OpenInviter - Contact Grabbing Solution for PHP

We were looking for some good contact grabbing solution to implement on few of our projects. We did lots of analysis on paid, free ware and open source tool for this. Our need was very specific.

  • Stable
  • Priority : Open Source , Free Ware, Paid
  • Should cover almost all the possible Popular Email Provider and Social Networking Site.
  • Should have integrated Email sending feature for selected user.
  • Must be in PHP Language.
  • Easy to install, configure and customize.
  • Should have an upgrade option whenever there is any change on Contact Grabbing Logic.
  • Well documentation, nimble support and rich technical resources.

After doing good search on web and analyzing different contact grabbing, finally we decided to go with OpenInviter. We found it almost close to our needs. We have successfully setup and configured it on our development server. We have started to implement it on our projects.  OpenInviter has separate package/plug-in/module for other CMS and open sources. Which I haven’t tried yet. But looks like it should simple vanilla.

We at MULTIDOTS using SVN for all our projects. SVN helps us lot for code revision and work collaboration. As projects get increased it was required for us to find some easy GUI for Repository and User Access Managment tool. I had tried couple of them. But I am quite impressed with USVN. Finally I decided to go with that. Now its working all well and my job is done. Now I can easily manage my all the projects, repository access on those projects and repository. It saves my lots of time to create new project or repository in SVN.

Few Facts about USVN

  • Its Web Based GUI Programe for Repository Management.
  • Its powered by PHP/MySQL with Zend Framework.
  • Simple Setup.
  • Group Management.
  • User Management.
  • Repository Management.
  • Its not supporting any ways to manage hooks right now.

I am going to write few problems and issue I had to face while setuping up the USVN and my SVN Server in my next Post. If you are facing any issue with USVN setup or SVN setup you can share you problems here, I will try my best to answer them all.

Debug with firebug

If you are a web freak and working on javascript you must have faced these issues

- Output an object with all the properties.
- Debuging methods and variables.
- Debuging in Internet Explorer is a headache.
- And more….

Now I days I am hacking javascript for one of my project.
While was googeling for some script I come across with a wonderful utility provided by firebug. We can of course use firebug as an extension in mozilla firefox. But what about the Internet Explorer.

Please check this screen snap.

firebug-ie

Yes this is the firebug in internet explorer and most improtant thing is that I have debug one object. Firebug is showing me all the method and property values in console. Isn’t it amazing?

To use firebug in Internet Explorer you just need to do one simple thing that is include this script at <head> tag of your code and you are all done.

<script type='text/javascript'
src='http://getfirebug.com/releases/lite/1.2/
firebug-lite-compressed.js'></script>

To debug any object or variable without alert you can use this code

console.log("Your Message"+Variable/ObjectName);
