The library has been released under dual AGPL and commercial licenses in order to allow everyone to be able to try it out and use in their own projects.

Here are some cool features of the library:

• Supports IE6+, Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Opera
• Easy to include and initialize in any web project (a single JS file with no dependencies!)
• Provides namespace support on any HTML page regardless of content type
• Follows XPath standards rigorously
• Easily extensible

Read more about XPathJS on our site or check it out on GitHub.

Here are some of the benefits you get right out of the box:

• Just drop files into the MantisBT plugins folder and activate plugin – no hacking required!
• Extends the built-in time tracking provided by MantisBT, and thus you will not be losing any previous time tracking data.
• Increase/decrease tracked time without affecting the original time that was tracked. This allows you to easily track the actual time, but then adjust it to a higher or lower time depending on your billing needs.
• Mark a bug note as reviewed.
• Mark tracked time as billable and/or billed.
• Finely tune permissions for each time tracking and billable field. (time, time adjustment, reviewed, billable, billed, etc.)
• Generate custom HTML and Excel reports using a wide array of filters. (e.g. report only billable times in the last month)

WordPress Magazine Manager Plugin is a web-based magazine solution. Here are some of the benefits right out of the box:

• Easily add/manage new issues
• Add as many articles as you wish and associate them with specific issues
• Group articles into rubrics
• Launch an issue only when you are fully satisfied with the content
• Search-engine optimized URL and content
• Quickly display widgets that link to the latest issue
• Easily Link to the latest issue in the menu
• Plugin can be modified or extended easily, since you will have access to the source code
• Get all the advantages of WordPress when installing the plugin

We will try to release new products more frequently as they would be more affordable to webmasters who aren’t looking for a custom built solution.

We were in charge of completing a few core functionalities focused on the billing and transaction processing, as well as backend administration:

• Implemented calls to PayPal’s Express Checkout and Web Payments Pro APIs (using PayPal SDK SOAP API)
• Automatically generating and sending out biweekly invoices
• User, auction, and billing administration
• Custom RSS feed generation (using Zend_Feed)

The site was built using CodeIgniter and while this framework may have been quite a hit when it came out a couple of years back, it really has not progressed much over the years, and as such, lacks some of the more robust ORM, forms, and templating functionality found in other, more mature frameworks such as Symfony or Zend. It’s main advantage (and why it was chosen) is that it is easy to learn and as such allowed all parties involved in the project to quickly pick it up and start developing.

Ljudi Govore is a printed literary magazine, well respected amongst Serbian literary critics. It was first published in 2008, and has since been releasing new issues quarterly. Readers of the magazine have been asking for a digital version of the content, and as such, we have been asked to create and deliver it to them.

The site was built using WP, but it extends it in a way that is quite unique. We essentially developed a plug-in, that allows the content managers to add new issues to the website. Each issue consists of articles and rubrics linked directly to that issue. Users can then browse the content by issue or rubric and navigate directly to the articles. The URLs have been made search-engine friendly beyond what is built into WP, and the articles all get published simultaneously once the corresponding magazine issue is published.

We plan on packaging the Issue Manager WordPress Plugin in the near future and make it available for a small price. There are a lot of small magazine and newspaper shops that could benefit from this kind of a plug, and it would prevent developers from building the same functionality over and over again from scratch.

After receiving the web design, we proceeded to apply it as a WordPress theme:

• AFE’s blog section was revamped completely, to look more dynamic and behave more like an actual blog
• Comments were enabled, along with other social media links
• The homepage received a javascript carousel component that showcases AFE’s magnificent woodcarving designs
• AFE contest component was added that allows AFE fans to compete for a cash prize

Overall, this was a straight-forward WordPress project, but we thought it would be worth sharing such a simple, yet pleasing design.

Today we have officially launched the Fast Food Menu Manager application that runs on top of the Symfony framework and uses PHP’s built-in SOAP client functionality to communicate with Scala’s Content Manager. Our client can now manage what menus will appear on what screens, what the pricing will be, and which images will be used.

Since the application runs on the client’s internal network, we are unable to allow direct access to the application for everyone to see, but we can provide more screenshots upon request.

This was the first time we used WordPress 3.0 (which came out recently), and it worked like a charm! Menus and sidebars are now easier to create and manage than ever before.

In retrospect, WordPress seems to be making great strides to make itself more user-friendly and flexible, for both, end-users and developers. Joomla on the other hand seems to have grown quite complacent in this respect. We will be recommending WordPress to all of our future clients as the development time and maintenance of a site built using WordPress seems much lower than of a comparable site built using Joomla.

The site was already built using WordPress, so we took the design given to us by Cordon Media Inc., and turned it into a new theme. The front page now stands out from the rest of the site with a different color scheme and the contact form added right below the project overview.

It was a pleasure working with Cordon Media Inc. as always thanks to their professionalism and very talented designers.

There were a couple of updates and modifications that the client wanted performed on the site, and we met those with a quick turnaround time.

The first step was to rebrand the site which was originally called Concero Wellness Arts. Since it was built using WordPress, it was easy to create a new theme by copying the original Concero theme and then tweaking it. A lot of the posts and dynamic content had references to Concero, so a database script was created to replace all references to “Concero” with references to “Taylor”. After updating all references, the site was moved to a new domain name.

The next step was to find a suitable booking system which would integrate nicely with WordPress. Among a few candidates (RezClick, WebReserv, etc.) we decided to go with MindBody, since it provided a lot of flexibility in setting up class schedules and offered an online credit card processing solution. With the use of the WP eStore plugin the virtual classes were listed on Taylor Wellness Arts website, and linked to the MindBody to allow the customer to book specific times.

The final step was to integrate a real-time video solution which would allow the instructor to run a 1-on-1 virtual session. TinyChat was chosen as the best tool for this since it provides a free real-time video client which and uses Flash inside the browser to display the live video feed. Before the lesson starts, the link to the chat/video room is set to the instructor and the student, and the session can start as soon as both parties join.
