Prototype and Mootools are incompatible

Posted by Eric Polerecky in JavaScript, mootools, prototypeNov 12th, 2008 | No Comments

Just a quick reminder, both Prototype and Mootools extend (er um…’prototype’) the JavaScript core language. As such they can’t be used together.

For example, you cant have FancyUpdate2 (based on Mootools) and TableSort (based on prototype) on the same page…and if you include JS in your header or masterpage like you should…you probably can’t get them to run in the same site..

Using wordpress-automatic-upgrade to upgrade to 2.7-beta2

Posted by Eric Polerecky in defaultNov 7th, 2008 | No Comments

Today I updated eric.polerecky.com to 2.7-beta2 using the wordpress-automatic-upgrade plugin. Everything went smooth. Once the upgrade was complete I had to disable wordpress-automatic-upgrade because of some errors in the admin pages.

How to: edit wordpress-automatic-upgrade.php around line 2100 and change
$downloadURL = ‘http://wordpress.org/latest.zip’;
to
$downloadURL = ‘http://wordpress.org/wordpress-2.7-beta2.zip’;

Visual Studio “The path is not of a legal form” bug Fixed (for me)

Posted by Eric Polerecky in AnkhSVN, SVN, Visual Studio, VisualSVNNov 7th, 2008 | No Comments

Short and sweet, I had Visual SVN both and AnkhSVN installed. After uninstalling both the problem went away.

I was using Visual SVN until the trial ran out. I’m on a clients PC so I can’t install my own copy (boo!) so I tried Ankh…soon after both where installed I started getting the error.

I did not try just uninstalling Visual and leaving Ankh…I guess I should have.
