Missing xgettext Program Linux

If you’re in the business of translating text and coding websites you’ll most probably at some point be needing the utility called ‘xgettext’ but if it is not installed on your system you will need to install the entire set of tools called gettext from GNU.

If you’re on a CentOS system or equivalent and have yum installed simply run

yum install gettext

dd_belatedpng is undefined – IE6 Javascript Error

I’ve started using DD_belatedPNG to fix transparent PNG’s in Internet Explorer 6 for my Web Design Projects. However I had this little error occurring on each page load:

dd_belatedpng is undefined

The problem was that I had included the script:

<!–[if lt IE 7 ]>
<script src=”/globals/js/dd_belatedpng.js”></script>
<script> DD_belatedPNG.fix(‘img, .png_bg’); //fix any <img> or .png_bg background-images </script>
<![endif]–>

In the <head> area of my code, essentially triggering straight away – what you need to do is include the above script just before your closing </body> tag and everything should be fine!

Your Internet Explorer 6 sites now look that tiny bit better!

PHP JSON Module Install on a CentOS 5 Server

So I was messing around with jQuery‘s new little piece of sex – the jQuery Mobile Framework, when bam!

Call to undefined function json_decode() in /var/www/server/path/secret/h4x.php on line 56

Oh no! My PHP skills have failed me so I thought. But alas I had not made this magical mystical function up, it is of course a PHP Module, and soon to be included in PHP 5.2

After a quick bit of googling I came across an excellent tutorial for installing the said module, however I then ran into another problem after trying to execute ‘pecl install json’.

CSS3 Implemented Correctly – Last.fm

I noticed today while viewing my Last.fm profile that they are utilizing some of new CSS3 properties that are starting to make an appearance on the web. They have been very clever and only use these properties aesthetically in their design as to not break the design layout in Internet Explorer (Of which no current support is available for CSS3 in any of Microsoft’s released browsers).

Install, Remove and Update Applications Plesk and Virtuozzo Power Panel

On the eUKhost blog, they just posted a new article about Virtuozzo Power Panel that comes with most of their VPS servers. The Power Panel is a great piece of kit and I’ve been intending on writing a little blog post for a while about how easy it is to use, not only for the features listed in the eUKhost blog but more aimed towards the ease of installing programs and applications at the operating system level (CentOS in my case).
