I work for a small department in a large university, in a technical support capacity. One of my major responsibilities is managing several hundred computers, and all the related equipment, phones, rooms, and tools. I also manage the department web sites, which I'm migrating to Drupal 6. While designing a support sub-site, I realized that most of my site structure and function was quite common, and thus should have some good modules developed for it.

Hi Everyone,

I'll be teaching the Drupal class at Madison Area Technical College again this Spring, the main theme being module development with PHP. The prereqs are some background with HTML and CSS and a little PHP (or willingness to learn it quickly).

What:   Drupal class
Where:  Madison Area Technical College, Truax campus
When:   Tues-Thurs, 5:30 pm - 6:20 pm
Starts: January 13, 2009
Ends:   May 14, 2009
Cost:   $329.25

I've recently committed a project that provides an input filter that is inlining node titles, field values and taxonomy terms by ID.*

To utilize this the module has to provide buttons for editors that uses the filter tags and there the WYSIWYG API comes in mind. To provide those editor buttons (list of certain nodes/fields/terms) I return the data of a db query (for details see link) (1) and the output is forwarded to different buttons (autocomplete field, select list etc.) (2) and then sent to the editor by an additional function (3) because each editor uses a different "button format".

Is it possible to do step 3 with (a planned version of) WYSIWYG API, so the raw data of the db query or better the themed button containing that data can be submitted to WYSIWYG which then initialize this button for every editor supported? Currently I have to write an extra button for each editor and provide it by self written submodules.

Another great meetup, we had 15 attendees and spent 4 hours talking all things Drupal. This was a 4-hour meetup, covering multiple topics. We had some new faces and covered quite a few topics.

Check out everything we covered after the jump...

Hi all,

Wondering if someone could take a look at the below function and provide feedback/critic.
My site allows guests to post forum questions. Spam is becoming a problem although I have the CAPTCHA module installed. What I’m trying to do is prevent guests from posting links to their questions (forum nodes). To do that, I’m developing a very simple custom module with the below function that Implements the hook_nodeapi().

<?php

function noguestlinks_nodeapi (&$node, $op, $a3 = NULL, $a4 = NULL) {

global $user;
switch ($op) {
case "validate": 

I would like to raise a discussion about the prospect of the Drupal community using a system that allows collective design, funding and development of any Drupal project.

Think about it this way: if the Knight Drupal Initative is the Google summer of code for Drupal, what I'm proposing is a Google year of code for Drupal, only there is no single entity such as Google or DKI funding projects, the funds come from community. My partner and I have already implemented a solution that makes that possible (www.fossfactory.org). I would like to hear from you about how suitable this model is for the Drupal community at large.

Hi Everyone,

I'll be teaching a 17-week Drupal class at MATC this Fall, first time through, the main theme being module development with PHP. The prereqs are some background with html and css and a little php (or willingness to learn it quickly).

Hi all,

I have been using Drupal for about 6 months on my own site and now having a real desire to learn how to code in Drupal. I'm an application developer in real life, but never had to use PHP.

I'm wondering if anyone would like to walk down this path with me. I thought it would be more fun to do this as a team rather than by myself.
We can discuss details like when and how often we are going to meet if there is enough interest in such a "learning" group.

Please reply to this post if you are interested, and feel free to post any ideas you may have.

Thanks!

For anyone not on the Development list serve, there is a great discussion going on about module duplication, "scratch your itch" versus "control the chaos" approaches.

Less than 24 hours in, there are 30 posts. Really thoughtful stuff.
