日心说

September 25th, 2009 No comments

日心说在自然科学上的意义毋庸置疑。但我以为,日心说最重大的意义不是颠覆了地心,而是颠覆了人类的“自我中心”。大智大慧而认清自己是芸芸众生中平常一体者古已有之,但日心说是我所了解的最早将这种思想推及大众的。在很长的历史时期中,人类通常只能通过自身感官直接认识世界,由此而得出的的认识理当是以自我为中心。因此古人会有比较多的对个体,家族,民族的神圣感,比如很多民族都有受神特别眷顾的传说。自日心说而后,人类不得不逐渐正视一个不那么神圣的自身。我们发现原来宇宙不是围绕我们来运行──是我们自作多情了。

承认自己的生命没有神圣的成分是很困难的,这导致意义的缺失──我们不是神最钟爱的,我们是普遍一般的,那么我们生命的意义是什么?日心说是一个发端,而后来的进化论更加强了这种质疑。不管怎样,我们已经吃下了那颗智慧果,是更长远的眼光给我们带来了迷茫。

贵国人古时即自称为国中之国,这种狭隘的自我为中心的认识也许可归结于地理因素。(也猜想所有民族之精神文化等“上层建筑”归根结底源自于其发端的环境)后世各朝代多以己为天朝大国,而四方皆为蛮夷。直到当代,主流媒体仍然热衷于鼓吹本民族的特殊性。“中华民族”,“悠久历史”,“屹立民族之林”只说,固然有当权者维护政权的宣传需要,其实质仍然是民众对此十分受用。世上本没有“龙”,“传人”以何自命不凡呢?究其原因,还是“地心说”,“我心说”吧。

JDoc Tag of Type “module”

September 12th, 2009 No comments

There are only a few words about jdoc tag of type “module” In Joomla! online docs. The docs shows attributes such as name, style, id by code snippet without any description on that. So I was confused when I tried this tag in my template. The problem is, as the name attribute refers to the module type, how can I specify the module instance I want? I searched google for many articles and got a anwser that when there are more than one modules of the type, the first one in order will be taken by Joomla!. Yes, that’s silly. At last I fount a related tracker item in JoomlaCode on which the author impied that’s a defect of Joomla! docs. There’s an attribute named “title” refering to the instance title actually.

As a newbie of Joomla! framework, I feel Joomla! docs are not friendly enough for a newer. Some of contents are out of date, while some features are not even mentioned in docs. For example, by common sense I guess I can pass parameters to module instance in my template, but I can’t find it in docs, either in sample templates. Just like what I did in recent days with Joomla!, I dug into the framework code to see what happend on the tag. The anwser is Joomla! sets a variable named “attribs” in the scope of the module which contains attributes in the tag in the form of name-value pairs. Well, Joomla! code is much more friendly to read then docs, although there are few inline comments…

Documents and community are really very important for an open source project.
