Deploying via a symlink and optimising OPcache
This is a very technical post. It’s about the way we are deploying new versions of the Alpine Booking system to the thirty clubs that are currently using the system. Previously, each club had a copy of the source code in the webroot for their domain. These were deployed using rsync – the steps were as follows:
WordPress Development Offline
The most usual way to develop software is for the developer(s) to work on their personal computer, with a code repository mediating inputs from multiple developers, such as SVN or GIT. Even a solo developer might use a code repository to manage the code they are developing, to get reliable versioning and deployment tools.
WordPress, Yii and AngularJS
18.9% of all websites use WordPress (as of Feb 7 2014)1. CBDWeb has built, maintains and provides hosting for fifteen2 of these, and that number is growing. We chose WordPress because it is easy for you to use, for the availability of plugins and because it is a cost-effective development environment. If your website needs a plugin that doesn’t exist, or an existing plugin needs enhancement, CBDWeb can build it for you.
WooCommerce and image sizes
WooCommerce is possibly the most commonly used shopping cart used with WordPress, it’s a free plugin. The way the items and catalogs display is determined by the particular WordPress theme that the site is using. Each theme will determine the sizes of various thumbnails and images throughout the WooCommerce pages.

Two problems fixed
Waitlist Bookings Invoicing
Waitlist bookings invoicing is now handled a little differently. The problem occurred if a WAITLIST booking was changed to TENATITVE or CONFIRMED, then back to WAITLIST then back to TENTATIVE or CONFIRMED. This would happen when a booking is placed into WAITLIST in order to free up a room or rooms, to allow shuffling of bookings to exchange rooms. read more
