When you need a simple site finished yesterday...

in cms, Get simple, quick, web development

Sometimes, I thought that even using a CMS is overkill - mainly when a client wants a website with a couple of static pages, which they want to be able to update on their own. I even made a "mini CMS" of my own, but solving your own bugs on your free time can be tedious. Yesterday I stumbled upon a simpler way - namely, Get Simple.

I spent about an hour trying to find a simple application to copy the files referenced by my Winamp playlist to a USB pendrive, in order to take them with me. Tough luck, most of them are either missing libraries, or plain not working properly on Windows 7. Therefore, I rolled my own.

Jailbreaking Apple TV: Getting it to work

I'm not even going to list the reasons why you really should (consider) Jailbreak on your Apple TV if it supports it. I'm only going to list the (only!) method that works for me to get the device to the needed DFU mode to make it possible.

Migrating Chiliproject server

There's always that time when you need to migrate things to a new server. A happy time. Until the only Ruby app on the server refuses to work.

Using views to show users who flagged nodes... by node.

in drupal, flags, templates, users, views

Flags is a very useful module that allows users to "flag" nodes that meet some criteria (eg type etc). Administratively, it might be of interest to show the users who have flagged a specific node. Unfortunately, that's both tricky and slightly non-intuitive.

Dealing with checkboxes quickly

I've been working with the Forms API for some time. I've found a very useful shorthand for that today.

Disabling a checkbox with FAPI without the javascript

in drupal, fapi, forms

Forms API is great, let me start there. However there are some cases where you want to ... ahem, go around it. One such cases is with checkboxes (where you have a number of checkboxes), specifically when you want to alter just one of the set. Here's how to fix that!

From MySQL to CSV and vice-versa in one query

Nov

in csv, MySQL

There are more times than I can count that data needs to go from one format to another, two of the most popular being in a database and another being a text format. In my case, database equates to MySQL, and text format is something that can be derived easily from a CSV file. Thankfully, the whole process is quite simple.

Automate MySQL database & user creation

Continuing from the Apache virtualhost article, this is another script that automates the creation of a MySQL database and a user with all permissions to it.

Scripting Apache virtual host creation

Nov

in Apache, bash, Linux, vhost

Virtual hosting is one of the most important things to happen in web hosting over the recent years. It allows a single IP to be associated with multiple websites. Though there are many panel solutions that offer virtual host management, it's nice to know what's going on and even better to actually be in control. The tradeoff is that small mistakes can cause all of your sites to go down until you fix them -- unless you automate.
