I've released a minor update to Pixaria Gallery which fixes a couple of issues in the previous edition and improves the workflow for the shopping cart. It's not an important update so if you've only just installed a previous version, I wouldn't panic about getting this one
More details of the changes can be found in the file change log and release notes but here's the important stuff:
Any Pixaria users thinking about their web hosting options might like to check out HostPost, a new web hosting service created by a fellow Pixaria user and photographer*. Eschewing the common limitations of bandwidth and storage space, HostPost offers pretty much unlimited everything from databases to mailboxes and disk space to sub-domains.
While a few companies offer unlimited space I offer everything within the package with absolutely no limits. Bandwidth, space, databases, sub domains, mailboxes - all unlimited. I call this package 'Totally Unlimited'.
'Totally Unlimited Plus'. This offers all the unrestricted benefits of the above only this is 'MULTI DOMAIN HOSTING'. This means unlimited true domains within the same package all the same great unlimited features.
HostPost packages start at:
As a Pixaria user, you can get a massive 40% off your first year by quoting the promotional code Pixaria09 when prompted to do so in the shopping cart.

*This is not an endorsement as I have not used this service. I've posted this because it may be of interest to current and future Pixaria users.
PermalinkThe latest and greatest Pixaria Gallery, version 2.6.2, is now available and is a recommended update for all registered users. This release is primarily a bug fix release but includes a couple of notable improvements to back end image editing, a new Spanish localisation and a new bundled version of Smarty which offers various important security improvements.
Version 2.6.2 also finalises some significant changes to how original, high-res image files are referenced by the front end so make sure that you consult the release notes to see if this change will affect you.
Full details of all the changes and bugs fixed are in the release notes and file change log. To get the update, simply drop me an e-mail and I will send it over.
PermalinkI've recently been asked to count the number of lines of code in a project at work and assumed that this would be easy to do. It turns out that it isn't as as simple as you might think because the Unix word count command 'wc' doesn't allow for counting lines in files in subdirectories.
Fortunately, thanks to a few nifty Unix commands and some helpful hints on the web, I was able to get the answer to the problem which is the following command:
for file in `find . -name \*.php -type f`; do cat $file; done | wc -l
In this example, I'm using *.php to recursively count the number of lines in PHP files but the same approach will work on other file types too such as HTML or JavaScript.
Armed with this command, I was able to establish that my project has 67,000 lines of PHP which seemed like a lot until I did the same on Pixaria and found it 116,000 lines of code..!
