This software was made possible thanks to the efforts of many individuals
who share the results of their labor. Reinventing the wheel is absurd. Here are a few
wheels I didn't have to reinvent, thanks to the generosity of many many
people, these in particular.

| Monty Ohrt |
Smarty Templating Package |
Templating saves your sanity. Smarty is the best thing to happen to PHP for the web period. Thank you so much.
|
| Monty Ohrt |
GoogleMapAPI |
I found this API while researching a gig for someone else. It makes integration of googlemaps with PHP a snap. Monty is awesome.

| Matt Malenski |
Calendar Class |
With a little bit of tweaking and a few suggestions from the author I had this calendar integrated into TixRUs in a few hours. Thanks Matt!
|
| Tigra Calendar |
Free Version of Popup Calendar |
The cute little calendar popup you see to set dates and times
|
| GCXN |
Interlock Menu Initial |
I developed the prototype of the interlock menu used on this site while employed at GCXN. Thanks Ron & Kurt!
|
| Stuart Langridge and others |
Nice Titles |
This package is responsible for those large print info that pop up while mousing over the ticket selector panel
|
| Jared White & J. Max Wilson |
Xajax |
Ajax is what makes it possible for things to refresh on a page without a complete page refresh. And Xajax is the glue that makes it feasible.... it handles all the tedious grunt work.
|
| Tom Anderson |
Smarty Framework |
I have used an adaptation of this framework for all my Smarty sites. This framework makes Smarty so much easier to use!
|
| Kennet Svanberg |
Regexp clientside validation |
Validating input before sending it is so much nicer than waiting for the server to boot you.
|
| Unknown |
Address Server |
This online service enables us to look up your zip+4 and print a bar coded envelope for your tickets.

| Dianne Roth |
DianneRoth.com |
Dianne Roth was a critical tester of this system. I can't begin to thank Dianne enough for pointing out the glitches that you'll never see because SHE made me get rid of them.

| Twin Helix Designs |
Popup Menus |
Thanks to Angus Turnbull from New Zealand for these very flexible popup menus. Soooo much cooler than the ones I ripped off the old peak internet three years ago.
|
| David Shuford AKA Kravvitz |
dynamic site solutions |
Kravvitz knows everything there is to know about CSS and the DOM. He has been the only person on the CSS and JavaScript forums of DevShed who answers my questions in a way I can use. He also looks at your code and tirelessly promotes validators. When browser incompatibilities and bugs make me crazy, Kravvitz comes up with a solution or a work-around. Thanks!!

libical |
Nice little Icalendaring class I didn'nt have to write.
|
| Colin Verot |
Upload Class |
Uploads are twiddly and there is lots of management and checking associated with them. It is nice to just have a bunch of methods already written that do it. Thanks Colin.

| Andreas Gohr |
stitchwave function |
Andreas delved into the internal format of wav files so we can glue a string of them together on the fly. We use this to make audio captchas for the visually challenged.
|
| John Hood-Fysh |
Documentation |
Not only is John responsible for the awesome manuals, but along the way he did a lot of troubleshooting above and beyond his contractual obligations and made dozens of suggestions for incremental improvements of the user experience. It pays to do business locally in so many ways.
|
| Jonathon Schemoul |
Smooth Slide Show |
This is where you get the package we used to make the slideshow on our home page.
|
| Sam Stephenson |
prototype.js |
I started loading prototype.js because of script.acu.lous. But once I found out what it is I flogged myself for not getting it a year ago. Being able to do away with all those getElementById's alone is worth the overhead. Thank you Sam.
