…dev, tech problems and solutions.
This is a reoccuring requirement: you need a profile for some object in your project.
FE you have a company, a member or a location that should get an address, a marker on the map, an icon, homepage etc.
So I created a small silverstripe module that adds a profile tab to any object you choose in your Silverstripe CMS backend.
In the last days, i was trying to find a solution hosting multiple Express apps on my vServer the same Server.
Starting with Apache and mod_proxy, i ended up with a plain node solution, which i really like. Continue reading “Hosting multiple Express (node.js) apps on port 80”
to be honest i didn’t find a clean way yet, but i thought this workaround might be worth sharing.

I might be a bit late (yeaikno it exist over a year now and a bunch of blogs had it covered) but nevertheless i would like to point out a very helpful online tool i recently ran into:
Its basically a online benchmark tool for testing different approaches in javascript.
It covers some important aspects of benchmarking, that your homemade bench probably wont have like milliseconds accuracy & statistical analysis.
The tests are run on your browser and the results will feed the “browserscope”. A graph of the “highest known results” for the participating browsers.
So we can see some kind of comparison.

I recently started digging into node.js and the express framework.
One thing i like about it is that it comes with the beautiful jade template engine by default.
Here are some things that come real hany when you are working with jade. Continue reading “Tools for jade template development”
This small composer.json file is used in a project i am working on atm, feel free to use it at own risk. I will provide non-periodical updates and hopefully soon a full upgrade to symfony 2.1.x including doctrine orm 2.2.x.
I still did not get the point regarding dependency resolution, so i simply “composed” the composer file by writing down my own requirements (“i want only the hottest, newest stuff!!”, then tracked down the error messages, removing them by explicetly writing down the missing dependencies by using the latest “dev-*” versions. After that i tried to run the project, which actually did not work, but selective downgrade of some of the bundles (framework, security-extra blahblah) finally did the job.

I’m running OSX 10.7.3 with macports which usually does the job, but Google’s V8 Javascript Engine is not available as a port yet. Continue reading “run JavaScript code in PHP 5.3 with the v8js extension”
When you duplicate a page in the Silverstripe Sitetree, related “has_one” Items are automatically copied, which is nice.
But if you have, lets say, multiple related images on that Page, those are not copied when you duplicate that Page. Continue reading “Silverstripe – has_many- and many_many-relations when duplicating pages”
Ever wondered how to use the modulo operator in twig, the template engine of symfony?
Actually its like in PHP:
{{ 11 % 7 }}
As described here
But i guess for most use cases modulus is used to check if a number is divisible by another number.
Therefore Twig has the very conveniant divisible by test function.
{% if loop.index is divisible by(3) %}
We thought we had to improve our SilverStripe setup script for our development environment.
So Max and me rewrote it to add submodules and some other improvements.
Just run:
./install_silverstripe.sh mynewproject tags/2.4.7
and you have
