Just pushed out a little update to HB-Cumulus. This update is purely for the Habari SVN compatible version of the plugin as all it does is add support for blocks. With the pending release of Habari 0.7, I don't envisage there will be any more updates to the 0.6 compatible version of the plugin.

As with Linux, Firefox and Thunderbird are available for Solaris and OpenSolaris in a variety of forms: supplied with the OS, installed separately from a pkg and installed separately from a tarball (both available from Mozilla.org). Of these, the only way you can get any sort of automatic update is with the first option: via an OS update and this tends to lag behind the available releases by quite some margin. Well, that's about to change, at least for some people. I'll get straight into the technical details and leave the background behind all of this to the very end. This post and the accompanying code was inspired by this article on Mozilla Developer Center. Update: Ooops, it would seem the automatic update DOES work by default for the tarball downloads, it just doesn't offer an automatic upgrade between 3.5.x and 3.6.x as I was testing. I'll leave the rest of this post as is as an "education" for those wanting to implement their own internal crude update system. Continue reading ►

Sorry it's been a bit quiet around here recently folks. I haven't been completely offline and neglecting this and my other sites, I've just been lacking the motivation to write or get involved due to recent events on the home front. Sadly, February has been a very tough month for my wife and I: our baby daughter, Lara, unfortunately didn't make it through the open heart surgery she had to undergo in order to rectify two congenital heart defects. I'm not going to go into the details here but if you're interested, I will be posting a series of posts, ... Continue reading ►

I've just released the next revision of HB-Cumulus - rev 1.5. This release now takes full advantage of the new tags functionality in the latest Habari SVN code and also now uses SWFObject 2.2 for the embedding in "non-compatibility" (ie the default) mode. All the other changes are minor and include things like better HTML validation, formatting of the code itself and an update to the tagcloud flash file itself. Downloads are on the HB-Cumulus project page. As this is a new release, I've closed comments on the 1.4 post. If you encounter any problems, please ensure you update ... Continue reading ►

Just a quick update to say that Habari introduced some good changes to tags in r3829 of the SVN code. Unfortunately, these changes break the HB-Cumulus plugin, just the SVN release. I hope to release a new rev of this plugin later this week that takes these changes into account.

Thanks to some good feedback and testing by the chaps in the Habari community, I've pushed out a small minor update to my HB Audio Player plugin which fixes some misbehaviour seen when your theme doesn't use a style.css file in the theme's base directory. From now on, HB Audio Player will only show a "Theme Colours" selection tool if it's managed to successfully locate a style.css file in your theme's base directory and it's found some colours in this file. I've also updated the download filename for the Habari SVN compatible release by using "svn" to indicate the Habari ... Continue reading ►

I've just pushed HB-Cumulus 1.4 out the door. There's no major changes, only a bit of code tidying and I've now also made released a version that is compatible with Habari SVN (which will become 0.7 one day) which uses a new plugin architecture. Downloads are on the HB-Cumulus project page. As this is a new release, I've closed comments on the 1.3 post. If you encounter any problems, please ensure you update to rev 1.4 and if the problem still exists, leave a comment here.

The pkg repositories have now been updated to included the 2009.06 pkgs (What's New preso - PDF). There is no need to perform a clean install, you can just use the Update Manager GUI to update your OpenSolaris 2008.11 release to 2009.06. There is one teeny weeny issue that you may encounter - the Update Manager GUI may tell you that there are no new pkgs available. Sadly, the solution isn't clear or intuitive from the GUI: you need to update the SUNWipkg pkg first. The CLI is clearer about this and tells you that you need to update this... Continue reading ►

I've just pushed out a new revision of HB-Cumulus. This isn't a major update, rather another maintenance update in which I've: Updated tagcloud.swf to that provided with WP-Cumulus 1.20, which includes the following relevant fixes: "Fixed the mouse pointer not changing to a hand when hovering tags." "Adds Turkish language support to the Flash movie." Like the WP-Cumulus plugin, I've also added a "Compatibility" option. When this is enabled, the plugin will not use the SWFObject Javascript to embed the Flash. You can get the latest revision from the HB-Cumulus project page. As this is a new release, ...

Habari 0.6.1 has just been released. It's only a minor update, but does include some relatively significant fixes, including the "re-introduction" of Postgres support (it wasn't really removed before, just not updated. It is now).
