New Miva Script blog articles

[Kent Multer]

Hi folks,

I've published a couple more articles on Miva Script programming. Here's one with a collection of functions for efficiently creating checkboxes, menus, and other form input elements: [url]http://themagicm.com/store/html-helper-functions.html,/urll

Also, in case I forgot to mention it, here's an older article about what I call "MSON," a JSON-like notation for Miva Script data: http://themagicm.com/store/mson-json-for-miva.html.

Enjoy! P.S. Feedback will be appreciated, on the design as well as the content, e.g. do the fonts look OK on your browser?

Thanks --

Interesting. I just happened to pop in here, as I'm not writing a lot of Mivascript these days, although I still have one or two sites still running a CMS I wrote years ago, and it gets updated occasionally still.
I needed to pop in here and have a look as I was having some issues migrating to a new CentOS VPS, (which I got sorted) and see who is still active with Mivascript.
It's nice to see the language is still getting features added to it, and really exciting to see a Postgresql database library.
I put the miva_array_deserialize function to similar effect years ago before Mivascript got a template compiler.
Because it takes a string as an input, I was able to include serialised variables in a plain text template file or database record and get Mivascript to read them quite nicely.
