There are many ways for Extracting or fetching desired data or content from an html pages. During my work, i had to build a Miner to get news from multiple sites & update a wordpress blog with the latest news, daily.I had many choices to accomplish this task, few of them are
- Regular expressions

- Using DOM Parsing

First of all i used regular expressions to Read the rest of this entry »

Are you social on the web?

Do you wanna be social? Are you social on the web? Is your website in accordance with the “social” requirements as laid out by the web 2.0 standard. Do you want to say “yeah” but are afraid of saying it as it might be wrong as you still dont know what exactly 2.0 is. OK, let me add something (thats not new off course but clarifies a little about the social aspect of the web). The web 2.0 is about the usability factor of the web. Sites like Flickr and Google calendar are a very good example of usability. Both have social factors about them. Like on Flickr, people can comment on your photos, photos that you want to share. Also you can post photos to your blog right from your Flickr account and there are dozens of good services that can be integrated with Flickr through an API provided by Flickr. It uses AJAX for making it more usable but yeah the Social Factor like submitting your photos to public groups of similar interests make it Read the rest of this entry »

CodeIgniter: How to set your images path automatically for your site

February13

Well I was thinking that the old source code I got from the other guy Nouman who was working on this Home Work Center Project that was and is being coded in CodeIgniter was not very much upto date. I fixed the Javascript issues; in fact a lot of them including the JavaScript date picker calendar. It fits well, works on IE 6, IE7, Safari and Firefox; haven’t yet checked with others. But I am sure it will!. Anyhow the problem I was facing was that in different folders in Views for CodeIgniter , if we are using images, we have to use relative URLs in most of the pages, which gets quite troublesome sometimes. As long as it is the CodeIgniter I am working on, I don’t want to use my own includes having setting of the site because this is why we are using CodeIgniter .

Solution:

So cutting short the details, if you want to use the site’s URL and relative paths according to your site’s base url, here is the solution use site_url(). The link contains all the details you will need to use for your views and it also tells which helpers you need to load.

I am with my best days of learning web development now a days! Having coffee on my cabin’s table where me and my computer live together. Ah its quite bitter :(, I am still not good at making cape chino! But I am still happy as I have learned new things today. I have always been looking for some great JavaScript libraries that would do some really nice tricks like animation effects and user friendly techniques with easy to code syntax and minimal lines of code to call a specfic functionality. So I got it today.

And dear readers, I was really amazed at the high profile sites who are using it for example Gucci ,Digg , Apple fluxiom , Basecamp , Shopify , Blinksale , Backpack , Feedburner , Mailroom , Ruby on Rails and many others.

Isn’t that impressive? yeah I am sure it is!

Be sure to check out the demos, too: effects engine , autocompleter , drag’n’shop , puzzle game

 I will be using it with the codignitor , the new PHP framework that I am  goin g to use for my new project thats a CMS system for teachers to help manage their content for students. It focuses on Web 2.0 with Rich dynamic features!

Check my latest quote “A wordpress theme a day doesn’t keeps a geek away! “, yeah off course to serve my fellow wordpress community and my loving wordpress blogging engine. All the wordpress geeks a very well aware of the fact that how cool wordpress theming can be, I would rather boast there is no better theming engine for blogs out there. Anyone with normal PHP understanding can easily customize a theme for their blog or even get a pre-done template and convert it into wordpress theme with few easy steps.
