The Django Debug Toolbar is a configurable set of panels that display various debug information about the current request/response and when clicked, display more details about the panel’s content.

Currently, the following panels have been written and are working:

• Django version
• Request timer
• A list of settings in settings.py
• Common HTTP headers
• GET/POST/cookie/session variable display
• Templates and context used, and their template paths
• SQL queries including time to execute and links to EXPLAIN each query
• List of signals, their args and receivers
• Logging output via Python’s built-in logging, or via the logbook module

There is also one Django management command currently:

• debugsqlshell: Outputs the SQL that gets executed as you work in the Python interactive shell.

 Following this procedure, you will disable access control on the MySQL server. All connexions will have a root access. It is a good thing to unplug your server from the network or at least disable remote access.

To reset your mysqld password just follow these instructions :

• Stop the mysql demon process using this command :

   sudo /etc/init.d/mysql stop

• Start the mysqld demon process using the –skip-grant-tables option with this command

   sudo /usr/sbin/mysqld --skip-grant-tables --skip-networking &

Because you are not checking user privs at this point, it’s safest to disable networking.

• start the mysql client process using this command

   mysql -u root

• from the mysql prompt execute this command to be able to change any password

   FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

• Then reset/update your password

   SET PASSWORD FOR root@'localhost' = PASSWORD('password');

• If you have a mysql root account that can connect from everywhere, you should also do:

   UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('newpwd') WHERE User='root';

• Alternate Method:

   USE mysql 
   UPDATE user SET Password = PASSWORD('newpwd') 
   WHERE Host = 'localhost' AND User = 'root';

• And if you have a root account that can access from everywhere:

   USE mysql 
   UPDATE user SET Password = PASSWORD('newpwd') 
   WHERE Host = '%' AND User = 'root';

For either method, once have received a message indicating a successful query (one or more rows affected), flush privileges:

 FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Then stop the mysqld process and relaunch it with the classical way:

 sudo /etc/init.d/mysql stop 
 sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start

Note: This method is not regarded as the securest way of resetting the password. However it works.

The Template library, written for the CodeIgniter PHP-framework, is a wrapper for CI’s View implementation. Template is a reaction to the numerous questions from the CI community regarding how one would display multiple views for one controller, and how to embed “views within views” in a standardized fashion. In addition, Template provides extra Views loading capabilities, the ability to utilize any template parser (like Smarty), and shortcuts for including CSS, JavaScript, and other common elements in your final rendered HTML.

Template is right for you if:

• You feel like using views can be clunky, especially when “embedding” views.
• You don’t like calling header, footer, and other global views from every Controller method.
• You prefer having one “master template” that can be changed for any controller in order to meet unique application design needs.
• You don’t want to drastically alter the way you interface controllers and views.
• You like clear, thorough documentation on par with CodeIgniter’s User Guide.

Ready to give Template a shot? Download it now and get started.

What’s New in Version 1.4.1?

Version 1.4.1 is mostly a maintenance release, fixing comment and documentation typos. In addition, the 1.4.1 download now ships with its documentation. And finally, the Template class was renamed to work more like a core library so you can extend/overload/replace it in your application libraries folder, among other things.

Download Version 1.4.1

Template’s Approach

Template works by writing to pre-defined regions of a master template. Although you will most often write to your template from a Controller, you can write content to these regions from any part of your application. Content could be a simple string of plain text, HTML, or the results from a View. Regions display by echoing variables placed throughout your master template as desired. Template also lets you use multiple template configurations, making it completely flexible to meet the needs of your application’s design.

Here’s what using template looks like:

$this->template->write('title', 'Introduction to Template');
$this->template->write_view('content', 'blog/posts', $this->blog->get_posts());
$this->template->render();Look interesting? Head over to the Getting Started section to begin using Template in your next CodeIgniter application.

The solution is very easy:

1. Open your MySQL configuration file: my.cnf or my.ini depending on your operation system.
2. Locate [mysqld] section which usually goes at the top of file.
3. Add this setting to the section:
   

   default-storage-engine = InnoDB

4. Restart MySQL server.
5. Enjoy your new new tables created as InnoDB w/o any additional worry.

The setting is applied to CREATE TABLE queries as well as tables created with phpMyAdmin, navicat and possibly any other MySQL client.

