“A storage mediator is responsible for determining whether to store lobs in the database or in the file system. It takes care of processing various operations related to lobs such as retrieving their content and properly storing them, while maintaining relations between the db data and the lob itself, no matter if it has been saved in the filesystem or the db.
While configuring the system is up to the server administrator, a mediator is able to provide fallbacks if the used instances of Conjoon_File_LobAccess and Conjoon_Db_LobAccess have been implemented properly: As long as the hint for the storage_container maintains valid, lob data can be retrieved from the filesystem even if the application’s configuration is set to storing the lobs in the database (this goes for lobs that have been saved before  configuration changed).”

Users still have to apply for a demo account, however, this process is fully automated and the data is only needed to set up accounts in the conjoon demo’s database. You can register for an account here.

Yes, you might think the “ALL NEW!” stamp is kind of cheesy and the colors might be too bright, but that’s just how I’d like to announce the immediate availability of a preview version for conjoon 0.1 - in a very reserved way, of course.

conjoon V0.1RC1Pr935 is available from the conjoon project page and brings you a sneek peak of things to come. This release brings you

• system sounds
• configurable workbench, i.e. lots of drag & drop goodies
• a Twitter client with lots of features
• enhanced Youtube panel
• backend performance improvements (caching)
• Ext 3.0 to allow for a more stable, even faster responding UI
• Zend Framework 1.9.4 to allow for a more stable backend
• backend support for Ext.Direct-API (stacked requests, stacked responses)
• bug fixes, enhancements, and more…

There are some known issues with IE7/IE8 related to some user extensions that conjoon uses, that’s why I labeled the release as a preview and offer a “build” version only (i.e. no dev sources), but it’s fully functional in all other major browsers. Go grab your copy, it’s totally free. If you want to leave feedback, I’d be more than happy to welcome you in the conjoon forums!

The project home for Ext.ux.Livegrid has been finally moved - you can find it now at the official webpage www.ext-livegrid.com.
The prior project home will redirect you automatically to the new page - please update your bookmarks accordingly.

Connected with the new project home is a wiki/bugtracker which you will find at wiki.ext-livegrid.com

There is an interview about conjoon in the news area of the t3n magazine. You can read it here.

I answer several questions related to the development process and you will find out why I had a hard time figuring out a name for the project. It goes without saying that I recommend ExtJS and Zend Framework for your daily work as an app builder there, too.

Thanks to the yeebase team for  their interest in the software!

I’m excited to finally meet the Ext JS staff personally and tech-talk with the community members .

They offer an early registration discount for registering by the 10th of February, so make sure you subscribe today!

In the meantime, please use the address www.conjoon.de, which serves as our fallback domain.
