This is the best Jquery slideshow plug-in that I have seen in a long time, good work guys: GalleryView.
CodeIgniter E-Commerce Software
Posted: 13th Aug 2009
Well we are very pleased with our new Halogy powered E-Commerce software. We have just finishing making some new updates to the software which up until now has only really been quite basic. Now you can have your customers write product reviews, set up your own customised shipping bands and postage tables, insert discount coupon codes and lots more.
Halogy Wiki
Posted: 17th Jul 2009
Recently we have been developing a Wiki for Halogy. What's so great about a Wiki is that your community help you develop the pages inside. So you might need a load of documentation written, or you might want to write about a recent project that involved lots of people. Well with a Wiki - everyone can be involved with the writing and this saves you a lot of time!

Jquery Field Replace
Posted: 15th May 2009
It's time for some cool Jquery code, it has been too long - we do apologise.
I've been working on my Jquery Field Replace script which automatically switches the value of an input with the title. This is useful if you want to auto populate an input field to explain what it does but not keep it in there. Code is all yours, but please credit us or at least let us know if you have used it by dropping a comment. Enjoy!
Jquery Lightbox for HTML?
Posted: 22nd Apr 2009
We were trying to find a lightbox plugin that works well for HTML (not just images). Normally we would use Shadowbox but they do charge for a commercial license. So another great plugin one can use and easily adapt for use in your own site - is Facebox which looks and feels just like the Facebook popup. We have adapted it lots to make it work well with our apps and it's great. Check it out here.
Working With WordPress Themes
Posted: 14th Apr 2009
We just finished working on a blog for a Shoe company. We used Wordpress for the Blog engine and we have to say overall it's pretty cool. Installing templates or 'themes' isn't too bad but you have to know PHP and learn the naming conventions of all the Wordpress components - in other words you have to read their documentation (boring!!!).
But yeah the blog looks great, and the implementation was relatively easy... but not as easy as Halogy of course.
Testing Websites in Different Browsers
Posted: 9th Apr 2009
What is the best way to test your website on lots of browsers?
It's very important to make sure the websites you build work across platforms and browsers, but it's not easy to do this unless you have a room full of computers. I use a Mac and I would never buy a PC just for testing stuff (I'd never buy a PC full stop). So what if I need to test in Internet Explorer 8, or Conquerer in Linux for example?
Well we use a variety of tests to make sure our sites are always working nicely in lots of browsers across different platforms - then we can guarantee our work is fully tested. Most of the time we use Virtual Box which is amazing and free, but also for a few bucks you can get a day pass with Litmus which is great for getting screenshots on practically every browser. Any other ways you can think of? We'd like to know.
Jquery Form Validation - Checking Fields
Posted: 8th Apr 2009
TECHY WARNING: Warning this post has 'techy-talk' be warned.
We thought we would share a cool way of checking form fields in Jquery. Just set the submitButton and the requiredFields variables and you are on your way. It is really useful for for validating a form before sending the data to the server (and you should always check before AND after sending the form don't forget!). This could be made in to an even neater, packed function if I had time, maybe later.
Have a play...
