Ansel now has support for javascript "widgets" to enable embedding galleries on external sites or blogs.

The first Tuesday of the month falling on the first /day/ of the month caught us all off guard. Apparently we need a calendar.

Horde/Routes is a URL mapping system for PHP 5. It is a direct port of the Routes, a Python library that is part of the Pylons project. Horde/Routes is a standalone library designed to be integrated into any MVC framework.

This release brings in some changes from Routes 1.8. The most noticeable change is that custom actions on RESTful routes are now delimited with the forward slash (/) instead of the semicolon (;). This was done for parity with Ruby on Rails.

I have also fixed some bugs, notably that the resource route generator failed to generate routes that recognized PUT and DELETE requests on “formatted” resources (/messages/1.xml). This fix will be merged upstream to the Python version.

I am also using the Python version and I met with Ben Bangert, the author of the Python version, at PyCon 2008. Each release of Horde/Routes has resulted in patches to the Python version. It’s nice how this small ecosystem has developed around the routes concept between these projects (Ruby on Rails, Pylons, and our work in Horde).

Since Horde/Routes 0.3, the default RESTful routes generated by Horde/Routes are fully compatible with the latest version of ActiveResource. We have a new project at work that is using Horde/Routes and ActiveResource together and it works well.

During a recent web site refactoring, I decided to take a look at Horde_Routes and give it a try. This article summarizes what I discovered.

Summary: reactions to Horde 3.2, discussions of version control systems, and some planning for Horde 4.0

We've come to an end. After 30 months of development and one of the longest releases processes in the history of the Horde Project, we finally released Horde 3.2, DIMP 1.0, Horde Groupware 1.1 and bunch of other applications.

The Horde Project has a booth on the exhibition during LinuxTag 2008 in Berlin.

I'm a dad! Some details and a few thumbnails after the jump.

In this installment, we'll take a look at a real world example of using Horde to power an external website by building a custom photo gallery with Ansel.

In this second part of the series, we will look at using Horde's RPC server to get information from a remote Horde server via Horde's RPC interface.
