If you've used Cart66 before then I'm sure you realize it's pretty lacking in features. In fact to really get a store going you have to do a lot of manual intervention and hacking. It just doesn't seem very clean. The idea that you have to make a post or page your self for every product seems very kludge and has been a bit cumbersome for most users. That is why I wrote this plugin cart66_migrate to Migrate Cart66 to WP-e-Commerce. The plugin utilizes the ecommerce_feeder plugin to import the items to your WP-e-Commerce store.

With CakePHP 2.0 the authentication system has been completely redesigned to allow for extending the Auth component to allow other methods of authentication and authorization. I finally sat down last weekend and updated my LDAPAuth component to work with the new version. While I was doing it I added a few new features that people had been asking for. Also by updating this component I ended up also updating the Ldap Datasource. This included a lot of code cleanup as well. You can get the new code at https://github.com/analogrithems/idbroker/tree/dev_cake2.0 To get things going download the idbroker code from github and place it...

There have been many times where I need to have some sort of revision ability in my cake apps. I've looked through the bakery and never found a very good clean solution. I thought about it for a bit and it seems like a pretty simple thing to do, so I made a light weight simple behavior that provides this The behavior is built into a plugin because it also has an simple model(table) that it uses to store revisions for all the other tables. The idea is that when ever you update your table this behavior will jump in, grab...

Here is an awesome script I found to change the admin password on all the computers in your domain. It uses a simple visual basic object to search for all the computers in your domain's Active Directory then loops through each computer and sets a new password for the Administrator account.

It's 2011 and we still don't have cyborg implants available. This is a sad state because the technology was being worked on a decade ago. One of the least know studies was done at UC Berkeley by Garrett Stanley, Fei Li and Yang Dan. In their experiment they tapped into the lateral geniculate nucleus of a cat. This is inside the thalamus which is the sensory processing unit of the brain. They used a linear decoding technique to convert the signals coming from 177 cells into actual images. Now the image quality is actually dependant off of how many cells...

Looking to Migrate osCommerce to Wordpress eCommerce? Now you can, I'd like to introduce the osCommerce Migrate tool for Wp-e-Commerce. Once a upon a time you really only had one choice when it came to an opensource php cart and it was called osCommerce. This worked for many people for a long time. The problem is that osCommerce stalled and stopped evolving with the rest of the web. Well, now their are lots of new opensource php shopping carts. One of the best OpenSource shopping carts in my opinion is Wordpress e-Commerce. The osCommerce Migrate plugin is in beta and for...

It's been over a year since I wrote the first version of the CakePHP LdapAuth & Ldap Datasource. What I've learned over the last year is that a simple component & datasource is not enough and it should really be a full plugin. So I started working on Idbroker. The new plugin offers the following * A ldap Datasource that bad been tested with Iplanet, Netscape Directory Server, OpenLDAP & Active Directory * A revised Ldap Auth component that works with CakePHP 1.3 * A simple application (Which is still in development) that uses both and will give great examples of how to...
