CakePHP 1.3 and DomPDF
After a lot of ridiculous meddling with code, I took a break and came back to trying to get DomPDF working with CakePHP 1.3. There were a few major problems, but most have been fixed now with only a couple of styling issues to make this work. The goal was to output an already styled HTML page to PDF with as little effort as possible, so that we could then reuse this package across multiple sites...

Nerd Post: Planning...planning...planning
I had a friend post on twitter the following: The problem with so much pre-planning and documentation is that the moment you start actually making, it’s no longer accurate. Time wasted. Now I agree with him somewhat, but I recently began running projects here at UCF, and my team is small, and somewhat under experienced. The project was a sort of single login system for all of the staff...

Input may vary →
Unbeknownst to me I was greeted on my cell phone last night with a new keyboard. They apparently ran a silent update and it included this new “swype” keyboard (link from title). This is the new way of typing on your mobile that you may have seen in those sprint commercials. I for one am all for trying new methods of input and love seeing people attempting (and sometimes failing) at new...

Nerd Post: It's sentences like this...
When I’m learning new things I tend to dive into the documentation start learning and seeing what practical way I could use something when coding. It’s sentences like these that frustrate me: The Worker() constructor call creates a worker and returns a Worker object representing that worker, which is used to communicate with the worker. Now I basically get the concept, but I could...

Nerd Post: Extending the Auth Component in Cakephp
You may have guessed by now, I do a lot of my php (if not all) in CakePHP and I really enjoy it. There are times where the core libs are good, but not quite to my liking of what I need, in this case it was the built in ACL and Auth Components. The ACL has a list of needs that I won’t get into right here and now, I will probably write a post about the custom one I am building when it is...
