ExtJS actually has an exception policy for Ext extensions which allows you to use other open source licenses beside GPL:

1. I have to turn the volume off when I go on your site

Also, professional websites should always have alot of white in them as a standard design rule, although rules are made to be broken

Comment on Why I Hate Dreamweaver by Bryan

Bryan — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 01:01:36 +0000

I don’t know code that well but I hate dreamweaver (notice I don’t capitalize that godforsaken name) bc its not intuitive at all!!!! And yet its Adobe, well not really, its Macromedia. Photoshop and Illustrator are beautiful bc if you play around with it you can figure out how things work. I figured out most things before taking classes with them and now I use both regularly for my artwork with no problems. nightmareweaver on the other hand is the least intuitive piece of shit I have ever used in my life and I will NEVER again waste my money on another OVERPRICED piece of crap like that. I’m just gonna give my psd’s to coder’s who wanna make some money. They can handle it, I’m not… I’m right brained aka I HAVE NO DESIRE TO DEAL WITH COLD, UNINSPIRED, INORGANIC, CONVOLUTED COMPUTER LANGUAGE. FUUUUUUUCCCCCKKKKK TTTTTTHAAAAAATTTTTTTT. I hope the developers rot in hell and I will bathe in the blood of their children :3 Have a nice day oh and anyone who doesn’t like my comments can DIIIIIEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!

Comment on WordPress Automatic Upgrades on GoDaddy by Steve

Nice work. I actually figured this out on my own but so glad to find the solution confirmed on your blog. Scowering the Wordpress site for support I saw a lot of people with this problem but I think the majority of folks are on Linux and the folks using Windows IIS have no idea that’s what they’re using. The Wordpress warning messages will give an indication through the absolute path. A Windows setup will reveal a path that starts with “D:\” (which is not referring to your local PC drive as some may be lead to think!). I’ve submitted a comment on Wordpress leading to your solution. hope you don’t mind. Cheers!

I loved, loved, loved GoLive and I tried to switch to Dreamweaver on this site–working one year on it now. I hate, hate, hate it. It never does what it says. It looks good in the program and then when you upload it–IT’S NOT THE SAME!! The CSS for the spry menu is complicated, yet the code seems simple enough. I am an artist–not a cody I am about to give up totally on web design after this painful experience of gastrointestinal cancer.

Comment on ExtJS 3.0 Themes by Arthur Kay

Steffen,

Yes, that is a good idea. I’ve done that in my own applications but I failed to mention it here – so thanks for pointing it out!

I’m going to take a read through your post. Thanks for sharing!

Comment on ExtJS 3.0 Themes by Steffen

Hi Arthur,

just stumbled upon your blog post through a comment on my blog post: http://www.extjswithrails.com/2010/02/theming-extwindow-in-10-minutes.html

Great to see another blog post of another theming experience!

One thing I noticed is that I wouldn’t suggest to put your custom theme files within your Ext JS vendor folder in order to allow easier upgrading of your Ext JS version, which is usually done by just replacing the Ext JS folder.

Cheers,
Steffen

Comment on JSON formatting in PHP by Arthur Kay

Arthur Kay — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 17:19:59 +0000

Bruce,

That’s not a bad shortcut (it outputs the correct JSON string), but I don’t think I would recommend using that.

It isn’t good practice to hardcode anything, and it makes more sense to allow the server-side language (in this case PHP) to do the formatting for you. That way, we could potentially pass our array into other methods or classes as a fully intact entity.

Comment on Ext.data.JsonStore by Arthur Kay

Hey Luis, It doesn't look like your JSON (returned from the server) has a root element. It should look something like: { "data": [ {"mat":"1","mat_nombre":"REDES","mat_ciclo":"9"} ] } Give that a shot and let me know if you still need help. You should also try posting in the ExtJS forums... you're more likely to get a fast response!
