# NGINX Configuration for CakePHP projects with url subdirectories.
# 
# In a classic-default-generic CakePHP project you can have as many
# independent applications as you want just by copying the app/
# directory. Apache and the .htaccess files will make the magic, but
# in a nginx server you will need a touch to your virtualhost conf.
# 
# So, in order to make this:
# 
# example.com/                    —>  ~/cakephp.dev/app/webroot/index.php

# Replace any brackets with real values

# Try to ssh in to DREAMHOST (ensure it no longer asks for a PW); you may want to restart Terminal
ssh [user]@[host]
cd ~
mkdir [mydomain_com].git
cd [mydomain_com].git
git init --bare
vi hooks/post-receive
# Enter the code from the "post-receive" file (in this gist); save + quit

Share Counts

I have always struggled with getting all the various share buttons from Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus, Pinterest, etc to align correctly and to not look like a tacky explosion of buttons. Seeing a number of sites rolling their own share buttons with counts, for example The Next Web I decided to look into the various APIs on how to simply return the share count.

If you want to roll up all of these into a single jQuery plugin check out Sharrre

Many of these API calls and methods are undocumented, so anticipate that they will change in the future. Also, if you are planning on rolling these out across a site I would recommend creating a simple endpoint that periodically caches results from all of the APIs so that you are not overloading the services will requests.

// Open the XML
$handle = fopen('file.xml', 'r');

// Get the nodestring incrementally from the xml file by defining a callback
// In this case using a anon function.
nodeStringFromXMLFile($handle, '<item>', '</item>', function($nodeText){
    // Transform the XMLString into an array and 
    print_r(getArrayFromXMLString($nodeText));
