Radria Blog

Ofuz is based on Radria

philippe — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 02:36:06 +0000

Ofuz uses a lot of Open Source frameworks Zend, Jquery, Dojo with Radria as the core OO MVC engine.

Until the Ofuz community gets its own web site we will use Radria blog and forum for all developer related news and information.

Our goal with Ofuz is to create an strong base where developer can build custom business application on top of it.

We have a couple of great API that we will start documenting soon and then will open discussions on licensing and plugin API for Ofuz.

Stay tune…

Radria is still in its early stages but its has been in use with commercial products for a couple of years already.

Below are a few sites we know of that have been built with Radria Ajax PageBuilder.
Some are static while others are database driven.

The Concord World Travel web sites:
They are database driven with a user friendly back end administration.

Bespin, new web based editor

philippe — Sun, 01 Mar 2009 22:18:27 +0000

Very excited about the Bespin project.

Its a new project from the mozilla lab to create a full web based editor in Javascript.
Our early test as been pretty negative right now. The video demo look cool but when we tried it, it hang our computers.
Still their uses of HTML 5 canvas is very interesting and the project goals are promising.

Radria is currently using EditArea that we love. Its an amazing piece of code that easy to use, implement and customize.
But its is limited when the files get to big and become pretty slow.

Center Pages with PageBuilder

philippe — Sun, 15 Feb 2009 01:18:07 +0000

Most of the modern design today center the content of the page in the web browser.

By default the PageBuilder pages are design align to the left. I will explain how you can display you pages centered once published or on preview.

For this you need to edit the default header file. The file is in your project at:
includes/header.inc.php

You will need an FTP access, or the file manager package installed to edit it.

in that page replace the body tag with the following:

if ($_GET[’inpagebuilder’] == “yes”) { ?>
bgcolor=” echo $background_color;?>” background=” echo $background_image; ?>“>
} else { ?>
bgcolor=” echo $background_color;?>” background=” echo $background_image; ?>” style=”text-align: center;”>
style=”margin: 0 auto; width: 800px; text-align: left; position: relative;”>
} ?>

Thats all, now you continue creating the pages left align in the PageBuilder and click preview to see it centered.

Javascript coverflow Add-on

philippe — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 17:33:37 +0000

Based on the amazing imageflow scripts, we have created an add-on for PageBuilder.

This add-on displays a coverflow effect (like on iTune) to display a set of images from your application and project.

Screenshot:

This add-on should now be available as imageflow 0.9 in your PageBuilder Add-on repository.

Once you install the package open PageBuilder and look for ImageFlow in the list of Add-ons, then click on the coverflow link to add it to your page and set the images you want to display in it.
You need to have the images already in your site.

Radria 0.8.4 is out

philippe — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 15:53:37 +0000

This new version of Radria now works on Windows computers/servers using a WAMP stack.

We have fixed a number of bugs including the gettext dependency that was breaking the install script and all installations that didn’t had the gettext extension installed.

This new version can be downloaded at:

PageBuilder 3.8

philippe — Wed, 06 Feb 2008 22:06:48 +0000

Version 3.8 of PageBuilder is now available on sourceforge or in Radria package repositories.

This new version includes many bug fixes, especially gettext dependency. It now works without errors when the gettext extension is not installed.

PageBuilder is one of the tools that compose the Radria project.
It’s a web based WYSIWYG web application builder.
Perfect to compose graphic user interfaces.
Built in PHP and Javascript to create PHP and Javascript web applications.

S3 Amazon web service (aws)

philippe — Sun, 03 Feb 2008 00:52:35 +0000

As part of a global move to high availability hosting technology, we at SQLFusion have started pushing to Radria
everything you would need to make a web application run smoothly inside a web and database cluster.

The first component is the S3 field type.

S3 is a reliable storage solution from Amazon, easy to use and inexpensive (for highly reliable storage).

Let’s say you have a web application where your users can upload documents or pictures.
On a single server this is not a problem, you can just store them on the file system.
But this is not ideal in a cluster environment because you will need to track all the users’ files on your file system and sync them with all the web server nodes.

The most common solution is to upload the users files and document on a SAN device.
So you can leave your application scripts on web server nodes and store.
But if you don’t have a $20,000 SAN device you can use S3.

We have integrated S3 in Radria as a field type for your database table or data objects.
When you create a new data field in one of your tables you can just set that field to be a S3 image or file.
When creating the field you automatically setup the bucket and the Amazon keys and that’s all you have to do.

Then everything will feel and work like a standard file upload and download from your site but in the background the file will be downloaded and uploaded to the Amazon servers.

Its sounds complicated but its incredibly simple.
The most complicated part is to create and setup an account at http://aws.amazon.com/

Abhik is the lead developer on this project.
If not already available it should be in a few days to our Development libraries and tools
packages repository.

You will need to install it in WebIDE once and in all the projects where you plan to use it.
