A brief not to say that I'll be putting a couple of Demos back on the site, and I'll be adding to the main demo page as I go. All of the demos will be put up as plugins.

The pagination demo and source has always been available, and adding to that, the the next example is the Title tutorial. A very simple example based on the original tutorial from the wiki demonstrating the use of associations, requestAction, class/method inheritance and AJAX.

Next on the list is to tidy up and make useful the ajax-chat that I wrote a while back, with any luck that will pop up tomorrow.

Following on from my previous post, I thought I'd mention a similar use that can make a developers life a little easier. Usually when developing software there are at least 3 environments: Development, Test and Production. For larger projects there may be more, but for a simple website (and a tiny team of 1) there is often 2 environments: the one on the development machine and the live site.

So picture the scene, you just finished adding some enhancements to your website, all goes remarkably well on your local machine, and after running through your last few tests you decide you are ready for the move to your production server. So, you export the database, initiate the file transfer and then go to your live site and.... disaster: You have a completely blank screen that you desperately want to get rid of. What do you do? The error doesn't occur on your local machine so you have to debug in the production environment - better do it quick before a user notices and phones the helpline... But there is a better way.
