DigiSell V2.0 = Shopify + Bigcartel + BaseApp

My old paypal script which is being used a quite a lot will be getting an upgrade soon. It will now be a full fledged digital store yet simple to use. For not i can say it will be somewhat like Shopify and Bigcartel mixed up and digital file handling added and some other cool neat features. Will also be capable of handling normal goods.

It will be called BaseApp Digisell and will be dual licensed ( Like MySql ).

If you guys have any ideas which you wuold like to see in a simple flexible shopping cart please let me know.

BaseApp PHP Framework – Simple Small and Swift

BaseApp Framework is aimed at individual commercial developers or small web application builders who need a starting point.Also if you are a CakePHP User you will find yourself at home with the API. BaseApp was inspired by CakePHP And Codeigniter but tries to do everything under 50 kb.

It has support for most common features available in frameworks these days but achieves all this in under 50 Kb of compressed Code and not MBs of it.

Some Non Technical Feature

  • Really really LightWeight( < 50 Kb compressed , around 100 k uncompressed)
  • Really really Fast ( cause its Damn Small )
  • Almost 0 Configuration
  • Short Learning Curve
  • Easy to extend
  • Nonrestrictive MIT License

Some Technical Features

  • PHP 5 with support for new features like autoloading etc
  • Fully MVC ( But can be used as a library also )
  • CakePHP API ( 80 % ) and Layout
  • Active Records and Object Relation Ship Mapping (ORM)
  • Model Validation with complementing form helpers
  • Data Abstraction Layer with Adodb Support ( Almost all databases supported )
  • Extensive Debugging and Exception Handling facilities ( FireBug Support Built in )
  • Extendable Cookie and Session Handling
  • Search engine friendly and url routing features.
  • Ajax Support through Jquery.

You can checkout the project on Google Code .

Connection Keep Alive

Here is a small utility i wrote which helps me remain connected, gives vocal notification when i disconnect and is capable of resetting my router in case the router needs restart.

Some reasons i wrote it

  • Bad MTNL ADSL Connection , disconnects every few minutes.
  • Using Ping was not really helping, ping worked but when http request was sent Internet disconnected.
  • Could not find any utility giving Vocal Notifications.
  • Could not find any utility capable of executing applications in case of disconnection/connection. I needed my router to be reset when i disconnect due to some XBOX Live issues.

Anyhow it was written in a weekend , and am using it now and some of you guys might also find it useful so am releasing it for free. This requires .net 2.0 + .

Some features -

  • Configurable fetch sites and fetch timeouts.Uses HTTP fetch.
  • Vocal Notification of connection and disconnection.
  • Execute application when connection or disconnection takes place. Usefull when you need to reset router etc.
  • Sits idle in status bar , with notification icon and Baloon Tips.

In-case of ideas or bugs post them here .
