kfm2: example widget

As an example of a front-end widget, I’ve whipped up a demo of file-tree navigation using the excellent jsTree widget.

here is the demo

You can see from the source how short it is – all it does is load up the jsTree library (and jQuery), then it connects directly to KFM2 to get data about the [...]

kfm2: plugin management

I know, I promised this last week – I’m afraid I’ve been up to my eyes in work and just exhausted at home, so all I can do is apologise.

Anyway, I’ve put together the basics enough that there is one single plugin, which gets a directory listing, and echoes it to the screen in JSON.

KFM2 has begun. requesting ideas of sample plugins to develop

As ye all know now, KFM1.x is finished. I’m not interested in struggling with it anymore. I’ve started a new project which will exceed KFM1.x’s capabilities.

The main problem with 1.x was that it was monolithic – there was one single ... [More] codebase, which encompassed both the server-side and the client-side. The client-side code was useless without [...] [Less]

KFM2: the beginning

KFM 1.x has reached the end of its development. It has fulfilled its original purpose; to improve on the default file-manager for FCKeditor, and well-exceeded it.

From my records, I can see that KFM has been installed on over 9000 separate domains. That is quite a lot of sites, and says quite loudly how important it [...]

The book has been completed, in that all the chapters are written, and it’s in the final edit phase at the moment. This involves Packt [...]

I debugged a problem for a friend of mine over the last day. He had installed bbPress on a server which also had WordPress on it, and his WordPress site just suddenly stopped serving comments and pages, and started killing the database server instead.

In the end (after a day of considering this and that and [...]

update on Me

Quick update of what’s happening in the world of Kae.
I’ve been busy recently with a new project in the office, making an ultra-WebME system which can be used by companies who are not web designers, to offer their clients “pre-packaged” websites. I may elaborate on that in a few weeks once the pilot study is [...]

webme: admins, frontend editing, KFM, and comments

I’ve done a bit more updating of the WebME code.
I realised I’d forgotten to add some code to create the first admin. That’s fixed now - just go to the admin area. If there are no existing admins, then the first attempt to login will create a valid user account.
You can insert images and stuff [...]
