For the past few weeks, I have been attempting to re-write my CMS so as to take advantage of some of the proper features of CodeIgniter. Having created a few projects using the framework itself, I found myself repeating a lot of code on some pages. I had not really bothered with creating a MY_Controller file to house all the re-usable code until I started re-writing my CMS.
Happy New Year to everyone. With this being my first post of 2010, I wish the best of everything to everyone this year. Not that it has started that well with Britain being in the middle of a big freeze and all that and the time of me writing this, its -8C, really foggy and might damn freezing.
So what been happening? Let's see, I have successfully finished setting up a Click 2 Call system. Took me a while to study the system and its requirement. After going through some serious server issues especially with PHP Curl not wanting to from the main server itself, I ended up spending a few more hours this week using SOAP to get the system and running. So that bit is done and dusted. Looking forward to more projects.
Why do some websites/companies provide their API yet fail to provide suitable examples on how to use their API? Its all good when they know what their are doing with their own software, well they should really, they wrote but failing to provide examples to an outsider really is just a bad thing to do.
Seems to me like they expect people like us to read their minds....
I am planning to change the custom commenting system on my site to Disqus over the weekend. Aside from the fact that it will make it easier for me to administer the comments I get, at least I won't have to deal with the annoying occasional spam that I get.
I just have to find a way of importing the current comments into Disqus which I bet is not going to be an easy thing to accomplish.

I am in the process of creating a small CodeIgniter bundle for use in Dreamweaver. It has been a while since I released any extensions so bare with me if it takes a while for me to have this released.
