Free Module: Text/HTML Search and Replace Engage: F3
By Chris Hammond on 12/12/2007 12:19 AM
In April of this year I threw a little module together called Engage: F3 that allows site administrators and superusers to easily search for strings of content within their Text/HTML modules and Engage: Publish content on a site. Recently I've taken the time to come up with a new release of the module that provides Search and Replace functionality for the Text/HTML module.

OpenForce07 Update For Monday Evening
By Chris Hammond on 11/6/2007 1:05 AM

Well today was a fun day for the first day of OpenForce07. At noon we had a core team gathering over at the Luxor. It was an excellent time for everyone to socialize and meet face to face, many for the first time. I can't even begin to list off all the names of people I met for the first time today but it was a great event. Many thanks to Michael Washington for organizing it and Will M. from Activemodules.com for sponsoring it. The discussions we all got to have were great and I look forward to continuing many of them throughout the week!

I didn't take the camera with me so I had to snap a quick picture with my cell phone. This is a shot of Michael saying "respect the nuke!"

This evening there was a keynote and then vendor expo. There was plenty of goodies to be had. My favorite being ...

I'm personally excited to announce that the 4.4 release of Engage: Publish has been uploaded to our EngageModules.com website and is available for purchase. If you've previously purchased Engage: Publish and are within your one year window you can also download this release for free.

The biggest feature for 4.4 is the implementation of Caching within the module which should help to speed up sites that utilize Engage: Publish and minimize the number of database requests for each page load. You can find out more new features and bug fixes by checking out the

Engage: Publish, vNext update for 10/26/2007
By Chris Hammond on 10/26/2007 8:43 PM

So I had hoped to have the 4.3.7 release of Engage: Publish out last week, but towards the end of the week a few things came up in the code that we decided needed to be handled prior to a release. A few of the items were small bugs that had popped up in some new testing we were doing. One of the major things was performance issues that were starting to pop up.

As more and more people start using Engage: Publish we've started to see some performance items we'd like to implement within the code in order to speed up the sites that are using Publish. Beginning on Monday Brian Dukes and I started taking a good hard look at Caching within the module. As for Friday afternoon the code has been added into Publish that will allow an administrator to setup a default Cache time ...

Off to Tornado Country
By Chris Hammond on 10/18/2007 8:23 AM

If our blog gets really inactive after tomorrow it's because 9 of us are heading to Tornado Country (though we really are already in it).

We're off to Tulsa Tech Fest, leaving this afternoon and tonight. It looks like the Tornados have already moved through, though they've caused some damage to Oktoberfest according to this article on CNN.

If you're going to be in Tulsa, be sure to find some of us!
