modules

Hi everyone... I have a question about patch etiquette and I figured I'd start by asking you guys first...

If somebody creates a patch for a module, and I'd like to add some functionality to the functionality added by that patch, what is the best approach? Should I create a patch that requires you apply the other patch before applying mine, or should I build a patch that includes all the changes and submit it to the same issue? Or something else? I'm sure there's some sort of proper way to go about this, I just don't know what it is.

Thanks!

We built a pretty simple Drupal site for a client and we're going back to add in some additional features. Something they'd like to do is have member-specific content upon login. (Example: John Smith logs in and sees text directed only to him or his company). The content will probably just be a page.

We can do this with content types/roles/permissions but our client wants to be able to manage this themselves. I'm afraid that's going to be too advanced/confusing for them.

I did it. A huge milestone in my Drupal development life. I completed my first custom module. While at this point it would only work on my site (I hard coded the name of content types and some other variables from the notification module) but it works. I have attached it but know that you can’t just add it to your site. At minimum you might have to change the name of the feed-item content type on line 85.

This is the Imagecache Actions module which I mentioned in tonight's meeting. A couple of you seemed pretty interested. I've never used it, but it looks sweet.

Hey guys,

I found this very interesting page for integrating the color module into your theme. http://drupal.org/node/108459
Has anyone tried this yet? I haven't had a chance to, but I can't wait to see what I can do with it. As soon as I can, I'll post it here. Just curious if anyone else is into this or not.
