Well, it's just like a busy schedule to get in the way of fun stuff. I guess we can't really complain - since this means that we're at least doing something right.
We've got some exciting projects and we're working full tilt (maybe even more so).
We'll be back when we get things under control. In the mean time, check out the existing "The Developers" series to catch up if you haven't already :)

The New Guy
Hi,
I would just like to take the opportunity to quickly introduce myself as the new Dev Products team member, my name is Phil and I have very recently come on board to aid with product development and a few other areas, but that I will allude to in a later post so please stay tuned!
The team have been of huge support in making me feel welcome. Starting somewhere new can be a daunting experience no matter how many times you've done it before but the team at DevProducts have really done a great job in making me feel welcome.
With more than a few years of relevant industry experience to bring on board and the exciting developments taking place quite soon at DevProducts, I honestly can't wait to start sharing some new and exciting things we have coming up in the following weeks.
Kind regards,
Phil

Persistent Column Widths in Dojo (dojox) DataGrids
Hi everyone, my name is RV David and it's my first time posting on the "DevProducts on Blogger" blog. Hopefully the following will help some of the developers who are scouring the dojo forums/the internet for a solution to achieving persistent column or field widths in the Dojox DataGrid component of the Dojo toolkit.
The DojoX DataGrid Component
The Dojox DataGrid component is simply amazing! It provides a neat and relatively painless way to produce datagrids and is brilliant in the way it handles pagination. It does, however, come with it's limitations.
The RIA
We have recently developed a RIA (Rich Internet Application) for one of our clients which makes full use of the DataGrid component. At any time, we would have a variable number of datagrids displayed on a page in separate Tab Containers for presentation.
We have configured the datagrids so that field widths are adjustable by users. However, once the user either refereshes the page, or navigates to another page, the datagrid is displayed with the default column widths and the users will again have to adjust the field widths to their preference.
Remember DataGrid Column/Field Widths
A request was made for the functionality to "remember" the width of the datagrid columns even after a user navigates to a different part of the application.
The main issue we had is that we could not find a way to (easily) detect that the field width is being resized - there were no onresize event hooks for columns or cells - please correct me if I'm wrong.
The Solution/Workaround
After some reasearch and development, we have come up with the following solution (more like a workaround really) to store field or column widths:
Step 1: Store the Column widths in Cookies
We create a function to traverse through all datagrids and use a naming convention to store field widths in cookies.
function rememberWidths() {
var grids = dijit.registry.byClass('dojox.grid.DataGrid');
grids.forEach(function(grid) {
for (var k in grid.layout.cells) {
var index = grid.layout.cells[k].index;
var field = grid.layout.cells[k].field;
if (field != null && field != "") {
var cookieName = grid.id + field;
dojo.cookie(cookieName, grid.layout.cells[k].unitWidth, {expires:3600});
}
}
});
}
Step 2: Call the function on window.unload.
Add the function to the window object's "onUnload" event so that when the user leaves the page, all field widths are stored in cookies.
dojo.addOnUnload(window, 'rememberWidths');
Alternatively, we could have achieved the same result in one step:
dojo.addOnUnload(window, function() {
var grids = dijit.registry.byClass('dojox.grid.DataGrid');
grids.forEach(function(grid) {
for (var k in grid.layout.cells) {
var index = grid.layout.cells[k].index;
var field = grid.layout.cells[k].field;
if (field != null && field != "") {
var cookieName = grid.id + field;
dojo.cookie(cookieName, grid.layout.cells[k].unitWidth, {expires:3600});
//console.log(cookieName);
}
}
});
Step 3: At this stage, we should now have the widths stored as cookies and can be referenced by the concatenation of the grid id and the field name. For example, we have a "users" datagrid so to retrieve the column width of the id field in the "users" datagrid, we'd call it by using dojo.cookie('usersid');
That's pretty much the concept, although, I must stress that this is a workaround. I kind of feel strange about hooking into the window's onunload event, but hey, this is how we got around it. If you have better solutions, please, share it with us and leave a comment.

Operation Aborted on IE8
We've had a report from of one of our community members, who was intending to post a comment on one of our posts, that he is getting an "Operation Aborted" error on IE8!
We were able to reproduce this and the issue and after some research, tracked it down to the "Comment form".
We had previously selected for the comment form to appear underneath the post (as with most regular blogging systems) - after changing it to "full page" so that people will now have to click on a link and then add their comment.
This is a temporary measure and we will reimplement the embedded comment form once Blogger has this issue resolved.
Our team has actually come across a similar issue to this and it came down to the modification of the DOM prior to the page being loaded. Perhaps this is the same issue? Only time will tell.
We apologise to the users who have been inconvenienced by this issue and encourage blogger devs to please fix this issue as fast as they can.
In the mean time, you can post your comments by clicking on the "post a comment" link below the post in place of the previously embedded comment form.

