Xinha
The Community-built Open Source Online HTML Editor
Xinha (pronounced like Xena, the Warrior Princess) is a powerful WYSIWYG HTML editor component that works in Mozilla based browsers as well as in MS Internet Explorer. Its configurabilty and extensibility make it easy to build just the right editor for multiple purposes, from a restricted mini-editor for one database field to a full-fledged website editor. Its liberal licence makes it an ideal candidate for integration into any kind of project.
Xinha is Open Source, and we take this seriously. There is no company that owns the source but a community of professionals who just want Xinha to be the best tool for their work.

Drag and Drop Interface is almost here
We've been testing drag and drop interface over the weekend.
I hope it's a good start to allow further enhancement to move a link into other tab or remove a link to a trash can.
So far It looks pretty stable on Firefox, IE, Opera, and Safari.
At the moment order changes won't be saved so please bear with us, it won't be long until we release it.
Once again thanks for all your support.

Retro refreshing site
I found this website is pretty amusing. It reminds me of pixel art early 90s style.
I am sure we are getting a little bit tired after being bombarded with CSS driven, web2.0 style glossy shadowed interfaces.

How to use PNG background transparancy in IE6
It is known that we can't use PNG transparancy as a background in IE6.
This example below is a hack to do it, by utilising Alpha Image Loader :
#top {
background-image: none;
background-repeat: repeat-x;
float: left;
height: 12px;
width: 502px;
filter: progid: DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src=images/2.png,sizingMethod='scale');

Vanilla Days : HDR Tutorial: How to create ‘High Dynamic Range’ images using Photomatix
Vanilla Days : HDR Tutorial: How to create ‘High Dynamic Range’ images using Photomatix: "duce the 3 shots needed is to take 1 photo and adjust in a RAW editor such as Aperture, Photoshop or RawShooter. The main advantage to this is that you can produce a HDR shot with moving subjects such as people or cars. The disadvantage is that if you use an image with very dark shadows and you’re trying to boost the exposure, the result will be quite noisey.
Load your photo into the editor, then set the exposure level to -2 and save the image as a 16bit TIFF without any metadata such as EXIF info. This is the important part. If you save it with EXIF info you will find that Photomatix relies on that info to produce the HDR shot. The problem with this is that the shutter speed and aperture values will be the same across the 3 images and Photomatix won’t know which image is -2, 0 and +2. Set the exposure level to 0, save that and"

Is Marketing evil ?
Is marketing evil ?
I'm a marketing student. Now there's a paradox for you.
I'm a marketing student who rants and raves about how marketing has killed music and the horrible phenomenon of packaged music. I'm a marketing student who throws away junk mail and channel-surfs right by commercials. I'm a marketing student who rudely hangs up on telemarketers. I'm a marketing student who's 99% cynical but has still retained that 1% idealism that refuses to go away no matter how deep I try to bury it.

What's hot in web application
I came up with this list, describing what's HOT in web-application software development:
1. Intelligent Searching
Thanks to i-tunes and Amazon, searching is big business, what Amazon gives us is "you may also like this..." while i-tunes gives interactivity of the search result which reacts to what you type in search field. Combine these two with additional wild-card searching what we've seen in most e-commerce website, ie : last item you see, .. etc is a HOT thing.
2. Personalisation
Who doesn't like to personalise things, it is a human nature to give personal touch to what we have. It reminds me of nokia 5 series with interchangeable covers which was very popular in the 90s. Incorporate this into any web-based application then it is a HOT thing.
3. KISS Keep it Simple Stupid
Who hates reading manual ? Familiar with RTFM? Again it is a usability issue, better by design and all this kind of stuff. Do the "mom's test", do your homework, do things with passion, and pay attention to details! Create simple yet powerful software it is a HOT thing.
4. Real life is a real test
It’s impossible to test something without real test. Take a car for example, how many years after development car is now saver than ever. Imagine you manufacture model-T today and not getting sued because it’s not roadworthy.

