Forget the calendar I wrote yesterday about. It isn't very easy to change the display format of the date it uses. I prefer to use a date in the form dd-mm-yyyy. Not with an English name. The project is for a Dutch client, so it isn't acceptable to show "july 11, 2007".
I've restored my original implemenation.
Found another Rails calendar popup
I finally found a more friendly date select plugin for rails: http://code.google.com/p/calendardateselect/
I will test it in my project I currently involved in.
Using it seams very easy:
<%= calendar_date_select_tag "e_date" %>;
The only requirement is to include the following in the head of the layout
<%= calendar_date_select_includes %>;
Adding Syntax Highlighting to WordPress
I Just added syntax highlighting to WordPress. As a development blog I must be able to show some descent code samples!
I tried the pugin wp-syntax http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-syntax/, but adding a <pre> element requires me to go to the code pane and editor the code there. (And make me type every special char like & as &)
With this syntax highlighting I'm not very happy because it places the highlighting above a black background.
Another highliger codesnippet-20 Is capable of editing in design time. I just need to place the code between:
Code text
You can even change the style setting in an options tab of Wordpres
To enable this, just:
- Simply download the plugin from: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/codesnippet-20/
- Extract it to the wp-content/plugins directory
- Activate it in the plugins panel
- And off you go.. Formatting code can be done with: [ code lang="LANGUAGE" ]...[ /code]
There's just one problem... TinyMCE removes my spaces !! An using a style "white-space: pre" gives me to many newlines because the highlighting adds newlines....
Aaaaaaargh!!!
Well I will look at this later.
Btw. I also found a DokuWiki syntax plugin for WordPress... That sounds promising, I use dokuwiki for my internal wiki, and this wiki contains a lot of code snippets!
Started My BLog
This is the first posting of my Blog. I started a blog to write things down I’m doing and try to do while coding.
A few days ago I missed a blog so I could rant my frustrations about some Flash development I was trying to do. The same goes for my quest for the perfect text editor.
The projects/thing I would like to place on this blog are:
- Application Development (java, c++, c .. )
- Web Development ( php, rails, ajax.. )
- Tools: editors, version control, grep
- FreeBSD, Linux and Windows
- And other important stuff
The start of the Blog is at the right time, just before my Holiday *sigh*. So it’s going to be a little quite at the start. I need to spend some time with my Wife and Kid.
After some fast googling I decided to take WordPress and some predefined layout for my Blog. It’s just a simple page so I can rant my frustrations.
I hope I will be able to post on a regular basis, but who knows, this time I might succeed ;-)
