It's fairly obvious where the term Style Sheets may come from since CSS is essentially a tool for styling the content on a website. It's general purpose is to take the images, text and other stuff on a page and style them such that it looks nice and works well in terms of navigation and flow.

But why did they add 'cascading' to the title? Once you learn why, and get used to it, you'll be very very glad they did!

I spent many hours searching and asking in chat rooms and Cakephp's site and just banging my head against the desk on this one...  how in the world do you limit a pagination queries results to x number per page and y number in total??

I wanted to display the top 1000 results out of 1850 or so that I had in the database and show 20 per page.

It seems like a pretty simple problem on the surface but if you try it, you'll see how frustrating it can be. As I said, no one had an answer!!

It wasn't until I stopped, sat down and had some lunch that it dawned on me... the simple problem, had a simple solution!

Lately I've been needing to create queries using the "HAVING" expression so that I could find pictures that have received 5 or more votes towards their rating... there are various ways to do that but I really needed to have it use the "HAVING" expression, so I hit the information super highway in search of CakePHP articles and not surprisingly, there were not very many off ramps.

I have a working solution now but it's sort of a hack/fix since CakePHP apparently feels that it's not an expression worth including into their vast number of array options. Here's how I did it:

 
Firefox 3.6 compatible version of FfvB released! PDF Print E-mail

The new Firefox 3.6 is availble now for download but FfvB has not been compatible with it, until now... unfortunately, not all of the changes and rewrites have been completed yet so it is not working at 100% with this latest release.

For example, ignoring a thread/user does not make it disappear instantly, a page reload is required. These are minor yet annoying bugs that I plan on having fixed and perfected in the very near future.

Visit http://www.twitter.com/ffvb for up to date development progress and updates.

Quite often I find articles that I don't really need, but I know that I will need at some point in the future so I add them as a bookmark. So now I've decided to begin adding them to this article... an ever growing list of links and information that I (and hopefully you) will find usefull not and in the future.
