eZ Components

• Convert from and to OpenDocument (en)

  by Tobias Schlitt on Wed, 23 Dec 2009 13:19:22 +0100

  Yesterday the latest stable release of the eZ Components project, number 2009.2, was rolled. For this release I worked on support for OpenDocumentText (ODT) in the Document component. In this article I show you how you can import OpenDocumentText documents and convert them into any of the supported formats of the component, how to export data into ODT and how to apply styles to the generated documents. You will also see how ODT and PDF can be exported with the very same styling information to make them look almost identical. [Read full post…]

  I gave 2 sessions at this years IPC SE: A half-day workshop on XML with PHP, with special focus on XPath.

• GOSUB for PHP (en)

  by Tobias Schlitt on Wed, 01 Apr 2009 23:25:28 +0200

  Since version 5.3 PHP supports the GOTO statement. While this statement is useful to solve daily programming tasks like implementing finite state machines, it has some serious drawbacks against other programming languages that support the structured programming paradigm. Therefore the PHP core developers decided with one voice to enhance the language by a GOSUB statement. [Read full post…]

• Webdav authentication, authorization and locking (en)

  by Tobias Schlitt on Tue, 06 Jan 2009 18:22:39 +0100

  We just released the 2008.2 release of the eZ Components yesterday. This stable release received 6 months of care by the core developers and many contributors. Thanks to all of you for the great work!My tasks for 2008.2 were dedicated to the Webdav component. This package allows you to easily integrate WebDAV access features into your applications. For the new release I implemented support for authentication and authorization, which allows easy integration into your existing environment. In addition, I added lock support, so the Webdav component now complies to WebDAV class 2 (and almost 3). [Read full post…]

• IPC 2008 wrapup and slides (en)

  by Tobias Schlitt on Fri, 09 Jan 2009 12:34:32 +0100

  The annual family party (aka International PHP Conference) took place a week ago. As usual I enjoyed it much, although I was a bit sick this year. The new location (the "Rheingoldhalle" in Mainz) is really great, but I had the feeling it was a little bit too large. Professional equipment was available and they had 4 large rooms, as well as some smaller ones, for talks. Even the food was very good, which was not the case for the past 2 years in Mörfelden (Frankfurt). [Read full post…]

• Status update and IPC (en)

  by Tobias Schlitt on Fri, 09 Jan 2009 12:34:32 +0100

  So, finally I'm blogging again. I was quite busy with learning for my university exams in the past weeks, which turned out to be a good idea and was honored with best marks for both of them: "Logic based commonsense reasoning" and "Knowledge discovery in databases" (aka datamining). But that part would fit more into a private blog. [Read full post…]

• Really helpful open source guys (en)

  While writing tests for the eZ Components Webdav component I stumbled over an issue with Konqueror 3.5.9. While we have working tests for the PUT request (uploading files) for version 3.5.7, this request type did not work with my recent Konqueror installation. Some debugging and request dumping in Lighttpd later I was quite sure that Konqueror was the issue. [Read full post…]

  One of the cool new features in the new 2008.1 release of the eZ Components library is hierarchical caching. [Read full post…]
