Programming quote – on requirements

Without requirements or design, programming is the art of adding bugs to an empty text file. — Louis Srygley

Typo3 Typoscript snippet Basic configuration

admin — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 19:05:54 +0000

I develop a lot of HTML Typoscript templates for Typo3, without Templavoila or any other fancy extensions. With the release of Typo3 4.5 and the introduction of Backend Layouts there have been a lot of improvements which make Templavoila obsolete in many scenarios.

I will post a few Typoscript snippets I use in a lot of projects over the next few weeks.

Basic configuration stuff

config {
  language = de
  locale_all = de_DE
  doctype = html5
  htmlTag_setParams = lang="de
  prologue = none
  metaCharset = utf-8
  htmlTag_langKey = de-DE
  linkVars = L
  sys_language_uid = 1
  spamProtectEmailAddresses = 1
  spamProtectEmailAddresses_atSubst =  (at) 
}

What this does is to set the language to german, define language url parameters for a multi language setup and try to protect standard email addresses.

More to come soon …

if you don’t laugh you are not a programmer

Theory is when you know something, but it doesn’t work. Practice is when something works, but you don’t know why. Programmers combine theory and practice: Nothing works and they don’t know why.

Programming quote of the day – The debugging dilemma

Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it. — Brian Kernighan

Hello world!

Welcome to my new blog. The old one got old, so I decided to start with a clean slate. If you came here looking for an old post, I’m very sorry, that’s life I guess, out with the old, in with the new.

I’m a web developer working with Drupal, Joomla, WordPress, Zend Framework and Magento so this is what I will write about most of the time.

With new major versions of my favorite cms (WP3, Drupal 7 and Joomla 1.6) dropping on the internets this summer there will be a lot to talk about.

Enjoy & happy coding