Claromentis 5.1 configuration
1. New searching system and so new indexing daemon.
Cla 5.1 requires new indexing daemon to be installed
Due to changed indexing, now database size is much smaller than data storage. And data storage has grown by about 50% comparing to version 5.0. I remind that previously database size was about twice larger than actual documents size.
2. LDAP/NTLM configuration
Cla 5.1 now supports multiple domains if they are within one LDAP tree and Cla is installed on Windows. Also now it's possible to have local accounts and LDAP/NTLM accounts at the same time.
Due to these changes, directory security settings are different in IIS. Now it's needed to allow anonymous access to web/intranet/ folder and only disallow it to web/intranet/login/ folder.
There are also different configuration variables in config file.NTLM and LDAP are switched on and off indepentently of each other. $NTLM_MODE has only options NTLM_NONE, NTLM_IIS and NTLM_APACHE.New variable $cfg_LDAP_enabled enables LDAP support. Prefix $cfg_ added for all other LDAP variables. See config_default.php
Enabling LDAP now requires valid LDAP account to be entered into config file. See variables $cfg_LDAP_user and $cfg_LDAP_password in config_default.php
New settings $cfg_preferred_login_method, has effect only if NTLM is enabled. Claromentis may automatically redirect users to NTLM autologon or first show them usual web form for log in and let them click "Log on using you MS Windows account". This is useful if local and LDAP users are used.

MediaWiki in Claromentis
Claromentis works well with mediawiki-1.8.2 (hm, available on the site),
however, mediawiki-1.8.3 is the security update, so it must work (i'vent checked)
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download which brings you tohttp://downloads.sourceforge.net/wikipedia/mediawiki-1.8.2.tar.gzhttp://downloads.sourceforge.net/wikipedia/mediawiki-1.8.3.tar.gz
it can work under mysql since 4.0 and php5 under apache or IIS
first, install MediaWiki in intranet/wiki directory:
====in "Database config"=====
1) check MySQL,
2) use DB name, DB username, DB password from Claromentis (specified in intranet/common/config.php)
3) set Database table prefix to something like "wiki_"
in other places - follow MediaWiki installation instructions
second, install ClaroWiki extension into MediaWiki:edit intranet/wiki/LocalSettings.php# Add to localsettings, near the end:require_once("extensions/clarowiki/ClaroWiki.php");
note about uploading images into wiki:!! this workaround doesn't work with IIS (win32)
it's helpful for codedev2you may want to move wiki/images directory to claromentis data directory and make symlink from previuos location to new locationi.e.:# mv web/intranet/wiki/images data/wiki; ln -s ../../../data/wiki/ web/intranet/wiki/images;!! this workaround doesn't work with IIS (win32) it's helpful for codedev2

Smallest and Largest text on the web
Ever wonder what's the smallest possible text size on the web?
The smallest possible text size is 1px, you can make them 0.0000001px but
it doesn't make such different on the browser appearance.
The largest text that still can be readable after reducing the text size or zooming out (IE7) page is in the region of 60000px.
There is some strange behavior with the largest text as sometime when it gets too large it become small again.
To test this experiment you can use Firefox and hold Ctrl key while keep pressing (-) or (+) to zoom in and out.

Here is the example of such "edit me" link:
Note "name" on < a > tag. It's not required, but better to insert it sopage id is directly added into that link instead of callingedit_page_indirect.phpAnd there is on limitation. This functionality works only on intranetpages and doesn't work on any external ones - FTP or the same server.

No Access to Internal Publish Page
As I see now in code, when permissions are checked there are three variants:
1. you have rights to view page
2. you are not logged on, but page is not public
3. you are logged on, but as user that don't have rights to view that page
In these cases:
1. page is shown
2. redirect to usual login page
3. Page http://codedev2.claromentis.com/intranet/publish/access_denied.php [^] is shown. If access_denied_custom.php exists, it's shown instead of default access_denied.php

