Fortunately, Vim is widely available on all platforms, and can be used with Filezilla making the combination a pretty good mini-IDE. Filezilla is a great ftp program, free and available on all systems. It has bookmarks, either global or local for a site, and can synch browsing so it changes directories automatically on either remote or local system.</p> <p>What I am looking for is a good PHP debugger, preferably for linux. Eclipse has always seemed confusing for PHP, maybe because there are (were?) more than one way to add PHP. But it seemed that PHP was not well supported, so versions always seemed to be outdated, and it was too confusing trying to match the correct versions of the correct plugins, assuming I knew which plugins to use.</p> <p>Netbeans seems easier to use, and it used to work well for local debugging, but now I keep having problems, and have to restart it every time I run once or it loses its connection to xdebug. After a lot of work, I got remote debugging to work, sort of, but it seems to cause problems with the web server.</p> <p>Anyone have any suggestions for a PHP debugger? I mainly just need breakpoints, single stepping, and examining data, although being able to modify data would be nice. Also, it's can't be too expensive (free is nice). </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/useful-tools#post-21117 Sat, 07 May 2011 13:27:37 +0000 boden 21117@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>for image dev:</p> <p>* GIMP - General image creation (forget photoshop): <a href="http://www.gimp.org/" rel="nofollow">http://www.gimp.org/</a><br /> * Inkscape - vector img creation: <a href="http://inkscape.org/" rel="nofollow">http://inkscape.org/</a><br /> * cool stripes: <a href="http://www.stripegenerator.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.stripegenerator.com/</a><br /> * Ajax loading: <a href="http://www.ajaxload.info/" rel="nofollow">http://www.ajaxload.info/</a> </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/useful-tools#post-21116 Sat, 07 May 2011 13:11:17 +0000 boden 21116@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>i find eclipse php the way to go for dev of php (well for any code really). sure its a bit bulkier then just a lil editor, but imo its worth the weight.</p> <p>download it here: <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-php-developers/heliossr2" rel="nofollow">http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-php-developers/heliossr2</a></p> <p>ex on how to dev a plugin w/it: <a href="http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/library/os-eclipse-wordpress/index.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/library/os-eclipse-wordpress/index.html</a></p> <p>in my workspace i always add a project with the thematic src and also the wordpress source -- this allows eclipse to lookup functions from those respective sources.</p> <p>why i think its worth the bulk:<br /> * auto search/complete functions as you type including params and function docs<br /> * warns you of invalid html tag/structure<br /> * nice searching<br /> * you can do an F3 on a function call and it finds its definition in the source and brings you there<br /> * can setup a hot-key and automatically run php quickly<br /> * all the goodies you'd expect with a fully functional php based editor<br /> * allows me to dev my other code (perl, js, shell scripts, etc.) in the same place and test</p> <p>if you're serious about development, take a read at its features -- you may find it to be a time saver </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/useful-tools#post-20471 Tue, 12 Apr 2011 03:13:29 +0000 wowodirect 20471@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>While looking for <a href="http://www.wowodirect.com">cool and high quality electronic wholesale products online</a> at lower price,such as <a href="http://www.wowodirect.com/lcd-screen-video-glasses-c-97_187.html"><strong>Video glass</strong></a>,<a href="http://www.wowodirect.com/radio-control-robots-c-164_200.html"><strong>Radio control robots </strong></a>,<a href="http://www.wowodirect.com/mini-spy-c-93_141.html"><strong>Hidden camera </strong></a>and other amazing <a href="http://www.wowodirect.com/cool-gadgets-c-97.html"><strong>gadgets</strong></a><br /> directly from reliable wholesaler on<a href="http://www.wowodirect.com"> Wowodirect</a>, and enjoy worldwide free shipping services, no matter where exactly you are or whatever you buy, as long as you are our customers around the world. </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/useful-tools#post-20442 Mon, 11 Apr 2011 03:22:57 +0000 lastraw 20442@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>Chrome dev tools are useful.

If so it would be super easy to actually include those leaves in the header image with part of the sides from the background making 1 bigger image that contains everything.</p> <p>If that doesn't work, instead of adding the actual images, you could do it through span tags. If you were to do it like<br /> <code><br /> &lt;span class="left-leaf"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;<br /> </code><br /> and pull the image through the CSS,<br /> <code><br /> span.left-leaf { background: url(image/path.jpg); height: 100px; width: 100px; position: absolute; top:0; left:-20px; }<br /> </code><br /> That is just the basic idea to do it a few different ways. Although I would need to know how you have chopped up your template to provide you with more useful info. At worst you may have to add an extra div through the functions php. ;) </p>
