HashBin now available in open-source flavor
By Romain Dorgueil on Monday, March 17 2008, 23:58 - sites
Our first violin missed his plane yesterday, so Kwatuor is still not available in the upcoming unusable buggy pre-alpha (that miss all the functionalities anyway).
But while we're waiting for him to be available, I released HashBin in open-source, so anybody can dive into the code, and help me making it evolve. It still needs many attention, but hey, time is not the most available resource I have, and that's one of the two major reasons to give it to the community. Another one is that there is not so much open source symfony applications, and even less open source doctrine applications. After the doctrine 1.0 feature-freeze announcement, this could be a step to have simple sample applications (I hear little sarcastic laughs in the background...) people could dive in to learn this amazing ORM.
Well stop talking, here is the code.
- TRAC web interface: http://trac.dakrazy.net/
- SVN DAV repository: http://svn.dakrazy.net/hashbin/trunk/
SVN access is read-only for anyone, if you ever want to contribute, I'll be glad to grant you a commit access either on trunk or branch (still have to make up my mind, but at beginning that's not very important). Just ask me on IRC (hartym@freenode).
What amazing feature will you invent today?
Tired of spam? Try dkAntispamPlugin
By Romain Dorgueil on Sunday, December 30 2007, 23:49 - plugin
After last week hashbin's new release, I decided to publish dkAntispamPlugin. That's an early release, and by now it is not very feature-full, but it's doing the job we ask it, and since now, proved efficient on HashBin to make not public the pretty large amount of spam I get on it.
In One week, we got 40 messages with spam_value<10 (all checked, no spam), 14 more with spam_value<20, some of those were not spam but either inconsistent, or URL-full, 97 more between 20 and 50 (100% spam) and 498 more over this, which i'll consider as spam (don't really feel like reviewing all those).
For now, the plug-in only makes some reg-exp check, length check and URL count checks, but I'm planning in adding IP check and refining reg-exps to be less CPU eating. If any of you have anymore ideas to improve it... You're all welcome :-)
At the same time, I refactored sfGeshiPlugin to dkGeshiPlugin, to leave sf prefix for official symfony plugins, so be sure to check the wiki or documentation if you're using it.
sfGeshi plugin release
By Romain on Sunday, November 4 2007, 23:47 - release
The sfGeshi plugin has been updated today to use latest GeSHi improvements, and to add some features. The SVN path changed too, to comply with symfony-project.com plugin repository naming conventions, so be sure to check out the documentation.
sfGeshi::getLanguages()
This static methods allow you to get an associative array of languages, with GeSHi language identifiers as keys and human readable language names as values.
<?php echo select_tag('language', options_for_select(sfGeshi::getLanguages(), $language)); ?>sfGeshi::getPluginPath()
This convenience method has been added to allow you to call sfGeshiPlugin directory differently. It should be used if you need direct access to GeSHi files (like language highlighting definition files in /geshi/).
Symfony 1.0 is out!
By Romain Dorgueil on Monday, February 19 2007, 08:13 - release
Despite the DIGG side effects of which symfony project server suffered because of heavy traffic brought by the well known social bookmarking site's homepage anouncing symfony's first "stable" release, the long awaited 1.0 version is here!
For thoose who don't know it, Symfony is a MVC (Model-View-Component) PHP5 framework aiming to Rapid Application Development and good codinig practices like the DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) principle. Their main contributors, french developpers from Sensio Labs Fabien Potencier and François Zaninotto have written a very good documentation book about it, that you can either buy at amazon (for thoose who like holding a real book), or download/read freely on the symfony project website as a PDF file.
Supported by a large community, you'll find support about symfony in diverse flavour, from the symfony forum to different languages mailing lists, going thru #symfony and #symfony-fr (for french developpers) on Freenode IRC network.
As the official release note is saying:
At last, the long-awaited 1.0 stable version of symfony is just released. For all those who waited for the "stable" status to dive into symfony, the time has come.
