The breast cancer run is coming up. A cause well worth supporting…
This song might inspire more people to join I think…
Shanti 2004 - 2008

A week ago I had a perfectly healthy Husky. A husky that ate something he should not have. Friday he started vomiting violently, Saturday morning we brought him to the vet, he was operated, they found a foreign body in his stomach which they removed. But to no avail. Last night after work we stopped by the vet, where he was laying and crying VERY loud, while being given big doses of Morphine and Antibiotics. But alas, this morning we where called. Shortly after our leaving last night, he passed away (a Peritonitis being the culprite - this might have been treatable, but not after having been through surgery). I am so sad right now, so I need to share…

Two core elements have been keeping me busy on my Shanti CMS.
SEO and Remoting.
For SEO optimization I added implemented the Google Sitemap code found over on the CI Wiki. So now when adding content is modified via the CMS, the sitemap xml is automatically updated and Google is pinged to notify the surf monster that the content has been updated. Other engines robots also use the sitemap to quickly index a site.
I also revised the menu structure. Or the URLS rather. As opposed to targeting section/getSection/[id] I am now calling section/getSection/[title]. All this to make google happy. Ah well.
Finally I have been dabbling on integrating AMFPHP with Shanti. Sending the content to a Flash interface as well as a HTML one has something I wanted from the get-go. Several solutions are on offer on CI forums and Wiki. But after a lot of trial and error (more of the latter really), I am going for the Wiki entry on ‘Calling CI models from outside script ‘. So far integration has been a breeze. The AMFPHP service simply makes a call to the CI model wraps the data into a Flash friendly Array of Objects and shoots them back to the Flash requesting the data.