If you can’t change MySQL configuration file you still can change default storage engine used during a session by setting storage_engine system variable:

SET storage_engine=InnoDB;

jo is a lightweight JavaScript framework designed for HTML5 apps.Available as a zip download or with git from GitHub.

jo does

• Embrace JavaScript’s object model and loosely typed nature
• Leverage CSS3 to handle as much of the pretty presentation and animation as possible
• Provide a consistent and modular event model between objects
• Wrap DOM and device-specific events into a cohesive gesture system
• Insulate developers from different persistent storage solutions
• Play nicely with other libraries like PhoneGap

Philosophy

If you want to jam an existing web page into an application framework, jo probably isn’t for you. jo is designed to create applications. While it will play nicely with a mixture of new and old web development techniques, it uses HTML5 as a development stack and does not require direct DOM manipulation.

SQL (Structured Query Language) is a language designed for interacting with relational database management systems (RDBMS), like MySQL, Oracle, Sqlite etc… To perform the SQL queries in this article, I suggest that you have MySQL installed. I also recommend phpMyAdmin as a visual interface to MySQL.

The following applications make it very easy to install both MySQL and phpMyAdmin on your local machine:

• WAMP for Windows
• MAMP for Mac

We are going to use command line for queries. WAMP already comes with a MySQL Console. For MAMP, you may want to read this article.

If you would like to follow the examples in this article on your own development server, do the following:

1. Open MySQL Console and login.
2. If you haven’t already, create a database named “my_first_db” with a CREATE query.
3. Switch to the database with the USE statement.

When creating a database, common sense dictates that we use separate tables for different types of entities. Some examples are: customers, orders, items, messages etc… But we also need to have relationships between these tables. For instance, customers make orders, and orders contain items. These relationships need to be represented in the database. Also, when fetching data with SQL, we need to use certain types of JOIN queries to get what we need.

There are several types of database relationships. Today we are going to cover the following:

• One to One Relationships
• One to Many and Many to One Relationships
• Many to Many Relationships
• Self Referencing Relationships

When selecting data from multiple tables with relationships, we will be using the JOIN query. There are several types of JOIN’s, and we are going to learn about the the following:

• Cross Joins
• Natural Joins
• Inner Joins
• Left (Outer) Joins
• Right (Outer) Joins

We will also learn about the ON clause and the USING clause.

• Lets you extend any link on the page with a multi level pop up menu, by inserting the custom attribute data-popupmenu inside the link.
• Each pop up menu is simply defined as a regular, hidden nested UL on the page.
• Sub Menus repositions themselves when too close to the right or bottom edges of the browser window so they remain in view.
• Ability to customize the expand animation speed.
• Ability to specify the delay before each menu and its sub menus appear/ disappear when the mouse rolls over and out of them.

At one time or another, a software developer is faced with a potential troublesome issue. When all the programming is done, and it’s time to distribute the actual program, the question arises: How do I protect my intellectual property from being misused, changed and sold by a potential user of my program? Of course there are Copyrights, but not all users might be aware or care about it.

unencrypted code

Usually this is not a problem when using ordinary executable files. The customer would have a hard time opening up the file in Notepad, figuring out and modifying the code. This process is called reverse engineering, and for some people this is an art.

encrypted code

The problem is a bit trickier when programming in an open format such as ASP, PHP or any type of scripting. The program is easily readable and sometimes ingenious and potential lucrative algorithms could fall into the wrong hands. But there is a solution. This article is focused on how to protect your PHP scripts using obfuscation techniques that makes the program unreadable for humans – but still fully functional for a computer.

Here are two of the main Open Source PHP encryption tools:

Turck MMCache for PHP

Turck MMCache is an open source software package with many included features, such as PHP accelerator, optimizer, encoder and dynamic content cache. One drawback is that in order to use all these functions you need to have additional software installed on the running server. It is fully compatible with Zend Optimizer, but not recommended.

PHP Obfuscator (POBS)

This is the software package focused on in this arcicle. It does not need additional server PHP modules installed in order to run. It’s easy to install and easy to use. The main feature is the actual PHP encryption, with many configuration options. The PHP Obfuscator is available for download from their home page.
