• 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…]

• An awful lot of files in SVN (en)

  by Tobias Schlitt on Thu, 04 Jun 2009 08:31:49 +0200

  Derick was always bitching at me when doing releases for the huge amount of time needed to process the Webdav components sub directory. We always supposed, that the Subversion performance issues here resulted from the Webdav test suite, which consists of an awful lot of small test files and some sub-directories. I finally found the time to refactor the tests and the performance improvement is astonishing. [Read full post…]

• Identity Map pattern (en)

  by Tobias Schlitt on Wed, 22 Apr 2009 14:16:08 +0200

  I first read about the identity map pattern in Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture by Martin Fowler. The pattern affects the data access layer of an application and helps to avoid inconsistencies in data objects of your application.Since yesterdays alpha release of the PersistentObject package in eZ Components, we have an implementation of Identity Map. In this article I want to give you a rough overview on the pattern itself and show you how you can test and use the functionality of PersistentObject. [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…]

• At IPC2k7: The regular family meeting is over (en)

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

  Yesterday night I returned from the yearly International PHP Conference in Frankfurt. As usual this was an amazing event, because you get the chance to meet all those people in real live that you usually only talk to by mail and chat. I really like the ambiance in Mörfelden (where the Conference actually is, not far from Frankfurt), but as Lars stated, it's a good thing that IPC is only 4 days, since a lot of community members would need to detox from alcohol afterwards, if it was longer. ;) You see, we had some great party nights, again.
