Comment on Add Relative Links to WordPress Menus by Guillermo A. Fisher

I’m usually able to remove the “http://” it prepends right from the Menus screen. Is it not letting you do that?

It also destroys Umlauts in the current menu.

WP automatically prepends ‘http://’ to all custom links if they don’t allready have it. That’s why your code is not working for me.

Comment on Extending CodeIgniter’s Exceptions Class by Guillermo A. Fisher

Guillermo A. Fisher — Wed, 17 Aug 2011 15:14:40 +0000

@Philip The naming is a bit misleading. CodeIgniter -- at least, as it exists today -- doesn't throw exceptions. And CI_Exceptions handles errors, not exceptions. You can't throw an instance of CI_Exceptions (it doesn't extend PHP's native Exception class, and the constructor doesn't take any arguments). If you throw an uncaught exception, CI_Exceptions won't handle it. You can probably use CI_Exceptions as your exception handler, although I'm not sure of the nuance involved in doing that (I should try it and do a post, probably). If you look in CodeIgniter.php, you'll find set_error_handler('_exception_handler');, which begs the question, "Why aren't they using set_exception_handler() instead since the name of the callback is, um, _exception_handler?". For some reason, they use the terms "exception" and "error" as if the two are interchangeable when they really aren't in PHP. _exception_handler() loads CI_Exceptions and uses it's methods to show and log the error. My guess is that since CI has been in development since around 2006 -- back when lots of people were still using PHP4 (set_exception_handler() has only been available since PHP5) -- that's how they decided to introduce the concept of exception handling.

I’ve just started working with CodeIgniter to get started with a more structured Framework. We had created our own, but with bring on new talent, we need something that others have worked with before. Anyway, in my previous code I used try/catch for exceptions a lot. Is this available in CI? With the Framework, is there anything to catch? I know that I could throw my own exceptions, but is the CI_Exceptions a traditional try/catch exception handler? I guess I’m a little thrown by the wording of an Exception that doesn’t use try/catch, or does it? Any additional information would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

That really means a lot to me. Yes, it was “The Silentfusion Collective Presents” way back when, and there were several other writers involved. Now it’s just me writing whenever my courage, time, and stamina line up.

Thanks again!

I used to read your blog (or it might have been a collective of some sort?) a lifetime ago. It had a dark ornate arabesque design, as I recall, and I much enjoyed the content. Somehow your name was unearthed from my subconscious this evening and I naturally googled it. Good to see you’re still sort of at it. Stay strong.
