PRADO Watch: 10th July 2007

I’m still playing with the Prado Watch format, I may push it up to a weekly post. Please give me any feedback you may have.

Releases

3.1 finally gets it’s stable release, I like to think of it as “Prado Web 2.0″. You can now confidently put all the cool new features into your production code. If you have enjoyed Prado but weren’t sure about recommending it to your friends and colleges now is the time to send them that link!

Don’t forget to check out the demos section it has ten great demos and a screencast to checkout some even with tutorials that go with them. The release says there is a blog tutorial but for the life of me I couldn’t see a link in the demo area, so here is a direct link to the blog tutorial.

Just Checked In

TErrorHandler, which is the default error display class received the addition of two new methods getErrorTemplate() and getExceptionTemplate() this is going to make having your own custom error messages much more simple to implement.

Components

Tof has release a very exciting set of components under the name Csitemap. The release consists of four components, I won’t go into detail but the most exciting thing for me is it has a standalone site map module. This allows you to create a new style of menu with out having to write any code for how the pages are configured, just tell people downloading your menu component to use Tof’s CSitemapManager. If you’ve got some menu code sitting out there but haven’t released it because didn’t want to write all the configuration code, go create a components that sits on top of Tof’s work and your done.

In The Wild

Dario Rigolin of ePortal Technologie has just released www.foxcoverplay.com a Prado built site using Prado 3, I18N and Ajax.

Next Time On Prado Watch

I’ll be talking to Dario Rigolin about his experiance building www.foxcoverplay.com and some of the other work him company dose with Prado.

If you have any suggestions for other people from the Prado world you would like to read an interview for and what you would ask please post it in the comments.
