Plesk 10.1.1 release adds ColdFusion 9 support

Posted By : Shaun McCran
Related Categories: Coldfusion
It seems as though the newest version of the server management software 'Plesk' v 10.1.1 is now officially ColdFusion 9 compatible.

Previously Plesk could only integrate with ColdFusion 8 as it caused instability issues with ColdFusion 9.

There isn't much about this in the release notes, just a simple statement.

view plain print about
1ColdFusion 9 support. A new version of the popular site developing tool is available.

The full release notes article is here: http://download1.parallels.com/Plesk/PP10/10.1.1/release-notes/parallels-plesk-panel-10.1.1-for-windows-based-os.html

I'm hoping it works well as I've just commissioned a new server running both these software versions.

JQuery Drag and Drop to multiple div elements

Posted By : Shaun McCran

My only previous experience with Drag and Drop web development was with Flex 2, which I have to say was a bit of a nightmare. There was an astronomical amount of setup to do in terms of event listeners and mouse watching services, so I was reluctant to get back into 'Drag and Drop' with any other technology.

This article explains how straight forward the JQuery Drag and Drop interfaces are to use, and how I constructed a Drag and Drop example using multiple divs.

There is an example of a JQuery Drag and Drop demo here. http://www.mccran.co.uk/examples/jquery-drag-drop

Book review: CMS Design Using PHP and JQuery

Posted By : Shaun McCran

I was recently approached by Packt Publishing to review one of their new books, CMS Design using PHP and JQuery. They mentioned that I'm always talking about JQuery so thought I'd be an ideal test subject.

I've dabbled in some PHP, and JQuery is an everyday tool in my arsenal so I was more than happy to give it a read.
