Upcoming Projects & Work…

Posted January 18, 2008 0 Comments

Well, as I get ready to head back home in the next few days hopefully, I’ve been looking over some things that will need to be done and trying to prioritize what I have left to do on a few projects, and how to tackle those when I get back to get back in the routine.

First, the most important item I have on the table is the completion of the Drupal project Poodle Breeder Source. It’s a great site, and almost ready to go, I just need to finalize the ecommerce installation again, and work on some of the copy for generic pages, along with touching up the admin panel that advertising/posting users will have the ability to access for usability purposes.

Second, I need to upgrade this site to the latest version of wordpress… should be easy money there.

Third, I need to complete the copy and such for the Himerus Inc. The layout is done, and except for a few issues in IE7 with the jQuery scrollbars,  it really just needs the appropriate information incorporated into the pages that have been created so far. This will be the first implementation of my own custom CMS that will greatly speed up putting out quality, easy to manage sites.

Fourth, It’ll be time to rework the Himpressive theme, and get that set up to work with Wordpress 2.3 and have it installed on the site. I’m really excited about that one, the way it’s going to be set up, It could definitely be a popular theme that gets used quite a bit, and will be my first release of a fully functional Wordpress theme. Included with that will be a few plugins that help some of the functionality that will be implied on the theme. There will be a very slick jQuery calendar that should be eaten up by the community even without using the theme.

So, putting it lightly, I have a lot of work to accomplish, and want to be able to get most of this lined out as quickly as possible once I get back home. Once I get in the swing of these projects, I will probably be able to start posting up some jQuery tutorials and different modifications to Drupal and Wordpress that I can’t live without.

Look for more to come soon!!

Current Project: CMDR Pro

Posted October 12, 2007 0 Comments

I’ve been battling for a few weeks now up to my ears in building a new CMS for both my personal use, for my own clients, and for an alternative option for my current 9-5 design shop.

I’ve finally got to the point where I’m about 80% complete with the core backend features. The CMS backend is completely powered by jQuery & PHP, with zero new page loads, which is my first real attempt at what has become the evolution of web applications.

I’m expecting to have most of the backend features completed in the next week or two, and then be able to finish integrating the theme engine (Smarty) on the front end along with features to tie into the backend.

This has really been taking my time as it’s been a project at work that required a custom backend, and also spending about all my spare time adding in features, and customizing the jQuery interaction which was outside the scope of the project for the client, and required my own personal time to give it that “extra touch”.

Since the himpressive theme was lost, and is only partially put back together so far in photoshop, it’s falling further and further to the back burner for the moment as I’m forced to finish this CMS, and then I will be doing a redesign of my corporate site for Denver Web Development and integrate it into cmdr pro.

I hope to have it wrapped up, and be back on the grid shortly. Patience is the key to success.
