phpWebDesk / News: Recent posts

phpWebDesk development has well and truly stopped. I'm keeping this site here for the benefit of whoever, but nothing further will be done unless anyone emails me about it. Meanwhile, try looking at my other project, ByteHoard (http://bytehoard.sf.net), which is doing quite a bit better.

Yes, it's that time of the day again. A new release of phpWebDesk. We may stay on the .3 version number for a while; this is sort of a milestone, if that's possible.

This new release includes the promised functionality of phpWebDesk; compression, image conversion, and markup conversion. I'm going to be improving these from now on, along with a few other features (translation? maybe yes, maybe going too far...). Please, please, give me some feedback. I need to know what you think, even if you are so shocked you cannot type.... read more

This is a small update, mainly for reasons of keeping up-to-date. There's an automatic updater, that keeps your browser capabliities file (browscap.csv) up-to-date, downloading a new one every week, a manual updater for the same thing, and the first generation transparent file compresser, albeit without automatic inclusion.

For the next release (probably 0.3) I'm working on revised template formats (the current ones are too limited), integrating the compresser into the automatic include code and perhaps starting on a validator (perhaps with a spellchecker, using pspell if it's on the server it's running on, or remote query to another server with pspell) . As always, any comments, suggestions or improvements, contact me or submit a tracker item on the project page.

After more work, coding and thinking (an unusual ocurrence) I have finished phpWebDesk 0.2. This release conteins the automatic detection for the includes, so all you have to do is include the file. Any bugs, see the tracker at http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpwebdesk

After a few random ideas, a couple of drinks (no, they weren't alcoholic) and some coding I seem to have created phpWebDesk. If you've read the project description, you'll know what it's about. At the moment I'm working on it. Please, feel free to download it and play around with it when I release some version of it. Documentation is non-existent, but the code is (partially) commented. I'd like to hear your suggestions, bugs and other news about it. In the meantime, I'll be working on preliminary documentation and the features outlined in the readme.txt in the download.
