jQuery for Beginners
Posted: 23rd Nov 2009
Following my article on Woorkup, I thought I'd just post a working demo of what I wrote about - a basic jQuery form fade.
Copy and paste the code below in to your website, and it should work! I have also put a working demo below as well.
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.pack.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
$('.showform').click(function(event){
event.preventDefault();
$('#mydiv').fadeIn();
});
});
</script>
<!--Start of container div, and form-->
<div id="mydiv" style="display:none;">
<form id="myform" action="wherever.php" method="post">
<input name="myinput" type="text" />
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
</div>
<p>To show the form <a class="showform" href="/mylink.php">click here</a>.</p>
<!-- End of form and container div -->
To show the form click here.

Drupal vs Halogy
Posted: 15th Oct 2009
I have been using Drupal this week to build a website with a shop (Ubercart), user login, and obviously content managed areas. I built the HTML/CSS from a provided design (as you normally would), and then went about uploading it to Drupal and setting up the Shop.
It took me the best part of 8-10 hours to install, configure and set up this website (not including the time taken to build the HTML/CSS). It wasn't very easy, and I had to download a lot of modules and configure them just to get a shop running. Please read on...
CMS Template Design and Build
Posted: 1st Oct 2009
We have just finished designing and building some templates for Halogy CMS.
The process is similar to other CMS like Wordpress or Drupal - do the information architecture design, design the look and feel in Photoshop, then build it in to HTML/CSS. The next part will be integrating it in to the CMS. We are pleased with what we've done so far.

Posted: 21st Sep 2009
We just wanted to show off this new autosave feature of Halogy powered by this amazing Jquery plugin. We had to make a few customisations but it's working well.

SEO Friendly CMS
Posted: 2nd Sep 2009
We have been looking at other CMSs (by the way it's CMSs or CMS not CMS Systems - just a little bugbear of ours!) that provide Search Engine Friendly (SEO) pages. There are a few, some complicated, some not complicated.
Halogy provides all of it's URLs in a Search Engine Friendly manner, allows for meta tagging, meta descriptions and automatically generates site maps, robots.txt and backlinks in the blog. So we think that it's pretty cool (of course).
If you want to know more you should have a look at the ThirtyDayChallenge as they cover SEO very well. They provide a list of free resources too to help get your blog search engine optimised, like Weebly and others.
Our Ethos (Web Development Process)
Posted: 31st Aug 2009
I thought I would just share a bit about how we think the web development process should work - from when a client submits a brief to the site being handed over (and beyond). We are calling this the Halogy Ethos because it forms the basis of why we built Halogy.
Headlines Module for Halogy
Posted: 28th Aug 2009
We have recently been working for a client called the Philo Trust building their new site in Halogy. In their brief they requested site-wide feeds from modules such as Shop and Events. In other words they wanted to be able to have a sidebar which always showed what was in their cart, what events are upcoming and what blog posts are recent.
Halogy Donations Module
Posted: 19th Aug 2009
We have just been working on a donations module for Halogy where shoppers are asked whether they want to add a donation to their shopping cart. Upon doing so the donation is simply added to the checkout.
Also the module enables websites to have a donations page where they can make a donation separately and use Gift Aid (so the organisation can benefit from claiming back the tax). So this could be a really useful feature for charities and organisations needing donations.
