  • I spent hours today to find this one module: Rules.

    In most cases, you can set up a rule in Drupal with their Actions and Triggers and it will work just fine. The fact is that these options are extremely limited if you want any kind of condition on the Rule before triggering the action.

    The idea is very simple:

    1. Something happens

    2. Check whether it is of interest1

    1. 1. This part is what is missing in Drupal Core v6.x
  • Several times, you may have been creating views and wondered: how the heck could I add a link to my node Edit page, or if you are like me, my node Outline, Track, Convert pages on top of the Edit page.

    This is actually pretty easy.

    To your fields, add a Node: Nid then click the Add button at the bottom.

    In the setup of the field, select Rewrite the output of this field and enter the text of the link as it should appear (i.e. 'Edit' or 'Convert'.)

  • I just switched my websites from one server to another and noticed that on my main company site (http://www.m2osw.com) I would get a # at the end of the URL. Automatically added somehow. Thinking that could be a bad guy I checked the code and could not really see anything.

    Hitting "Back" once, I noticed that the # would be transformed to #atssh-digg. I don't have anything specific about digg on that page except the AddThis button. That adds Digg among some 150 different systems where you can share my pages.

  • Managing your own Drupal Download Site

    The other day, I was thinking, it would be nice if I could find the way to manage my own download site so people who use my modules that I do not provide directly on http://drupal.org would still show as expected (i.e. Green in the update window).

    I found this page about it: http://drupal.org/node/210984

    This is done by creating a service in your Drupal environment. You should use the ready made script named:

  • Since I manage multiple computers and each run a PostgreSQL database system, I can see discrepancies between versions. (i.e. newer versions fix problems in older versions.)

  • 1) CVS

    1.1) Read-only CVS

    The CVS tool uses a URL to connect to a server and retrieve files. If you used the default "cvs co" as defined on a site, then it is more than likely that it will create a read-only set of folders.

    CVS creates a folder named CVS (all in caps, important under Unix!) That folder includes the necessary information for CVS to connect to the repository and read/write data. One of the files defined in this folder is called Root. This is where the URL is saved.

    The CVS URL is composed of several parts:

  • Since December 2008, I have noticed that many RSS feeds include invalid ampersand characters. XML has a very specific way to handle the ampersand character, you have to write & and not just &. Although it is similar in HTML, in XML it is actually enforced.

    This is neat, it ensures that your files are really valid.

  • I use Drupal for most of my sites. I use it in many different ways and it has been working real good for me.

    On one of the sites, I use the ThemeKey module to select a different theme once you are logged in. This means, when I want to switch themes, that one theme selected for logged in users sticks, whether you disable it or not, it remains selected by the system.

    And?

  • 1) Problem

    I had a problem with my CuteMenu1 module and tried many times to fix it but just could not find the problem with Internet Explorer.

    The fact is that I created dropdowns that are supposed to be full width, but that did not work, somehow.

    I wanted each item to have a pre-defined height. So in the style for my DIV I wrote this:

    1. 1. This is a Drupal module. You happen to have Drupal? Download CuteMenu now then!
  • Today I finally solved a problem that was bothering me for a while. A Drupal site I installed for a friend of mine would not accept the Clean URL set. This is when the URL does not need to include the rather ugly ?u=<path>.

    The more I was looking into it and the more it looked like the problem was coming from the Apache installation.
