CodeLobster IDE - free PHP, HTML, CSS, JavaScript / TypeScript editor

In this article, we suggest you to get acquainted with the free editor of web languages - CodeLobster IDE. It is presented on the software market for a long time already, and it wins a lot of fans.
 CodeLobster IDE allows you to edit PHP, HTML, CSS, JavaScript and TypeScript files, it highlights the syntax and gives hints for tags, functions and their parameters. This editor easily deals with those files that contain a mixed content.
 If you insert PHP code in your HTML template, then the editor correctly highlights both HTML tags and PHP functions. The same applies to CSS and JavaScript/TypeScript code, which is contained in HTML files.
 The program includes auto-completion function, which greatly speeds up the programmer's work and eliminates the possibility of errors.
 

 
CodeLobster IDE provides contextual help on all supported programming languages, it uses the most up to date documentation at this moment, downloading it from official sites. So we can quickly get a description of any HTML tag, CSS attribute, PHP or JavaScript/TypeScript function by pressing the F1 key.
 The built-in PHP debugger allows you to execute PHP scripts step by step, sequentially moving through the lines of code. You can assign check points, view the process of the work of loops, and monitor the values of all variables during the execution of the script.
 Other useful functions and features of the IDE:
A pair highlighting of parentheses and tags - you will never have to count parentheses or quotation marks, the editor will take care of it. Highlighting of blocks, selection and collapsing of code snippets, bookmarks to facilitate navigation on the edited file, recognition and building of the complete structure of PHP projects - these functions ensure easy work with projects of any scale.  Support for 17 user interface languages, among them English, German, Russian, Spanish, French and others. The program works on the following operation systems: Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, Mac OS, Linux, Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian.  The professional version of CodeLobster IDE provides the programmer with even more features.
For example, you have an opportunity to work with projects on a remote server with use of the built-in FTP client. You can edit the selected files, preview the results and then synchronize the changes with the files on the hosting.
In addition the professional version includes an extensive set of plug-ins:
Fully implemented support for JavaScript (and TypeScript) libraries, such as jQuery, Node.js, AngularJS, AngularTS, BackboneJS, EmberJS, VueJS and MeteorJS. A large set of extensions that help to work with PHP frameworks - CakePHP, CodeIgniter, Laravel, Phalcon, Smarty, Symfony, Twig and Yii plug-ins. Plugins for working with the most popular CMS - Drupal, Joomla, Magento and WordPress. Also CodeLobster IDE has special plug-in for Bootstrap.  
We can download and install any framework directly from the program without being distracted from the main tasks.
 In general, for a year of work, our team had no complaints against the editor. CodeLobster IDE works fast, does not hang and allows us to work even with large PHP projects.
You can download CodeLobster IDE from the original website:

Global Internet Outage affects games and services all around the world

A global Internet Outage that is affecting thousands of services is currently in effect. It seems that the origin is Level3 / Centurylink which affects not just games, but also internet traffic and even phone services. It is safe to say that people are not happy at the moment.
It seems that this started just before lunch swedish time and reports of network issues started flood in right after that. Popular games suddenly had server issues and the list of affected services on Downdetector grew fast. Centurylink seem to have some serious issues right now as they seem to have somehow manage to break IPv4 and IPv6 making traffic loop without finding their intended destination.

Besides breaking a large portion of services it also seem that their ISP part is also down, causing a lot of people loose their Internet connection. This also affect IP based phone services of course, which could be a big problem.
Based on reports from different sources, such as the Cloud Helix status page it seems that CenturyLink have identified multiple Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) issues causing service impacts across multiple markets. This would explain the IPv4 and IPv6 issues and it is not a total surprise that the now 26 year old protocol would be the cause.
We are still waiting fo the official word from CenturyLink that has remained dead silent about the situation. That is never a good sign, even if it is a sunday and the world in general is a bit crazy.
We hope for a quick resolution and hope everyone affected remain safe and calm.

How to add tabbed blocks in Invision Community Pages

Adding content using tabs in Invision Community Pages is one of the most common questions I get about this website. It is something that is really not that complicated, but it is a bit tricky to find the information. In this article I will show you how I created my tabbed blocks so you can use it on your own page.
While you can add this directly into a template if you want, I prefer to build this using blocks. This way I can control the content in more detail and it makes my life easier since I have different blocks for each content. So I first start with creating a block that will hold the tabs themselves. In this block I will reference in other blocks to display the content for each tabbed content.
To create a new block you go to Pages -> Page Management -> Blocks. There we create a custom block with manual HTML as the content editor.

Give the block a name and a template key. I also have organized my templates so that my Tabs are in a separate category, which help making things a little easier to find when you have a lot of blocks like I do.

