Code

Below are some resources that have been useful in projects that I work on.  I have made them portable, packaged them, and made them available below:

COinS Plugin for CWIS (download ZIP)

This is a plugin for the CWIS Online Digital Collection Management software that adds COinS meta-data to records so that users can import records into software like Zotero or Mendeley Desktop.

The latest release is 1.0, and I published it here on March 8, 2010.

User Tracking for CodeIgniter

User Tracking for CodeIgniter is a library/add-on package for the popular open-source PHP framework, CodeIgniter.

Just like Google Analytics or Piwik, this plugin allows you to quickly and easily track users’ activity on your website.  Unlike other solutions, this library will output data directly to your database and allow you to define criteria for whento track and when to track and when not to track pageviews.

CI Headstart for CodeIgniter

This project includes an up-to-date copy of CodeIgniter with Jquery, Blueprint CSS, and a whole bunch of home-cooked helpers and libraries to skip a lot of setup/prep-work that I constantly find myself for repeating every project that I begin.

This is particularly useful for projects that are developed in a distributed environment using SVN.

Note: I haven’t gotten around to fully documenting this yet, but I’m working hard on it.

GeSHi for CodeIgniter

GeSHi for CodeIgniter is a library/add-on package for the popular open-source PHP framework, CodeIgniter.

This plugin/hook provides the ability to easily include sourecode in our CodeIgniter website using the popular GeSHi syntax highlighter.  After installing this library, you will be able to highlight code by wrapping it in <sourcecode>…</sourcecode> tags inside your HTML.
