Something Print Designers would be happy with…

Baseline CSS
http://baselinecss.com/grid.html
Something designers working with frequently request is for the text to be aligned to the baseline. That is equal baseline for text even if they are in different DIV. These different DIV might have different padding or margins making them aligned to whatever other DIV needed.
Will take the CSS library for a test drive to find out if that works.

Leading Zeros removed by Spreadsheet?
Posted on | September 2, 2009 | No Comments
Use =”000123″ when exporting zero padded numbers in CSV to prevent the leading zeros from being removed. Works in Excel and OpenOffice
$csv->addField(’=”‘.$student['Cda']['branch_code'].’”‘);
Setting up Cakephp for Application Development
Posted on | July 5, 2009 | No Comments
I like to keep the CAKPHP ROOT files (/cake/) in a folder of its own and my /app in the working folders. This way, the CAKEPHP ROOT files are not SVNed and that keeps my repos smaller.
My folder structure:
D:\www\cakephp_1_2
D:\www\video_tutorial\app
D:\www\video_tutorial\vendors
D:\www\project 1\app
D:\www\project 1\vendors
All my vendors files for all projects are stored in D:\www\cakephp_1_2\vendors. If it is project specific, it goes to the project’s own folder.
In the project’s folder, index.php in webroot folder, change the CAKE_CORE_INCLUDE_PATH constant to allow the app to locate the CAKEPHP ROOT files and include them.
D:\www\video_tutorial\app\webroot\index.php
/**
* The full path to the directory which holds "app", WITHOUT a trailing DS.
*
*/
if (!defined('ROOT')) {
define('ROOT', dirname(dirname(dirname(dirname(__FILE__)))));
}
/**
* The actual directory name for the "app".
*
*/
if (!defined('APP_DIR')) {
define('APP_DIR', basename(dirname(dirname(dirname(__FILE__)))).DS.'app');
}
/**
* The absolute path to the "cake" directory, WITHOUT a trailing DS.
*
*/
if (!defined('CAKE_CORE_INCLUDE_PATH')) {
define('CAKE_CORE_INCLUDE_PATH', ROOT.DS.'cakephp_1_2');
}