In the content section you can now add the HTML and template logic to create the tabs section.  The information on how tabs work can be found in the documentation here: https://invisioncommunity.com/4guides/themes-and-customizations/javascript-framework/using-ui-widgets/ipsuitabbar-r66/
 
<div class="ipsTabs ipsTabs_contained ipsTabs_withIcons ipsTabs_large ipsTabs_stretch ipsClearfix" id="elTabBar" data-ipstabbar="" data-ipstabbar-defaulttab="1" data-ipstabbar-contentarea="#" data-ipstabbar-updateurl="false"> <a href="" data-action="expandTabs"><i class="fa fa-caret-down"></i></a> <ul role="tablist"> <li> <a href="" role="tab" id="1" class="ipsType_center ipsTabs_item ipsTabs_activeItem" aria-selected="true"> <i class="far fa-newspaper"></i> Management Articles </a> </li> <li> <a href="" role="tab" id="2" class="ipsType_center ipsTabs_item"> <i class="fas fa-comment-alt"></i> Management Discussions </a> </li> <li> <a href="" role="tab" id="3" class="ipsType_center ipsTabs_item"> <i class="fas fa-id-card"></i>Management People </a> </li> <li> <a href="" role="tab" id="4" class="ipsType_center ipsTabs_item"> <i class="fas fa-cloud-download-alt"></i>Management Downloads </a> </li> <li> <a href="" role="tab" id="5" class="ipsType_center ipsTabs_item"> <i class="fas fa-play-circle"></i>Management Videos </a> </li> <li> <a href="" role="tab" id="6" class="ipsType_center ipsTabs_item"> <i class="fas fa-link"></i>Management Links </a> </li> </ul> </div> <section class="ipsTabs_panels ipsTabs_contained"> <div id="ipsTabs_elTabBar_1_panel" class='ipsTabs_panel'> {block="latest_management_articles"} <a href="https://jimiwikman.se/blog-articles/blog/professional/management/">Read All Articles</a> </div> <div id="ipsTabs_elTabBar_2_panel" class='ipsTabs_panel'> {block="management_forum_topics"} </div> <div id="ipsTabs_elTabBar_3_panel" class='ipsTabs_panel'> {block="awesome_management"} </div> <div id="ipsTabs_elTabBar_4_panel" class='ipsTabs_panel'> {block="latest_management_downloads"} </div> <div id="ipsTabs_elTabBar_5_panel" class='ipsTabs_panel'> {block="latest_management_videos"} </div> <div id="ipsTabs_elTabBar_6_panel" class='ipsTabs_panel'> {block="latest_management_links"} </div> </section> In this code we have the top section defining the tabs themselves. Each tab has an ID that we use in the bottom section to determine what content we show in each tab. This is done in the bottom section by adding the ID to the div ID "ipsTabs_elTabBar_HERE_panel". So for example we can add the ID of 1 to show the content for the first tab by adding the number 1 to that ID: "ipsTabs_elTabBar_1_panel".
What I have done for my setup is to add blocks rather than content directly into the bottom section. For me that make things easier to manage, but you can add it directly to your block if you prefer that. In my code here I am using FontAwesome to create the icons for the tabs. You can just take those out if you prefer not to have icons in your tabs.
Once this has been done, then you have a block that you can add to any page, just like other blocks. You can see this example live here: https://jimiwikman.se/management/

I hope this is helpful and if you have any questions on how this works or how to modify it, feel free to add a comment. I will do my best to answer as always. If you have other questions on Invision Community, please use the discussion forum.

Atlassian acquire Mindville - asset and configuration management from Sweden

Atlassian and Mindville announced on thursday that Atlassian has acquired Mindville.  This means that Atlassian acquire Mindville's asset and configuration management product Insight, which strengthen their psoition against competitors like ServiceNow.
The CEO of Mindville Tommy Nordahl is well known to us in Stockholm who have participated in the Atlassian Usergroup events that I ran for two years. For many he is Riada, the company he started many years ago as the Atlassian company number one in Stockholm (and sweden?). Lately he has focused more on the asset and configuration managament product Insight and I am not surprised that Atlassian now have aquired it.
Atlassian and ServiceNow are both gearing up for a battle. Since ServiceNow are strong in the asset and configuration management it makes sense that Atlassian want to stregthen their portfolio in their area.  With more than 1700 customers already and Atlassian now adding resources I think we will see the cloud adaptation speed up a lot.
If you have not looked at Insight before, then I suggest you do. Not only is it looking great and is easy to work with, it is also powerful and a very useful addition to your support organization. Using Insight alongside Jira Service Desk and Confluence is probably the most powerful way to manage incidents in your organization. The fact that you can directly connect it to your development and opertions team who already work in Jira make it even more powerful.
 
 
I just want to say congratulation to Tommy and his amazing team for this accomplishment. To Atlassian I can only say good job on this acquisition. It will take you another step closer to being the natural choice for mid sized and large organizations, just as you already are the natural choice for small companies and all development teams today.
