its built on Brandon Kelly’s excellent Fieldframe framework, so you’ll need to grab that, and enable jQuery in the cp via your favorite flavor.
Grab it after the jump:
Just written my first EE plugin, appropriately named Crumbee, its pretty crummy really.
It basically grabs the url of the current page and builds a breadcrumb trail from that, replacing a “-” or a “_” with a space and capitalising the words. Very handy when using the EE pages module and/you/have/long/urls.
I did write a semi lengthy post about this, but my session expired and when I hit submit - I was immediately logged out. Note to self, draft posts offline before publishing.
Anyway, a wee site launch today for Dive! Tutukaka. The last 3 days has seen my hair go a little greyer, but hey, I’m quite happy with the way it turned out! (The site that is, not my hair)
I’ve slowly been learning PHP over the last couple of years, mostly doing simple things like creating variables, includes, mathematical operations and the like. Recently I’ve been wanting to get explore a framework such as Cake or Symphony to see if that would spark more enthusiasm and assistance for learning. Well, since EllisLab announced ExpressionEngine 2.0 will run on on CodeIgniter - I’ve got the perfect excuse to get busy with it.
Yeah, I know what you’re thinking… Iain has developed a nasty habit and needs to go to rehab.
Nah, I haven’t lost it, I’ve only just got started. Today I just got my application back from EllisLab and I’m over the moon to be part of the ExpressionEngine Professionals Network. Go me.
Its been a year in the making, and a few moments ago I deleted 1 line of code to launch my latest work - WhangareiNZ.com
I’ve pretty much spent the entire afternoon getting around Windows Vista, and I’m very close to putting my fist through the monitor.
It feel like its been ages since I launched a new site and yes, it has been a long time… Mainly because the project I’m winding up next week has been a year in the making and is now winding up to launch phase. Thats had me buried in the sand for the last month.
I thought I’d do some professional development and go along to ‘The Search Engine Room‘ workshop last week in Auckland.
To say the least, I have to say I was a little disappointed.
It had to happen sooner or later… For the first time in yonks I’m doing some professional development without using google, or reading the manual, or trial and error, or emailing someone, or getting a nerd to do it..
Yep, I’m going to a conference all about search trends and the way search engine technology and search engine users are heading.
To celebrate spring, I’ve redeveloped iain.co.nz.
It happened quite spontaneously when i returned from my trip home - all in all, it took me 5 hours to redesign, code, and migrate from Wordpress to Expression Engine.
Probably my largest project to date, marinenz.org.nz has finally gone live. I’ve been building this on my spare time for a conservation trust with a very, very limited budget. Still needs a lot of work but I’ll try and get cracking on the V2 layout as soon as the content is finalised.
After 6 weeks in the wop wops of the Hebrides, I’m finally back in the altogether pleasantness of Whangarei. The sun is shining, the birds are chirping and I’m sure I’ve got less things to worry about…
Why, why, oh why do the computer dabblers of this world use Comic Sans in everything they do…
