Paperless Document Management with Linux

LPDM is a simple, linux-based document management system for bills and other important documents.  It comes in the form of a shell script that, in one step, scans, converts to PDF, and organizes your documents.  Once you've scanned all your important documents, backup your hard drive and take all that paper to your local recycling center!

CPanel Site Auto-Backup

A while back I was looking for a way to backup my cPanel-based websites and databases and I don't really dig the idea of huge daily backups taking up space on the same partition I'm trying to protect. Enter CPSafe. Using a combination of shell scripts and cron, CPSafe backs up all your cPanel-managed sites/databases and offloads them to an FTP server. Using CPSafe saves space on your server because backups are generated on the fly using wget and you don't have to enable backups within cPanel.

Picasa Web Albums and PHP

I use Picasa Web Albums almost exclusively because Picasa is so darn easy to use and one-click upload to a web gallery is a great perk, but I don't love the look of PWA so I decided to try and use the API to pull down a list of my public albums for display on my photo site.

Exponent CMS Address Book

Exponent CMS doesn't provide a way to display user contact information (from the users table) within an addressbook module and I needed a "users directory" for one of my sites.  My query on the Exponent CMS support forum yeilded zero responses after a week, so I wrote a PHP script to sync the data from the users table to the addressbook_contact table.
 

Exponent CMS News Stats

Out of the box, Exponent doesn't provide the ability to track the number of times a particular news story has been read, which is a nice piece of info to display alongside the article.  By modifiying one database table and several source files, you too can add this feature to your Exponent CMS based site.  Read on for the details.
