Lightbox, super cool

Monday, February 27th, 2006

So I just implemented the usage of “Lightbox”:http://www.huddletogether.com/projects/lightbox/ on a work project since I wanted to make a full-image-viewer from clicking on thumbnails but did not want to have to go dig up the javascript for it etc. I then realized lightbox would be perfect since it’s usage on my blog. Lightbox isn’t anything new but it’s damn cool I must say. This just after being psyched about implementing “Ajax-powered drag & drop”:http://php.macsaresexy.com/sort/ on the same project, downside is the drag & drop doesn’t have a non-javascript method yet.

Database migrations, ActiveRecord:Migration wannabe

Tuesday, January 24th, 2006

I just recently finished a ‘beta’ version of a ActiveRecord:Migration wannabe database schema migration system in PHP at work. It allows me to version the database schema/structure easily and allow for easy database structure updates when updating an install of a web app on some site. Eventually it could do downgrades like the rails version too but that’s not something I’ll worry about right away. It does function, isn’t as elegant as AR:Migration but it does the job which is pretty cool. It might join PHPFlash class as one of my most useful chunks of code.
