Royal Mail Postage by Weight – Zend Framework Module

July 18, 2011 in Zend Framework

For a recent project I have had to calculate weight based shipping costs. Before I had this as a db table, but that became a mess to manage.

So I’ve created this small shipping calculator. It’s set to use KG in weight and prices inclusive of vat taken from the Royal Mail’s 2011 Prices.

TinyMCE and Zend_Auth – Simple Authentication checking.

March 11, 2011 in Zend Framework

I’ve been using TinyMCE for a good long while and wanted to integrate their fantastic FileManager plugin and ImageManager plugin’s (Both Commercial) in with my ZF client site.

HTML5 Data attributes and jQuery’s .data – pairing made in heaven

May 12, 2010 in jQuery Plugins

UPDATE jQuery 1.4.3+ now does this in core. No need for this plugin! I really like the idea of the data-* properties in the spec for HTML5, unfortunately they’re not supported directly by any browser it seems yet; even jQuery 1.4.2 doesn’t really support them (due to the non-browser support I guess). Anyway, I really [...]
