With the recent release of mootools version 1.2, I have updated the Accordion Menu as well as the Nested Accordion Menu tutorials. I have also encountered a pretty big bug in the Nested Accordion Menu when working on a client project, and I have modified the tutorial to include the fix.
Take care!

I know I have written about it before, but new projects bring me new love for why I am still in love with Smarty.
Smarty, a PHP based templating system, is the greatest development tool I have encountered to date. All the recent projects I have been working on, I have migrated them over to Smarty based templates. This helps me to do a few things…
It really makes my job more efficient, I can make huge back-end functionality optimizations and changes, upload the said changes to the live site, and still get the same results without having to touch the templates! On top of that, my clients love it. I have a few that are savvy enough to change HTML and CSS, but when they see dreaded <?php tags throughout their HTML, they hate it. So using this software helps me reach another goal, and that is portability.
I am so pleased with the functionality in fact; I am changing all my websites to rely on the Smarty Template system, where possible of course!
P.S. I made it back home from my trip last weekend, and early as well. Cindy and I had a great time, and I should be getting my pictures up soon. I will be going on another short trip March 2nd through March 4th, to Las Vegas with my brother, Mychael, and two aunts, Ann & Nette, to celebrate Nette’s award celebration for South-West Manager or Employee of the year at Macy’s. (When I find out what exactly it is, I will correct the post.)

Business has been decent the past month, although in the last week, it has slowed down, but I have kept myself busy with projects I have been meaning to finish. Namely, the project I have wanted to finish but never had enough time to do so is phpZIPdir. I am certain there are quite a few interested parties as I have gotten emails from users who are anxiously waiting to use the software.
I have taken phpZIPdir from a sort of proprietary script that I wrote originally for myself and it will be easily installable on most any system. A little more about phpZIPdir, it is much more than just a simple radial search. I am building a full-fledged system, with user logins, the ability to control quantity of listings per user, eventually a built in billing and reporting system and much more on top of that.
At the same time, I am building my own open-ended licensing server for phpZIPdir and future products, which may use the same system. I have a lot to finish up but I will start working on all of it now instead of writing!
Until next time!

As a promised, but long delayed follow up to my MooTools Accordion Menu tutorial, I have officially written my next tutorial on getting a nested MooTools Accordion up and running. You can view the MooTools Nested Accordion Menu if you are interested, as I am sure there are a few people who are since I can see my website was getting many hits for the exact keyword.
So check it out, leave me a comment if you find it useful. Thank you and have a great day!
