Drupal: The State of Drupal (2009)

Posted by: Joost on March 26th, 2009

Interesting video about the history and future of Drupal. A must see for everyone who is involved or develop for the drupal community.  The presentation is done by Dries Buytaert, founder of Drupal.

Maybe another hint is to follow drupal at Twitter to keep updated about their actions.

Make your life easier with Ant

Posted by: Wouter on February 13th, 2009

After suffering with the workflow between Flex and Flash i found this plugin that lets you write your code in Flex and Compile it in the Flash API. It’s called the Ant plugin (what’s in a name ;-)

ASP.NET + AJAX + JQUERY

Posted by: Andres on February 13th, 2009

When you are using ASP.NET, the ajax updatepanel and jquery together, you can have some trouble with the jquery effects or widgets not working anymore.  After making an asynchronous postback with the updatepanel the jquery will not work anymore if you have to initialise some stuff in the load of the page.

When making an asynchronous postback the load event of the page is not fired anymore, so the initialisation of the widget or event will not occur.  There is a simple solution to this problem.  Just put all initialisations in a javascript function.  Call this javascript function from the load of your page and also the endrequest event of your PageRequestManager.

<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
initJQuery();
});
function initJQuery(){
//All inits for your jquery widgets/events
}
Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManager.getInstance().add_endRequest(initJQuery);
</script>

The end request event will occur when the asynchronous postback of the updatepanel is completed.  The jquery objects will then be recreated, so that the jquery events still work perfectly.

While doing some research i came across this handy website called pdfmenot, simply insert the pdf link or upload your file and make this viewable for your clients and friends without the right pdf software.
