Version control access has been restored to the phpWebSite project.
SVN access available! - phpWebSite
I had a bright idea last week.  One of the annoying aspects of phpWebSite maintenance is downloading individual modules, expanding them, and copying them over the existing modules. Why not use Subversion to update the core and mod  directories of phpWebSite? [...]

In a previous post I started creating a phpWebSite theme based on Blueprint. My plan is to convert an existing phpWebSite to the latest version but a theme for the latest phpWebSite(1.3.0) is not ready yet. Since my idea of humor is frequently referred to as cheesy I am calling this new theme, Bleuprint.The theme has [...]

I have decided to do some playing around with unit tests for PHP. I saw a video on Getting Involved in WordPress and it reminded me of my interest in unit testing. Now I almost want to create some unit tests for verifying WordPress plugins or phpWebSite code. Fortunately, common sense will prevail and I [...]

I have been pondering for some time whether to convert existing web sites from phpWebSite to WordPress. It is difficult for me to think about these things since I quickly jump to the implementation details. So I decided to back off and look at the problem from the viewpoint of communication styles. For this quick [...]

I finally bit the bullet and decided to create a new theme for the new version of phpWebSite. Part of my problem with starting this project is that I think that WordPress might be a better solution for these web sites. One of the big advantages that WordPress is an abundance of good looking, standards [...]

I spent some time this week fixing up the print versions of some html pages. You could call the pages, product pages, and they are the most likely candidates to be printed by a customer. They looked okay in the browser but they suffered when printed. IE had the most problems. I thought a print.css [...]

Problem
I want to have a one-pixel one-color solid border around a table and its cells. Adding border=”1″ to the table tag isn’t suitable, because it looks horrific in most of the browsers.

Source: One-pixel table border with CSS
I was confronted with this same problem in phpWebsite. I was using a table to display the pedigree [...]

I just finished installing phpWebSite on XAMPP . I am a fan of phpWebsite and use it as inexpensive CMS for a couple of web sites. Probably the biggest problem with phpWebSite that I have found is that it is not supported by some web host providers. WordPress on the other hand is supported by [...]

Well I finally went after the rest of the annoyances I have with my website layout for the farm. I had been thinking about modifying the color scheme so one thing led to another. The first thing I went after was cleaning up my positioning in the mast head. As a quick fix I had [...]

Well it took me a long time but I finally got around to researching and fixing some annoyances. This all started with some text in the right column that flowed over into the center/left column. In this case it was a calendar event. So I went looking for the likely suspect, an unnecessary table, and [...]

I have started using the Wiki for phpWebSite on my main website as an alternative way to document some SBS procedures, QuickBooks tips, and Habitat research. There was a little learning curve for me since I have never used a wiki before but it is pretty handy. It definitely is a viable alternative to Article [...]

One of my websites had a corrupt database two days ago. When I went to cPanel to check and repair it, the process never completed. I ended up submitting a trouble ticket to
bluehost.com. They replied in a couple of hours and offered to restore the database from the weekly backup. I told them to [...]

I found several bugs in Article Manager 2.8 yesterday so I went back to 2.7. This first bug appears on the home page as a separate block. It says it cannot find an article in a red font and then proceeds to create normal looking Article Manger block below it with all of the current [...]

Eloi has continued to refine Article Manager. The latest verions is 2.8. I have used it on two sites and I like the results. Most of the documents I want to publish fit into the style he supports so we are a good match. I am sure I could use a different style with Article [...]

I finally got around to creating a print.css for one of my phpWebsite-based websites. The site is an almost table-less design so all I had to do was turn off the blocks I did not want to see on the print document. I was kind of forced into creating it since the default print icon [...]

Yesterday I decided to update one of my sites to the latest version of phpWebsite. I had already transferred the file to website when I accidentally went into the Fantastico script facility. I had used Fantastico to install phpWebsite successfully. I assumed Fantastico was used to “just” install new applications. Updates are much harder than [...]
