Salix.gr

Using embedRelation in non English projects has an issue with texts. EmbedRelation method has a parameter 'title', this is used as label but also as a variable. 'empty_label' is also a label and a variable/function name. So both of the cant have spaces and dont make nice variable/function names if they have greek or other characters.

Symfony Forms - Date input with greek format date (day-month-year) with sfExtraFormPlugin with default date the current.

$dateWidget = new sfWidgetFormI18nDate(array(
'format' => '%day%/%month%/%year%',
'month_format' => 'number',
'culture' => 'el',
'can_be_empty' => false));

$this->setWidget('proposal_date', new sfWidgetFormJQueryDate(array(
'image' => sfContext::getInstance()->getRequest()->getRelativeUrlRoot(). '/images/silk/calendar_view_month.png',
'culture' => 'el',
'date_widget' => $dateWidget
)) );

$this->setDefault('proposal_date', date('Y-m-d'));

Couldnt ignore this!

A sunny sunday by the seaside. The new car (Fiat Scudo Panorama LWB 2.0 120PS) arrived after 5 long months and we finaly can take and our baby along. Yes we have four kids and three of them are in diapers and still wake up for milk in the night....
No, it is not usual in Greece to have more than 2 kids. No, thats usual to the middle east and more east.

Hope you all now understand why I cant take care of salix.gr properly...

Today i realized that i am programming for maybe 20 years or more (still have gw-basic printouts) and i started thinking the machines i owned and special ones i worked on.

I found a photo of my first ever computer, but cant remember when i got it.

After heavy googling I found a greek stemmer which is the product of the Master Thesis of Georgios Ntais at Royal Institute of Technology [KTH] (Stockholm, Sweden) supervised by assoc. professor Hercules Dalianis. The stemmer is implemented in javascript and you can find it online here.

Let me introduce you to my usual debuging method for Linked Select boxes class.
