Kohana 2.3 routing
In my last post I mentioned that there’s a change in the works for Kohana 2.3, and I wasn’t lying! If you watch the forum then you will of certainly seen some discussions on it, of particular note are:Routing in 2.3 and 2.3 Routing Examples.
I think initially the change was met with skepticism , as these things so often are, people don’t like future compatibility issues, which is understandable, but in this case I think the additional advantage gained is great enough to offset this potential cause of frustration. Hopefully this post will outline some of those benefits to you, allowing you to make up your own mind!

Kohana ORM Tip : ORM Tree
Well the last ORM tip seemed to get a bit of traffic so I thought I would throw another one together. This time it covers the little known ORM_Tree library. This is (IMO) a spectacular example of the flexibility and power of Kohana, by taking a look at this ORM extension (system/libraries/ORM_Tree) you can see quite how easily this age old storage pattern is solved by extending the ORM class.
Using it is even simpler!

Weekly Update
So in-keeping with my renewed attempt at being active with my ‘blogging’ here is my weekly update;
I have nearly finished the first part of (what I hope to be) my four part series on ‘Real World Project Management’. I’m basically using it as a chance to ramble about project planning/design strategies that I have been adopting recently, and the advantage I think they offer. I am also going to base the series around the construction of a small wish-list application by way of an example, so keep an eye out for the first draft of that!
