Crisoft Ricette

Today I want to start a Logo Contest for Crisoft Ricette. As you may have noticed, this site is a default template of our blog system Wordpress and it’s not looking good. And there isn’t a logo in the wiki. I feel sorry for this and as a good project we should have a good logo. But I’m not a graphics designer and all my tries were a complete mess. But to give you a hint about what I want to achieve for Crisoft, here is a simple logo that I created by following a tutorial:

If you feel like helping me out of this situation, please write a comment. Thanks for you help!

Oh, and at the moment I try to figure my way through CakePHP, a nice framework for rapid application development. It really helps me with getting a feeling for a good application. I try to build a simple mockup of a web software supporting users, groups and a “web2.0″ feeling of editing, adding and deleting recipes.

Ok, there is a solution to the WYSIWYG editor in CVS now. I added a configuration option to turn it completly off. This is the best solution to incompability issues.

I’m very happy to see at least some contributions on the wiki. That really helps me going on with this project. Keep editing, guys!

It’s already late (well, too late to be awake), but I wanted to make some minor fixes and try to get a hack for tinyMCE going. I managed to add a snippet that disables the WYSIWYG editor on the insert recipe page, but only for the first textarea. The others aren’t working yet. But I guess I can fix this too.

Today I added some Screenshots to our wiki. As you may notice, there is some multi-language text in this screenshots. This is because I’m using the current development version and I’m still fiddling with the translation. The active style is called Slick and is just for demonstrating purposes. I hacked it from scratch in a quite minute to show the new theming ability of Crisoft Ricette.

Today I’m working on the installation scripts. I want them to follow the themeing - even if it’s only the default theme while installing - and I want them to work smoothly. Without warnings about “potentially dangerous passwords” if you use some special characters like I do.

There were some other issues with the installation and I want this problems to be removed before I release a new version. There was a silly error when the password was rejected and you were directed to the configuration form. Some values were resetted, some not. This was a major issue when I installed Crisoft Ricette the first time - I was so irritated that I was just a step before deleting everything.