Sitemap XML for Blogger Issues
Since the order was given to drive the "DevProducts on Blogger" project, we've added devproducts.blogspot.com to our list of sites to manage in Google's webmaster tools.
So we added devproducts.blogspot.com and added a sitemap http://devproducts.blogspot.com/atom.xml which is also our atom feed syndication address.
The Problem
This was fine for a while, but since signing up to feedburner and redirecting all feed traffic to use the feedburner address which is http://feeds2.feedburner.com/devproducts, Google was presenting us with some warnings:
The Solution
A quick Google search presented us with the solution on labnol.org's Digital Inspiration blog.
To fix this issue we had to do the following steps:
Of course if you were looking for a solution to add your a sitemap to webmaster tools for your blogger blog, then you just add: http://[your blog name].blogspot.com/atom.xml?redirect=false
Thanks Amit ;)
A big thank you to Amit from Digital Inspiration for posting this info in 2007. Say hello to little "google" for us :)
So we added devproducts.blogspot.com and added a sitemap http://devproducts.blogspot.com/atom.xml which is also our atom feed syndication address.
The Problem
This was fine for a while, but since signing up to feedburner and redirecting all feed traffic to use the feedburner address which is http://feeds2.feedburner.com/devproducts, Google was presenting us with some warnings:
Line: 2 Invalid XML: too many tags - Too many tags describing this tag.This is due to Google's sitemap processor being redirected to the feedburner address rather than the actual atom XML document.
Line: 2 Incorrect namespace - Your Sitemap or Sitemap index file doesn't properly declare the namespace.
The Solution
A quick Google search presented us with the solution on labnol.org's Digital Inspiration blog.
To fix this issue we had to do the following steps:
Step 1: Delete the existing Sitemap - which is in our case http://devproducts.blogspot.com/atom.xmlLooking to add a sitemap for your blogger blog to Google Webmaster Tools?
Step 2: Add a new sitemap post-fixed with ?redirect=false - so again, in our case it was http://devproducts.blogspot.com/atom.xml?redirect=false
Of course if you were looking for a solution to add your a sitemap to webmaster tools for your blogger blog, then you just add: http://[your blog name].blogspot.com/atom.xml?redirect=false
Thanks Amit ;)

Client Aid: Microsoft Outlook displays PDF as garbled text
Well, this little not-so-reproducable pickle was tricky to figure out! One of our Web Design clients, for whom we had created a newsletter broadcast application, reported that when they send themselves a preview, clicking on the http links to PDF files were replacing the entire email message with "garbled text".
During the brief conference call, our team were noting things such as:
First up was to send ourselves a preview email and retrieve the email using the Mozilla Thunderbird E-Mail Client.
It worked for us! Clicking on the PDF link in Thunderbird showed no problems. We called the client and asked them to do the same - the behaviour was confirmed. It was working on the Mozilla Thunderbird E-Mail Client, but not the client's primary e-mail client which was Microsoft Outlook 2003.
We did some further analysis and concluded that MS Outlook 2003 was actually trying to load the pdf http link sent in a HTML e-mail as a regular HTML page. This explains why clicking on the http links to PDF files displays "garbled text".
Although not so W3C compliant, the only solution to this was to add a "target" attribute to the pdf link to force it to open in a new window.
At the end, our client was happily chuckling "why didn't we think of that" when we told them what the problem actually was and how to fix it. A simple solution to a very strange problem, but most of the work we had done was to actually pin-point where and how this behaviour was occuring.
This solution of course came free of charge - we know how to look after our clients and will do favours such as these, whenever possible, as required.
During the brief conference call, our team were noting things such as:
- "corrupt pdf" (could be)
- "problems with the way the PDF was being uploaded" (possibly)
- that "somehow the header was being stripped during upload
(far fetched). - "gzip compression" (nope, couldn't be it)
- caching? (nope, not that either)

