Documentopia is pleased that we are now an authorized seller for Mailstore. Our experience with this product has been great. It is absolutely what most small businesses need to tackle the tangle of email that so many have.
It solves so many problems: “searchability”, Retention, Backups, Knowledge capture of former employees – the list goes on and on.
PST folders are not a reliable solution – this is.
Why is Documentopia in the hosting business? Clearly not to make money.
Documentopia provides hosting to save both the client and us time and money. Hosts are not all created alike. They range the gambit from great to very bad.
Old versions of PHP are a primary problem, but another problem is hosts that themselves outsource their database servers. Often you will find there is a slow or flakey link to those servers. Often they are not even located in the same Datacenter.
A Robust Database Connection is vital to today’s web applications.
Other benefits of providing your own hosting platform is a uniform development and production environment. The Documentopia (DT) hosting server is a mirror image of the DT development server so you do not have to revalidate an application constantly.
The final benefit is continuous error monitoring. We have created a system that monitors all our websites for errors and reports back to us on a regular basis.
All this save us and you time and money.
I have 16 years in the UNIX business and I know UNIX hosting.
Since I have a little extra time on my hands I went ahead and updated this library from 1.7.0 to 1.7.1 and got DBForge working.
My hope here is to use this on smaller projects that don’t require a frame-work – like one project I did for a local Insurance Broker.
The idea here is I can use basic Models that are transferable to CodeIgniter with minimal modification.
This should give a nice migration from no frame to CodeIgniter. Sometimes a client has what starts out as a simple project but grows into something that would better be done in a frame work. This way migration is easier because you already have your models setup. This is the theory anyway.

I have updated for my own purposes the ActiveRecord library from CI 1.7.0 so you can use it in a standalone mode
The original version was downloaded from http://hasin.wordpress.com/
You can download it at http://www.documentopia.com/downloads/
I had to remove a few things so test it out before you use it, my testing only extended to selects, inserts and truncating tables. It really needs some error handling added in if you are doing anything but dead simple queries.
