Recess Community Updates

Posted Oct 6, 2009 by Kris | Comments ( 0 ) | Filed in: Community, PHP | | | | |

In the month since the new Recess Forums have launched the number of posts and interesting topics has been flourishing. Lots of great things are bubbling up:

PostgreSQL support is being developed on the database stack lead by Ryan Day. You can pull Ryan's postgres bits from Github here. Ryan has also put up two great, introductory tutorials on his blog. The first is on modifying the generated scaffolding code. The second is on beefing up date input fields. Awesome work.

Christiaan has been working on a Recess project that changes the Recess flow-of-control policy to achieve a more nested MVC approach. Check out his project alive.

Issue tracking has moved from lighthouse to Github to keep our source and bugs closer together.

Some other interesting threads from the forums:

• Custom Recess annotation development with examples
• API design discussion around complex boolean queries in the Recess ORM
• Ned Schwartz details the installation of PDO MySQL drivers on OSX Leopard
• Feature Request: Editing and Updating Models/Tables from Recess Tools
• and lots of other interesting threads...

If you haven't joined the forums or checked back in on them in a while, you should head that way.
