Thursday Rant
Right. No more commenting on this website for the foreseeable future. I am being comment-spammed to fuckery, and unless I enable captchas, it will clearly continue. Even though the spamming is getting more and more inventive and I’m blacklisting all culprits, I owe it to my readers and those that subscribe to comment notifications to keep things clean. Comment spammers - you win. Well done. Now fuck off and go ruin someone else’s fun. I’m too busy for your shit. Read on for Quicktime footage of just how angry I am today, and more ranting…

Friday’s Expression Engine snippet
You are reading a guest author post from my friend and ex-colleague Simon Rudkin of Agenzia (email).
I’ll end this week with what I think is an utter gem. I’ve been banging on about how Expression Engine isn’t just a blogging tool, it’s a full-on content management / web publishing / whatever we’re supposed to call these things this week system. Problem is, it’s missing one key, critical feature - hierarchical pages. It’s certainly something you can fudge around, using nested categories for the structure, and one weblog entry per category for the pages. But this tends to get kind of awkward to explain to the people who are going to be using the system.
But now there’s a better way. It’s not a perfect way, but for me, it goes a long, long way towards plugging one of the few gaps in EE. Head over to the Aladdin’s Cave of Expression Engine pimping, download the Pages module, and pledge eternal gratitude to the author, Mark Huot. There’s plenty more information in the related forum thread.
And while you’re at it, try out the File extension too, which is pretty-much essential. In fact, probably best to just grab them all!

Where is this week going? Anyway, no time for such philosophical questions, it’s time to get dynamic with Expression Engine.

Sometimes I need one of Expression Engine’s features to work for me in a slightly different way, and that’s when I reach for the Query Module. In a nutshell, this module lets you get data from EE’s databases using standard SQL, then make that data available.

Monday’s Expression Engine snippet

During my tenure as guest author, I’ve not got around to talking about anything other then Expression Engine. So, to continue the trend, here’s a quick snippet of hopefully-useful code for Monday. There’ll be another snippet each day this week.
