Open Source

Speak your own language

Today is the age of Open Source. There is a win win situation everywhere for open source. Search the web, you will get a thousands of benefits about open source. But what you may not get is:

I strongly believe "Open source increases the passion to mother language". How?

PunBB Plugin

I have worked a bit with PunBB specially to improve Projanmo Forum.

Today, I wanted to practice a bit with PunBB Plugin System. So, I have developed a very simple plugin. Using this plugin, the admin can edit the any value of configuration table.

It just a practice Plugin. But may be helpful for MOD which affected config table but did not give any plugin to edit those configuration.

In next version of this script, i will add some more feature.

OpenLD Top Sites extension

I was searching for a good php based web directory script. Yesterday I got OpenLD, a fantastic fantastic script. Its really scalable script. Anyone can also make Plugins & Extension for this as this script has huge application level hooks to push the script there.

Yesterday, I configured the whole script by investing about 8-10 and now it fully works with full Bangla support.

The script is online http://web.projanmo.com

Jquery & Javascript Tools Conflict

Yesterday, I have installed Javascript Tools 5x module in Drupal. After that I failed to upload files. I tried about an hour with many alternatives. Finally after disabling Javascript Tools, file uploading was ok again.

So far I know, Drupal upload files using jquery. so most probably jquery & javascript conflict with each other.

:(

Easiest way for Image Preloading

Image pre-loading is almost an essential task in dynamic website. Its specially needed for Ajax powered website. Suppose, you want to show a loading image while getting contents from server after user clicks any button/link. In this case, if the image is not preloaded, the loading image and server result may come at same time. So what is the benefit of showing the loading image if the user can't see it while the content is loading?

One may preload images using javascript, which may not easy for novice developer. But I got an easy way. here is the way:

Simple Ajax Feedback Form

This is a very simple ajax feedback form. just download the zip, extract, change two variables in the contact.php page.

You are ready to upload files in server. Just upload, your ajax feedback form is ready. Enjoy receiving feedback from visitors :-)

PunBB Bangla Language Pack

I am working on PunBB for a bit long time. The whole work I have yet done only for Projanmo Forum. Many people asked me for the Bangla Language Pack of PunBB. But I could not release it due to some internal reasons. Few days ago, I sent the pack to Ricard and Yesterday he published it on www.punbb.org.

 

I am feeling really lucky that I could contribute a bit in an Open Source package and also in Bangla language.
You can download the package from here too.

Content Converstion

I faced much troubles after converting my old wordpress blog to drupal. My posts are saved in blog module. but for a single man site that was not needed. so i was needed to disable blog module and change all blog contents to story. but after many effort I could do it.

Finding no way, I have edited the db manually using this code
update node set type='story' where type='blog'

Then everything is ok. I disabled the blog module and contents are fine :D.

Introducing Forum Hosting

After working for more than 7 days, I successfully introduced Bangla Forum Hosting Service where everything is in Bangla (Bengali). The user interface, input methods are in Bangla. There are two typing methods e.g. Unijoy and Phonetic. Both system is developed by Hasin Hayder.

Oh, feeling bore to type anymore. Please take a look http://www.bd-host.com/content/view/41/1/ for details.

:cool:

Indifferent Holiday

Today was "Teachers Day" mourning the death of Dr. Zoha. So the campus was off. But I passed very busy time today as all other days.

From morning, I have gone very deep of Joomla. I have decided to deliver all webdesign projects in Joomla so that it may be easier for me to make update in near future. Currently, I am working with 3 orders among them 2 are paid projects and one is free which is of an student organization of our department.
