Annoyed…with coding

I’ve been coding away all week, that is between my other jobs at home

In all my ‘wisdom’ and persistence i made a small app with Yii which stores data in an array and serializes it into a db, and a basic CRUD, a proof of concept to see if the framework was capable of doing this and in the fastest way possible.

No problem so far, getting it is simple, but apparently you Yii doesn’t permit everything. So you need a $temp variable to store the model data in, suffice to say that it isn’t really the shortest route to take nor in my opinion the fastest bus alas I have to do with it. This little app of not more then a 60 lines of code took me four days, four damn days to figure out the error,  honestly if we have methods to ‘save space’ in your coding why not permit them?

I’m not going to bother everybody with my nagging so, I’ll stop here.

For those who want to see the topic on the yii forums.

Register & Yii projects

So, I think ti’s time for some updates on the website.

I has been a bit wild the last 3 weeks. School has started yet again and I had a project to finish not to mention that i’m starting to see through the Yii framework structure. I’ve been writing diagrams for different project that I have in my head too and that takes a lot of time. Besides figuring out how I want the database to be and my database system had schifted, alto mysql is the favorite, a friend encouraged that i take a look to postgresql. Yii has given me a hard time to basically because it’s been a bit of a struggle to change coding methodes in function of Yii and then I don’t start talking about the RBAC system it has build-in. It took every neuron to understand everything form begin to end. Models was also something, Yii has two model types and the active records model is something to understand, I was a bit lost at how I would have to write my own AR functions but thanks to the forums I got that figured out too. All in all everything is good at the moment.

I’ll be uploading some pictures of the system I wrote recently so you can get some sneaky peaks at it but unfortunately it won’t be open source system.

PHP app installer

The last 2 to 3 days I’ve been working on a system that can be easely integrated into any application so that it can install itself on a server. I’ve added some ideas to suit myself, one is that data is installed to 2 databases. One for the users and one for the data of the users.

Why? Because you can scale a lot easier if parts are in other databases. And it includes some of my projects that I want to start, see Google, users tend to user a website more when they are registerated but what if, like google, I register for Gmail and I can have Google docs with the same account but not the annoying registration? That is what I want to do.

Great and Free? …..I’m not yet at that stage

TODO:

• The things that are left for me to do is basically that I scale everything more
• Maybe port to smarty all the vars and everything
• Maybe make a installer creator script for the people who want to implement my script.
• Do something to the mysql files
• Make more comments in the code
• Document the script
• …

Inserting adsense in phpbb3 templates

I have to review some things from my last post about phpbb3 adsense. Infact it doesn’t matter where you put it just don’t do it in the if statements of the templates because you won’t be able to see it always.

Adsense and forums

Where do you put AdSense when you manage a forum? It’s the question I’m thinking about for some days now. I’m trying different approaches every once in a while until I’m satisfied.

Just before you we get started, note that forums.webscriptz.be isn’t getting a lot of visitors, this is basically because I have to deal with big competitors in the same niche of the web. Also because I’m not promoting the place because, well I’m short of time and I don’t want to spend money on something that I can earn myself by doing the work AdSense does.

I’ve got my little theories on where to put AdSense on my blog, I don’t have the very best of designs for phpbb3 but I’m thinking positive.

phpbb3 adsense input

I’ve solved the problems with adsense in the template files, the page I found truly explained a lot, apparently I’ve inputted the script into the wrong lines of code, odd as it seems.
