With some advanced scheduled-post-voodoo i successfully managed to publish this post already yesterday with some completely unrelated queries and no text. this was not intended – please accept my apologies :P

Anyway: In the footer of my magento shop we might have a summary of the shopping cart,
which i simply put in the footer.phtml template file:

I just started digging in the shop software magento for a project and set up the following development environment.

In this scenario development is done on two local machines while products and pages beeing already edited on the “Live”-Web-Server.
Git is used for version control and deployment. Also FTP SSH. » read more

This is a small shell script to set up silverstripe CMS
along with some modules i often use (as seen in ivo’s post)

The script has two parameters:
- the folder to clone the whole thing into
- the branch/tag to checkout afterwards

# install silverstripe + common modules from github
# usage sh install_silverstripe.sh <folder_name> <tag/branch>
# examples:
# sh install_silverstripe.sh some_folder tags/2.4.5
# sh install_silverstripe.sh some_folder master

If you are going to install the mp3 en/decoder lame on debian lenny,
this is how i got it done:

choose your package: http://debian-multimedia.org/pool/main/l/lame/

wget http://debian-multimedia.org/pool/main/l/lame/lame_3.98.2-0.4_i386.deb
dpkg -i lame_3.98.2-0.4_i386.deb

yay!

yesterday i found this very useful jQuery-script on github:

https://gist.github.com/853841

jQuery.fn.scrollToViewPort = function(animTimeInterval) {
  animTimeInterval = (typeof animTimeInterval == "undefined")?"slow":animTimeInterval;
  return this.each(function(){
    $('html,body').animate({scrollTop: $(this).offset().top},animTimeInterval);
  });
}

it moves the users’ viewport to show the element that it has been called on.

I modified it somehow so that it will check now if the element is already in the viewport.
So we can avoid auto-scrolling in that case.
A offset Parameter has also been added in case we need some margin.

https://gist.github.com/1018842

jQuery.fn.scrollToViewPort = function(options) {
  var animTimeInterval = (typeof options.interval == "undefined")?"slow":animTimeInterval;
  return this.each(function(){
    var offSet = (typeof options.offset == "undefined")? $(this).offset().top : options.offset;
    if( $(this).offset().top <= $(window).scrollTop() || ( $(this).offset().top + $(this).height() ) >= ( $(window).scrollTop() + $(window).height() ) ){
      $('html,body').animate( { scrollTop: offSet }, animTimeInterval );
    }
  });
}

usage:

 $(this).scrollToViewPort( { offset : ( ( $(this).offset().top + my_custom_offset ) - $(window).height() ) } );

Firefox 4 ist ja nun draussen:

Die Addons Firebug und der JSON Viewer sind ja zum Glück auch schon kompatibel.
Mein anderes Lieblingsaddon, der CSS reloader leider noch nicht.

Coolerweise gibt es aber dieses Bookmarklet:
http://david.dojotoolkit.org/recss.html
dass genau das tut.
Supersache!
