  • Wikis in Drupal 6 - Module Review   21 weeks 3 days ago

    Hi,

    just to let everyone know I have developed a new wiki module for Drupal based on PMWiki. See Drupal Wiki Module for details

    Hey Tao! How funny... I was just Googling for this same information (I can never remember the arg) and happy to find you here. Hope the new gig is going well.

    Best,

  • NetBeans 6.5 vs PDT for Drupal Development   31 weeks 2 days ago

    Saw your "Notes from BADCamp Eclipse Installfest" post, and wondered if you've been back recently to explore and re-evaluate the latest NetBeans release. I'd be very curious to hear an updated review, and I bet others would too.

  • Feel the Drush   32 weeks 3 days ago

    Thanks for the post. I'd really like to get Drush working on Windows and have followed your steps, but get the following error when trying to run drush commands:
    'PHP.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

    I use Wampserver2.0. Do you think that maybe the issue?

    In the meantime there is a professional Drupal Wiki implementation available. It is based on Drupal 6.14 (unhacked) with some general plugins and a lot new (not yet released) ones. That wiki is aimed to compete in the enterprise wiki market, not only in the "mediawiki / dokuwiki" secotr.

  • Popups API Modules in Action   38 weeks 3 days ago

    I was looking for something exactly like this, and the video was great.

    When I implemented a test, I get the 'Add New' as seen in the video, and it seems to work fine. However, if I click on a further 'Add New' within the popup itself, then it complains that pop-up chaining is not supported (yet).

    Is chaining only in the alpha version, or is there some other configuration or restriction that I'm not respecting? Has anyone got chaining working using the 6.x-1.0 version of this module?

    Is the 'alpha' version as ready for production as the regular version? In my case the general public is not entering data, so it doesn't have to be absolutely bulletproof.. they would rather have the chaining because it helps the workflow so much.

    Thanks for a great module - and any pointers from anyone appreciated?

  • Example from Intro to Module Development Presentation   41 weeks 6 days ago

    Thanks for this - I've been trying to figure this out for a while. However, I really want to limit the buttons on the top of the form to the node preview screen. In that way a user would be forced to preview the first node submission and then below the node preview they would be presented with a submit button so they don't have to scroll through the form again. If you could recommend something I'd really appreciate it.

    The article is almost a year old. The situation is likely to have changed a lot by now.

    Thanks, I have fixed the link.

    I am using mollum instead of recaptcha (although the good deeds bit does motivate). Hope this comment doesn't get flagged as spam like my previous one ;)

  • Quick WYSIWYG with Image uploading recipe   46 weeks 1 day ago

    I've been intrigued by Filefield Insert, but I don't really like to use modules without an official release. Especially ones that you need to patch by hand. Have you been using it in production?

  • Quick WYSIWYG with Image uploading recipe   46 weeks 1 day ago

    I might be missing the complexities of your situation, but what you describe sounds like a typical use case.

  • Quick WYSIWYG with Image uploading recipe   46 weeks 1 day ago

    That is a good point. The particular site I am building right now doesn't allow input from untrusted sources, but I will add a warning in the original article.

  • Quick WYSIWYG with Image uploading recipe   46 weeks 2 days ago

    I wouldn't enable img tags for the default input format. If you do you'll be inundated by spambots posting images in comments, or the less visible tracker 1px images.

  • Quick WYSIWYG with Image uploading recipe   46 weeks 2 days ago

    The wysiwyg API requires a little more setup, but it also saves a lot hassle having to remove the editor where it doesn't belong (like the block visibility settings).

    IMCE is the least bad solution when you need to have a library of images, but if sharing images between different pieces of content is not a requirement I would definitely try Filefield Insert as an alternative.

    Hi Tao,
    Nice blog!
    I'm looking to do some "documentation" in Drupal so I need to combine all kind of images and text that are open in other documents, or just copied from the web.
    Does your solution apply to that? Do you know if anything like that CAN be done in Drupal 6?
    Thanks

  • Popups API Modules in Action   47 weeks 1 day ago

    Hi,

    I have succeeded to display the links inline with the input field by modiying the module and the theme template.php. I have posted the method here: http://www.psykocybernetik.com/blog/content/drupal-inline-popups-reference-field

    Don't hesitate to let me know if there is a better way of doing it.

    Cheers,

    Hi,

    First of all, thank you for your great module! I am currently using it and am very pleased but I am facing a challenge while trying to theme a CCK input form in which there are some "Add New" links.
    For the moment, the "Add New" link is in a div (without class) situated under the CCK input field. I would like to be able to put the "Add new" link next to the input field.
    I have tried to play around theming CCK form but I have trouble as I am using the drupal_render function that create the label/input field/description divs and then your module is adding the link as a suffix.
    Has someone succeeded in displaying the "Add New" link inline with the input field?

    If what I am trying to describe is not clear with words, I can post some pictures.

    Thank you for your help.

  • Drupal and Spam 2.0 Presentation   48 weeks 3 days ago

    Thanks. I have updated the Mollom slide.
    Yeah, I don't really have a conclusion yet. I haven't really been satisfied with anything I have tried yet. I would like more flexible workflow and reporting options. And better ways to test. If I had some free cycles, I think it would be fun to help out with the Spam module, but it has been driving me crazy lately with false positives.
    I will be replacing the current image captcha with reCaptcha when I get a chance.

    Hi Tao

    Thanks for putting up the slides, and shedding light on this important topic.

  • Drupal and Spam 2.0 Presentation   49 weeks 4 hours ago

    Please note that it's Mollom, not Mollum. I think one of the greatest additions about Mollom is that it's constantly being improved. You mention server issues and a generic "not working too well" as critique and luckily there's an update and planned improvements. Compared to Captcha for instance, this is a huge plus.

    I don't see a "conclusion" slide in your presentation. Do you have a preferred spam protection module or method? I see you're using CAPTCHA on this site but from your presentation that didn't seem like the best option.
