Select all checkboxes with JQuery
Posted: 6th Mar 2009
We have just built a cool 'select all checkboxes' function in JQuery and released the code. It is for administrators of Halogy to be able to simply grant permissions to their users at a category level, but if they want to they can open up the category and grant individual permissions.
Sharing Haloweb history - MusoFinder
Posted: 6th Mar 2009
I wanted to share a site we did years ago, called MusoFinder. It started off as a simple idea for connecting musicians launched in 2003. It now has over 40,000 registered users and is one of the most commonly used search engines for musicans. It is a piece of Haloweb history of which we are proud. Check it out.
Jquery Date Picker
Posted: 9th Mar 2009
We have been looking around for a nice way of selecting dates in forms. You see them a lot when you go to flight comparison sites. Well we found one that is very cool and utilises the Jquery UI library. Funnily enough, it is called date picker - look out for it in our apps!
New Permissions System on Halogy
Posted: 11th Mar 2009
We have finished building some amazing new features to Halogy. We are so excited about them and we are itching to create new screencasts to show the features in action. Halogy has grown ten fold over the last couple of months and not only that but the branding is coming along nicely (more to come on that later).
The features include a new permissions system, an events system and enhancements to the templating part of the CMS.
Please make it easy to use!
Posted: 11th Mar 2009
At Haloweb we are obsessed with making things easy to use and keeping things simple. Right from the design and tidiness of our code through to the layout of forms and buttons. The web has to be easy to use and we need to be user focused and not 'techy' in our approach to building websites and applications. Halogy has been built with this in mind. If something doesn't make sense or is complicated, we'll scrap it and start again. Usability is a value of Haloweb.
The Halogy Screencasts - Templates (advanced)
Posted: 12th Mar 2009
In this second Halogy screencast we go in to much more detail showing you how to use the template system of Halogy. In under 10 minutes we take a static HTML build and create a dynamic website out of it. WARNING: This video carries a 'techy' warning!

Earlier we shared about our new permissions system. We have made a quick screencast showing you this new feature and how easy it is to grant different permissions to your users.
12 Free Garden Textures
Posted: 16th Mar 2009
In web design we often use textures from photos to give a website a certain look and feel. For example, a site about gardening may benefit from a grass texture in the footer, or maybe a wood grain background (was very popular in 2008!).
Project Management Made Easy
Posted: 18th Mar 2009
Over the last year we have been working on a web application called Project Bubble. The aim is to provide project management software for self-employed people or small businesses that has the really easy to use philosophy. We use BaseCamp and we like it, but we want to provide our own offering with a Haloweb angle. So in comes Project Bubble, a fun, friendly and easy to use account and project management system.
