Using Teamspeak to Teach a Lesson
Last updated by crashtest_ on Thu, 2008-05-22 15:38
Introduction
Here are the basics you need to use TeamSpeak for teachers. You don't need TeamSpeak at all if you are just listening to a lesson. Note: I wrote these up using the TeamSpeex Mac client so I don't know if there are differences in the other clients. If so, this is a wiki, so please add them.
Connecting via a URL
Paste this address into your Firefox or IE address bar and hopefully it will ask to launch the TeamSpeak client: teamspeak://webavant.com:8768
Read moreUtilizing active select module
So I don't know much js nor jquery. And I don't wanna mess around with it either. Luckily (for my select forms) we have a module named active select.
Active select provides an api that for ajaxfied forms (see api.txt in the module).
I have been looking into making use of active select in my module. Learn more about it here.
And to understand it better, I tried the example code provided in api.txt. But my page turns all white on me(WoD). Buuu (there was a problem with the function module_exist() which should be module_exists())

Assuming you've read the article on How To Join A Live Dojo Lesson and you have participated in at least three live dojo sessions, you might be ready to step into a moderator capacity and become a Dojo Skyperator. Do you have a desire to lead? Can you moderate a conference call? Are you good at re-phrasing questions about Drupal? Take the following test and see...

Clean up some code - Video on Coder module
Code Cleanup with Coder module: This is a 9 minute video that shows me doing a little code cleanup on pathauto module using the cool Coder module. This is a great tool for pointing out secure text and coding standards issues in your code. This is also an easy way to get involved with rolling patches for modules that you use.
Read moreOMG, another vid - Checkout Drupal HEAD from CVS
OK, starting to feel like I'm spamming everyone. This is a really short, 6 minute, video that shows you how to use command line to checkout a copy of Drupal's HEAD version to your localhost. Assumes you have a local webserver set up and db created already.
Read moreNew Video - Applying Patches to Drupal Core
Hey folks, I've got another video out, Applying Patches to Drupal Core - there is .mp4 and .mov and a torrent for the .mp4. This one is just as quick and dirty as the last one - it is 12 minutes. It shows you how to use the command line to apply, test and reverse patches for Drupal core. This is a great way to be part of core development even if you know nothing about code. The developers are writing the patches but they need many eyes to test them and see if they really work in a wide variety of use cases.
Read moreProducing and attending a live Drupal Dojo session
Here's a wiki page for writing up "how to" participate in the various roles we outlined this evening at the BoF session. It's a wiki so EDIT ME, PLEASE! I also enabled comments though if you're into that kind of thing.
(Note: this is just an outline, but hopefully is a start.)
Read moreDojo HowTo -- Rolling Patches (video tute)
Hey all, I created a little video on how to roll patches the other night when I had an easy patch to do. It is not the best quality since I didn't really plan it out ahead of time but folks new to patching may find it helpful. I also wanted to show you don't have to be patching "code" but that you can also do patches for documentation. It has been added to the Patches section of the Handbook since you really should read the patch documentation and not just watch the vid. ;)
Read moreHow To Host a VNC Session (Dojo Style)
This page documents how to host a VNC session as a teacher. For instructions on joining a session as a student are here. Regardless of your platform, you will need a VNC application and a broadband connection to teach. We use a VNC reflector though, so don't worry about your home internet being swamped by viewers: you just need to make a single connection to the lesson server and everyone else will view through there.
Platform-specific instructions after the jump.

If you are new to CVS and Drupal, and if you prefer to use command line/bash(as me) instead of GUI based CVS programs. Then this guide is for you! For windows users, download greggles great lesson on CVS.
This guide is really quick & dirty. But I like it this way. So I hope you will as well:)
There are basically 5 stages:
- Download drupal HEAD
- Edit file
- Test your patch on your local webserver
- Create a patch
