AJAX Register updated

Thu, 04 Feb 2010 20:42:12

A new version of AJAX Register has been released. This version changes the way the inline messages are presented. Instead of just displaying the error message next to the error icon, it will now display only the icon with the message in a tooltip shown at mouse-over. This will improve the layout that could get messed-up in templates with small real estate for registration form. Read on for screenshots and check out the AJAX Register DEMO.

Forum spam

Wed, 27 Jan 2010 18:49:13

Recently I began to receive huge amount of spam on forum. The attack started about a month ago with hundreds of fake registrations every day all adding spam links to�various sites for SEO purposes. The�curious�thing is that they were able to bypass different types of visual verifications, anti-bot systems and email activation which suggests these are attacks with human intervention.

Why am I encoding my scripts

Wed, 16 Sep 2009 12:30:42

Recently it came to my attention that someone copied one of my free and GPL components for Joomla, made cosmetic changes and started selling it. According to GPL there wouldn't be anything wrong with that if they also didn't change the license to a proprietary one (which text they also copied from my non-GPL products) and if they didn't steal the component's name as well. For this reason I am getting emails asking for relation with this site, even asking me for support.

Changing CakePHP pagination URLs

Sat, 11 Jul 2009 15:25:13

CakePHP framework provides a great pagination helper but its default URLs aren't that great. By default it generates URLs that look like: http://domain/news/page:2. I spent a long time looking for a way to skip "page:" part in URLs and in links generated by the helper, or even just change the string "page" to something else. It showed up that there's no easy way to configure the paginator that way. So I came up with a workaround that will change your CakePHP pagination URLs to:�http://domain/news/2
