PHP Data Objects (PDO) extension

tmurdock — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 03:02:24 +0000

I have just finished (hopefully no bugs) updating qWikiOffice to use The PHP Data Objects (PDO) extension.

According to http://www.php.net,
“PDO ships with PHP 5.1, and is available as a PECL extension for PHP 5.0; PDO requires the new OO features in the core of PHP 5, and so will not run with earlier versions of PHP”.

system/os/config.php has been updated like so:


public $DB_CONN_STRING = ‘mysql:dbname=qwikioffice;host=localhost’;
public $DB_USERNAME = ‘root’;
public $DB_PASSWORD = ”;

Version 1.0

A note: Version 1.0. is an alpha version.

That is what I get for rushing late at night to release the zip file. I know people are anxious to see what is new.

I admit I just wanted to create the zip file, post it, and go to bed. So I forgot to label it as being an alpha release. I’ll update the download page to reflect this.

Version 1.0

tmurdock — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 06:56:12 +0000

Yes… version 1.0 is available from the download page. Read the Release Notes to see what is new.

I have made so many updates recently I felt it is to a version 1.0 now.
Draggable shortcuts and the System tray will be in a 1.x version.

Version 0.9

tmurdock — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 07:39:02 +0000

Version 0.9 should be out by end of this week. What it includes:

1. Privilege system.
2. Many updates to the ‘os’. (organizing the server code).
3. Color Picker for the Preferences module (needs some tweeks yet).
4. Yannick’s theme updates.
5. Hope to finish the dependency handling.

Version 0.8.1

tmurdock — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 09:21:47 +0000

The demo has been updated. No more menu modules. The new module property ‘menuPath‘ will now handle it.

For example, when setting up your module, you can now do the following:

moduleId: ‘demo-bogus’,
menuPath: ‘StartMenu/Bogus Menu/Bogus Sub Menu’,
…

Right now the Start Menu / Tool Menu are sorted alphabetically. I’ll post the zip file Friday night, Version 0.8.1.

Version 0.8 Available

tmurdock — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 18:56:43 +0000

I have just posted Version 0.8 on the download page.

Demo Updated

tmurdock — Sat, 04 Oct 2008 20:23:18 +0000

I just updated the demo to version 0.8.

New is the ‘Modules on Demand’ feature. I should be able to post the zip file yet this weekend.

What is next?

System Tray
Updates to Preferences module
Draggable shorcuts

Stay tuned.

Modules on demand, System tray, qWikiMail

tmurdock — Mon, 15 Sep 2008 01:15:09 +0000

Just a heads up. It’s been a while since I have given an update. Currently I am working on the following features:

Modules on demand
System tray

From the Preferences module, users will be able to select which modules they want to be loaded at startup. All other modules will load on demand.

A system tray with clock is also in the works.

The qWikiMail module is about 90% complete.
