AJAX-DWR and TAG CLOUD code is now available in the new JPublish repository

Sun, 20 May 2007 02:14:03 GMT

After a couple of intense days of code cleaning, tweaking, testing and some more development (long week-end here in Canada), I committed the newest version of our AJAX-DWR and the TagCloud support for JPublish. You can grab the source from our new repository.

I am also thinking to implement some Wiki support for our ViewRenderer, so you could for example use Wiki syntax through RADEOX for pages where you don't really need the template logic of Velocity or FreeMarker. My favorite Wiki syntax is Textile and Markdown, but I am only familiar with the RADEOX implementation for now. Anyway, one of these will be supported by JPublish, and should be relatively easy to implement, so stay tuned; JPublish just started to be more interesting :)

Have a nice long week-end,

PS
Hmm, I just found a Markdown implementation in Java, MarkdownJ ... niceeeeee :)

simple Tag Cloud component for JPublish

Wow I can't believe I couldn't post any news all this time. Busy, busy, busy :'( I'll do it today and I am doing it again for those of you using JPublish 2.x for web development.

Today we have tagClouds on the menu ;)

I believe everybody knows what a tagCloud is?! Wikipedia explains that pretty well.

I like a lot the simplicity and the implementation of the tagCloud in Pebble, a wonderful blog framework, written by Simon Brown and I wanted to have something like that for my own web applications I write with JPublish.

I wanted something similar, simple and efficient but designed as a reusable component and this is how I decided to write a new JPublish component called: JPTags, which will allow you to enable tagClouds for any JPublish application. Is a freeware piece of software, still in development but ready to serve ;)

There is also a readme included in the DEMO so you'll find out very quickly how to enable your own tagCloud in your application.

Cheers,
