Sample MiaCMS REST Client

This is a quick and dirty example (requires PHP5+) of how one might use the new MOStlyREST RESTful API to create unique and exciting external services and applications for the MiaCMS (and Mambo/Joomla) CMSs. This client simply calls the MiaCMS (or Mambo/Joomla) website defined in the configuration file and retrieves the top 5 ranked articles. It then passes the content of these articles along to the Yahoo! Term Extractor web service which in turn sends back what it feels are the key terms within the article. Once we have the key terms they are sent to the Flickr web service where a tag search is done for photos tagged with our key words. We display these related photos and key words below the original content and use a thickbox effect to show larger versions of the thumbnails (Note: Like we said quick and dirty.. meaning we are not verifying all the image paths so some may not work, but most should.). More information on Brilaps and/or MOStlyREST can be found here.

Article: History Feature Added to Search

Today, I added a "search history box" in the search. So, the users can go back to their previous searches. This feature uses session cookies, therefore, the history will be stored for a bit while even if the browser is closed. Neat ain't it.