Writing Good Website Copy
The 'So-What?' Principle for Writing Good Website Copy
I am about to hand you the most worthwhile website writing tip ever devised. It is so simple, yet so effective, that from now on your website copywriting will shine forth like a good deed in a naughty world. But, first, a short preamble.
As I bounce around the Internet, I see that many so-called copywriting gurus are adamant that copywriting for websites is completely different from copywriting for press ads, brochures and the like. They also go on to say that there exists some kind of secret website writing cornucopia, the location of which is known to only a few, but the key to which can be yours if you subscribe to their website copywriting course.
I am here to tell you that the contents of their course would probably get the average trainee at any decent ad agency fired on the spot, were he or she to adopt its precepts. Despite this, the myth that website writing is somehow different from any other kind of promotional writing is gaining ground; and it is being perpetrated not only by charlatans, but also by people who ought to know a good deal better.
Yes, I will agree that the 'reading' of websites is somewhat different from the 'reading' of what we might term terrestrial copywriting. And the reason is this. Having performed a Google search, people are confronted by so many options that they are quite negligent in their perusal of any given website. On the other hand, if they arrive at a site that pleases them mightily ? one that provides a good, benefit-filled headline, plus body copy that not only answers all their questions, but also soft-sells them at the same time - then they will linger.
The truth is immutable. The rules of copywriting for websites are exactly the same as the rules for writing anything else that is trying to sell a product or service. It must be clear and lucid. It must be simple and uncomplicated. And it must make some kind of offer or give some kind of promise. These, however, are not such attributes as you will find on the average website, because the average website ? being average ? contains no sales message, no product benefit and no offer or promise.
I shall now digress for a moment. The following two precepts are the oldest in the professional copywriting manual; and I have been proselytizing them for years. Nobody is listening, of course, so I shall repeat them; and I shall repeat them because they are important.
The first rule of successful copywriting is that every piece of promotional material should contain a headline. This headline should say exactly what it is that you are selling. And it should also give a very good reason for buying it.
The second rule of successful copywriting is that body copy should reinforce the benefit of owning the product by stating clearly what will be missed if the potential customer doesn't buy: i.e. the product features; plus the facts and figures of size, weight, and operational statistics. Not to mention the price. Always remember, people don't buy products, they buy the benefits of owning them.
But that's purely by the way. Let's return to our main thrust. People write to me all the time acknowledging that a website stands or falls in the eyes of the general public on the quality of its writing (good search engine optimization is all in the writing, too, but that's another story.) They say they have spent hours re-writing their Title, Description and Keywords meta tags, followed by the enjoinder that they have done everything possible to make their Home page body copy acceptable to both search engine and punter alike.
So I visit their website and the first thing I see when the site opens is a headline that says something like: "This is the website of Burlington R. Cade. You are welcome to it!" This so-called headline is followed by a stick of body copy which begins: "Burlington R. Cade is based in Stub Toe, Nebraska and has been in business since 1977?" My correspondent then goes on to ask why, in all reasonableness, is (a) the offending site not listed on any of the major search engines and (b) why the few simple souls who do visit the site (by accident, presumably) don't stick around?
The answer, of course, is that neither the headline nor the body copy makes it worthwhile for any search engine or punter to want to stick around. But we are about to change all that, because here's that website writing tip.
It's a tip that, used correctly, will tell you in no uncertain terms whether you have written a good headline or a great stick of body copy. And also vice versa. It was given to me 40 years ago by a benign Copy Chief when I stepped across the threshold of my first ad agency. It is called the "So what?" principle.
Allow me to give you an example of 'So What?' in action. If you produce a headline that says: "Our Widget works twice as fast as any other Widget," and then ask yourself 'So What?', it immediately becomes clear that the line is bereft of a sales proposition. Because there is no obvious benefit to the potential customer. His unspoken question: 'What's in it for me' remains unanswered.
On the other hand, if you write: "Our Widget works twice as fast, so you do the job in half the time," then the 'So What?' has been answered. Your customer can cut his production time by 50%.
Likewise, were you to write: "Our Widget is so small, it fits into the palm of your hand," you simply invoke 'So What?' Which results in: "Our Widget fits into the palm of your hand, so it goes wherever you go." In this case, the benefit is portability.
Simple, isn't it? And it can be applied to body copy just as readily as it can to headlines. Given this, we should now be able to expunge forever from the Net such crass headlines as: "You are entering the wonderful world of Mandy Lifeboats!" And also to such dreadful sticks of copy which begin: "Mandy Lifeboats left university with a modest arts degree and not enough money to buy lunch, but she has never looked back?" Because 'So What?' should spell out to young Mandy that nobody gives a hoot. It goes without saying, however, that I am taking no bets on it.
If this has been useful, please do let me know.

Setting Up 02 GPRS
I just got my XDA mini from Darren
In case it helps anyone else the sequence appears to be:
1.Go the active menu and choose my XDA connections. Make sure the settings ticked are UK Post Paid and GPRS
2 Go to Start settings Connections and make sure that the default connection (ie not one that you have added) is set to mobile.o2.co.uk as the access point, the Modem is Cellular Line GPRS the user name is faster and I think the password is password(advanced is use server-assigned IP address the DNS is 193.113.200.200 and the alt DNS is 193.113.200.201
This should work!
I have given up on the WAP settings as I never used them anyway.
Hope this helps
