What are you up to !

After thinking about setting up trac as a development workspace, I decided to build the required tools myself.

I just finished the SVN integration. I also rewrote the static content handler to work more like a classic wiki enviroment, including full revision support, text diff highlight for changes and automatic page creation.

I am glad I decided to build these tools myself, as it provides me with alot more freedom and extends the framework really nicely. These things are really becoming handy, as I have been using the static content feature alot lately, for myself and customers.

Cheers
Alexander

portalZINE NMN | Development meets Creativity |“Sandboxie is active upstream from any infections which may occur in
computers equipped with a Windows OS. This software isolates navigation
files and applications functions which it redirects into a sandbox.

Downloaded files such as scripts and other programs are locked in replicas of the directories normally used. Furthermore, Sandboxie uses a copy of part of the Windows Registry in order to protect the original from malicious insertions.

Thus, the modifications carried out under the protections of
Sandboxie are not effective in authentic files. Parasites and bugs that
are locked in it do not affect the operating system. Any new files or
changes which are to be kept should be registered outside the sandbox after having checked their validity.”

There are easier ways to embed flash these days than adding the required tags by hand. I have used SWFObject and UFO int past to handle that task easily and dynamically in my applications. Both are unobtrusive libraries, which means that all (X)HTML, CSS and JavaScript code is fully separated from each other.

SWFObject
SWFObject is a small Javascript file used for embedding Adobe Flash
content. The script can detect the Flash plug-in in all major web
browsers (on Mac and PC) and is designed to make embedding Flash movies
as easy as possible. It is also very search engine friendly, degrades
gracefully, can be used in valid HTML and XHTML 1.0 documents.

UFO
UFO is a DOM script that detects the Flash plug-in and embeds Flash
objects (files with the .swf extension). It has its roots in the Web
Standards community and is designed to support W3C standards compliant,
accessible and search engine friendly web design. It also contains
several features and best practice techniques that other scripts
currently don’t have.UFO is a DOM script that detects the Flash plug-in and embeds Flash objects.

Both projects have joined forces and are developing SWFFix, which is still in beta.
