Haiku Insider website launched

Yes two options if you would like to test under haiku :

  • the PHP built in server (preferred version and quicker one) :
    php -S localhost
  • The lighttpd setup explained on Haiku Insider

Bludit testing is fine with PHP built in server, for lighthttpd I didn’t have a look, so to check

Ah nice, but I could not follow your advice, Where to find the lighttpd setup on Haiku Insider (haikuinsider.org?) or on the Wordpress pages?
Would you write some article how to use php with HAIKU and make a small tutorial with php -S localhost…
I tried in terminal but, sorry I have no clue how to use it to make some easy php-website!
Yes a small tutorial on your new haikuinsider.org site would be much appericated!

You it’s available on the Wordpress site. Please note the .org site is not officially transfered.

You can search for PHP : Search Results for “PHP” – Haiku Insider

I second that. Also, the icons in the mobile version are huuuge.

Smaller icons would be nice…

Edit: I see you changed the icon-size on your haikuinsider.org site already! Nice!

Very nice tutorial, good explained thanks a lot, I did not know HAIKU can PHP for a long (unneccessary) time!

I will try to do some PHP then.

One question, you used Pe, Koder I have installed and Genio for my homepage with GIT. Is there any reason you used Pe?

PS.: To start the PHP built in server (php -S localhost) you need to open terminal in the www (created in Home) folder to find the index.php file

Pe is the default code editor once you have a fresh Haiku install.
So without any internet connection, at least you have this editor, that’s the only reason most of the time I’ve referring to Pe in the articles as it can do the job in many scenario.

It’s a kind of VI / VIM for Linux :wink:

Most of the hard work for the articles migration is completed:)

I will fine tune the site during the coming days (links to fix, color to adjust, some icons to adjust) and once I’m happy with it I will do a communication for the official “opening”.

The first good point I can see is that with bludit it’s ** really ** fast (PHP only + no ads).

I hope to produce a few new articles once everything is ready :slight_smile:

One thing that might be interesting, you can nowadays match websites to system colors exactly CSS System Colors - Jim Nielsen’s Blog

WebPositive supports this, you can set your document Color in pref/appearence and then have websites match this.

A stupid question probably but gtk themes are using css, aren’t they? So I’m wondering if that could be used to make them follow Haiku system colours in some way.

Looks beautiful!

Nice! But please leave the old site up, at least for a while, so that links to it don’t immediately go dark.

cool, i like your page about the icons thing, maybe its better if you share your work at haikuports so other that have no programming skill can use your work?

Love the new layout, one point, the rss feed doesn’t seem to work, switched to the new link and now nothing shows in Akregator?

Very nice! Finally silky smooth vector icons instead those ragged pixlies. :slight_smile:

You may want to start a separate thread for quick announcements of new articles, similar to the New at “Desktop on Fire”.

I’ve just got NGINX+PHP+Bludit working fine on Haiku :slight_smile:

I will clean up everything and will write a dedicated article on how to.
