Mobile Developments for Small and Home Business

May 2nd , 2012 → 7:20 pm @

Mobile Developments for Small and Home Business The rapid expansion of the Mobile Web and the success of smartphones and tablets open new opportunities and imperatives for Website Developments. In as much as Semiomantics is concerned, the focus is set on two main issues: Conversion and integration of web content into an App Publishing on Multiple Platforms Optimization Conversion and integration of web content into an App Whether it is a simple blog or a shop, a photo site or a video library, a directory or any other content, your website can be converted and integrated into a mobile App. Production cost will vary in function of the complexity of the development. I mention cost at this point because for the time being, App developments are still relatively expensive, but that’s the price to pay for a seat in the front row. The mobile web and mobile devices and platforms offer today many features designed to enhance conversation, feedback and interaction which are much more dynamic, flexible and user-friendly than those offered on traditional websites. Also, an App is much easier to use on a smartphone than surfing a website. Bookmarking a website and then accessing (loading) it at a [...]

Eval base64 Hack Solutions

April 26th , 2012 → 7:06 pm @

eval base64 on WordPress or other Sites WordPress and other CMS powered sites are often targets for hackers who mass-inject some code into php and or html files. What to look for The cases I came across so far showed a hack just before the closing body tag in form of a short script pointing to an external source. Also, in some cases I found some php file in the uploads folder (in WP the uploads folder should not contain any php files). Once the script executed, a long string starting something like this: is placed on php and/or htm/html files. This eval base64 encoded and injected PHP code will hit all php archives. How to get rid of the hack without destroying your site To start with: change your passwords (FTP and Admin). Make sure your site script WP and Plugins are updated. Check your footer.php (theme folder) and delete eventually the script added by the hack (or just load your backed up footer.php and replace the file). Check your uploads folder for php files and delete them. Check your plugins folder for unusual php files and as the case may be delete them. If you are not familiar [...]

Local Website Design

April 25th , 2012 → 12:07 pm @

How to build a Local Website Go Local is the name of the game in 2011/12 and the success of bringing the global web developments back home is a trend of the time. First it was about tagging people, now we tag locations, be it on social networks such as Facebook or on Photo sites, such as Picasa or Flickr. Based on the fact that surfers search for and prefer local business to cross border transactions, social networks namely have built in the local tags and stimulate users to hook media and events to geographically tagged locations. How to dominate the local market? In order to dominate the local market, you need to assess the use of the internet your neighbors make; chances are that they mostly hang out on social media, search Google and use email. This is of course an extremely simplified view but it gives an indication about where we need to build high visibility. You also want to have an idea about how people access the net and websites; you will notice an increased use of mobile deices, which means that your content needs to be formatted and optimized  for desktops as well as for tablets [...]

WordPress 3.4 Beta

April 9th , 2012 → 10:36 am @

WordPress 3.4 Beta Custom Headers and Backgrounds The release of WordPress 3.4 Beta raises a number of problemsquestions for theme designers in as much as Custom Headers and Custom Backgrounds are concerned. The implementation methods via add_custom_background() and add_custom_image_header() will be depreciated and replaced by a more powerful method via add_theme_support(). The impact for Semiomantics XO and EVO Due to the depreciation of the old calls, we will need to update the themes and make the modifications needed to take advantage of the new features provided by WordPress 3.4. The new theme versions will work with WP 3.4 minimum and must not be used with previous WP versions. Custom developments and child themes may need a special treatment, depending on the degree of customization. I will arrange for some developers calls or set up some tutorials in due course. For the time being I am testing WP 3.4 Beta to check backwards compatibility using our themes. I will keep you posted on results and updates.   Incoming search terms:wordpress 3 4custom backgrounds wordpress 3 4 backward compatiblewordpress 3 4 betawp beta 3 4Related posts: Semiomantics XO Transparent WordPress Drafts How to Customize your WordPress Typography WordPress Themes and Development Showcase [...]

New Photoshop CS6 Beta

April 8th , 2012 → 7:34 pm @

Photoshop CS6 Today let’s have a look at Photoshop CS6 Beta which is available for free download from Adobe. The version is called ‘Superstition’ and it is the first significant update to Photoshop since CS5 ( in the Suite CS5.5 Adobe delivered the same Photoshop as in CS5). Who is Photoshop CS6 for? Having thoroughly tested the new Photoshop CS6 Beta, it seems to me that this version is addressing namely people who are working with digital photos and videos; also the 3D features have been significantly improved. In other words, if you are not using Photoshop to edit your images, needing content aware patching and selective blurring, there is no real need to upgrade your CS5. If however you are a photo freak and if you are shooting short videos, then Photoshop CS6 is a smashing program, allowing you to go beyond what photography can do (such as multiple shallow depth of field areas on a single image). What is new on Photoshop CS6? This is what’s new on Photoshop CS6:     UI redesign (all new icons and optional dark UI) OK, they copied (sorry, got inspired by (big companies don’t copy, huh)) Apple’s Aperture; you can switch back [...]

New Facebook Pages Publishing Concept

March 29th , 2012 → 2:15 pm @

Facebook Page Publishing with New Timeline As from March 30, Facebook pages will change their look and features. I have presented the new options at last week-end’s Ycademy Seminar. In order to take advantage of the new features, companies, brands or people in general must adapt to the new format and can optionally expand visibility and interactivity using a well thought publishing concept. The concept I am talking about is the Semiomantics Facebook Publishing Concept. Semiomantics Facebook Publishing Concept Semiomantics has been focused on developing high performance scripts for online publishing since 2008. Originally the main target was SEO to reach Google Top 10 listings and to gain high visibility and traffic on and from search engines. Semiomantics main concern has always been to control and secure content and to make it available online in the customer’s own rights, rather than to entrust third party sites such as social networks with the content and letting them handle the publication. The second most important concern is productivity and an efficient workflow, allowing to edit and publish on one place only all content for the web (including the mobile web) and to channel it then to the different target locations, networks and [...]