Today is officially Achilles Release Day!
Well, it's been an extremely busy week for our development team here at DevProducts and it all comes down to today, which we have officially dubbed "Achilles Release Day".
Know your Project Names - don't know what the Achilles project is?
Well, the way it works around here at DevProducts is that all projects are assigned a project name. For our client Seniors Discounts, we assigned the project name of "Achilles".
Other project names of course, came after such as Apollo, Athena, Atlanta, Atlas, Balios, Bellerophon, Bendis, Bia - look the list goes on, and when we reach project "Zeus", trust us, we _will_ let you know about it! ;)
Achilles:44
We have two major sub-projects to release for project Achilles today - Achilles:44 and Achilles:48. The main requirements for the Achilles:44 sub-project is to give the client the ability to incorporate discount listings their site's content through the WYSIWYG interface.
The configured content then needed to be rendered for display to the thousands of users that view the Seniors Discounts website daily.
Achilles:48
Achilles:48 was all about syndication. Creating atom and RSS feed formats for the native discount listings component we had developed for the main Achilles release.
As icing on the cake, our talented design team crafted a beautiful widget which consolidates access to discounts, articles and quick find feeds as well as a link to the Seniors Discounts Twitter page.
We managed this project through the use of the use of our project tracking system - currently dubbed as the "DevProducts projects sub-site" (uber cool name pending), but this is a subject for another post.
All in all, Achilles release day was an success. Seniors Discounts now has two brilliant tools to help them syndicate their content and promote their listings and although we do this time and time again - we, the DevProducts team look on proudly at the projects we have released.
Congratulations to the development team. Yet another quality DevProducts release.

Client Aid: MySQL Migration Character Issues
"Ahh the joys of having an experienced Web Development team backing you up" - We're sure that this is what one of our Web & Graphic Design Studio clients would have been thinking when we provided them with help to resolve an issue they were having with "strange and funny characters" appearing after a database migration.
"After hours of trying to figure out how to fix the problem on our own without success, we decided it was time to ask for some help. The problem was resolved in a matter of minutes by the knowledgable Web Development team at DevProducts. As always." stated the client contact in a phone interview.You can view the details of the problem and solution on RV David's blog: MySQL Funny/Strange Characters replacing apostrophes after import.
"This is just another day at the office for us. It's easy when you know how" commented RV David when asked about the help DevProducts had provided.

We now offer business websites!
In an effort to extend the range of services curently offered at DevProducts, we would like to prooudly announce that we now offer a Business Websites package. This is nothing new, but it is different to most of the "Business Website" packages currently out on offer.
And Just exactly _HOW_ does this Business Website package differ to most?
Well, with a DevProducts "Business Website" Package, you get a unique design by "one of the best" web design teams in the business (accolades pending ;) ) crafted to fit consistently with your corporate identity, solid and pedantically tested CMS installation configured with best of breed components that work, website hosting, email and support from the knowledgable experts in our Web Development team.

"I, myself, am very excited about this new package we are offering to our clients. The 'Business Website' package is as close as we'll ever dare to get to a turn key solution [...]" explained Ronald Villar David as he pitched the DevProducts brand of "Business website" package to our clients in the Service Provider's business sector.To sum it all up, the entire team at DevProducts share the same level of excitement as RV David. Log on to our website and contact us at http://www.devproducts.com/ to find out more about the "Business Websites" package.
"[...] I don't believe in those products or packages as they are conceptualised with the same concept as 'Starter Caps' - the 'One size fits all, all you need to do is adjust a couple of notches' type mentality [...]" Speaking about "turn-key" type sites with the "easy 123" brand of package.
" [...] Why go this route when we can take it further? We can tightly mould the solution around our client's requirements - and this is possible as we've proven with Seniors Discounts and Bluerim Australia websites - these are two different websites with totally unrelated requirements - we start off with the same base, but develop custom components and add-ons rather than shoe horning clients requirements into rigid one-size-fits all solution. I can honestly say that this is what sets us apart from the others and working transparently with you, your clients will see the same [...]".

The DevProducts Website
In the spare time that our Web Development team gets, they try to work on our own website which is pretty much complete, but lead developer and DevProducts boss Ronald Villar David (RV) is still pedantically going through the site with a fine tooth comb.
When asked about the progress of the site, the question is dismissed with a wry smile and one line comment - "I'll say no more than 'we are currently 80% of the way'."
Either way, "we'll keep you posted!" *flashes a rvdavideque wry smile*
Check out our current, "stunning" one page website at - http://www.devproducts.com/
We'd like to close this quick update with a quote from RV David - "we're just like expert mechanics who drive ****ty cars while taking excellent care of their clients' cars. We're expert web developers who have a ****ty website who focus our efforts on our client's websites [...]"
"****ty" is right! Roll on with the focus DevProducts! :P
