The first thing we need to do when starting to work with fuse ESB is set up our build environment. For this we’ll be using Eclipse, with the FUSE IDE plugin and maven. I’ll also cover downloading and installing Servicemix, and then generating our first FUSE project. I’ll be using a windows box for the […]
Today I’ve decided to move on from the magento stuff I’ve been posting recently, and start looking at working with FUSE ESB. This is an enterprise service bus based on apaches servicemix platform. There’s a lot of new stuff here, the majority of the code for servicemix is written in Java and plugged together using […]
As promised last week I’ve uploaded the IOS binary for jNag, so you can deploy it to a local device. I’ve no idea how you go about doing this, and no-one’s gifted me a free Macbook yet so I can’t test this in any way. Hopefully this helps out if you want to get jNag […]
One of the most glaring omissions of magento is a way of blocking users. Currently your only option when faced with a user you wish to ban from the site is to do some kind of IP blocking in your web server configuration, or delete the user account. Neither of those options is really useful, […]
I’ve had a request that I make the IOS version of jNag available so that people can deploy it using a local provisioning server. I’m still trying to find the last build I did before losing access to my Mac platform, but once I dig it out of my backups I’ll upload it here. You […]
I’ve just been notified that jNag for iPhone / iPad has been removed from the App store due to my apple developer subscription expiring. Since I no longer have access to a Mac development environment, I didn’t see the point of paying to renew my subscription. Since there’s no fees to pay to keep apps […]
This is more of a memo for me than a post for the rest of you, but might be useful if you want to create a bootable USB disk from a windows box (for an example, I used it to create a windows 8 installation drive) Information taken verbatim from this post on the […]
After a lot of rumours, and some imaginative concept art Google finally announced the latest idea from the Google-X labs yesterday: Google Glasses. Touted as ‘terminator glasses’ as a callback to the onscreen display seen in the Terminator films (why terminator? Robocop would be a much better example of this) these glasses are the first […]
Update: I’ve fixed a couple of issues with the code in this post, based on the comments in this post on the magento forums. One of the nice features of Magento is the extensive SOAP api it provides for integrating magento with your own or third party applications. However, when it comes to extending that API […]
Just a quick and dirty (no, not that kind of dirty) tutorial today. One of the websites I work on had the requirement to make its prices look ‘nicer’ when converted to another currency. Currently (little currency pun for you there) the prices look fine in the default currency, which is good old pound sterling […]
