SoC

As I've already posted, I'm working on nodeprofiles as summer of code project - project page. Now I've some first code you might be interested to test.

I'll try to give you a short overview of the modules I built:

usernode.module - Automatically creation of usernodes
nodefamily.module - Builds nodefamilies based on content types and author information
nodeprofile.module - Marks content types as profiles

check the readme or my site for more detailed information.

Could you also pleas provide links to any external resources related to this project, such as the Project page on drupal.org, and any blog or wiki material that you may have written elsewhere? Thanks!

Hello, all,

A quick update on the gradebook project --

After a substantial amount of preliminary research, the data structure and a rough version of the API were checked into cvs --

As the coding progresses, there will obviously be some tweaks to the data model, and some changes to the API, but, for those of you looking to use Drupal to manage a class this fall, you can throw out the paper gradebooks!

This project is right on schedule, and progressing as planned.

As you may have already noticed, I'm working on a soc project, which is quite related to this topic:
Node Profile Module and CCK

The difference is, that I'll concentrate on using it with the CCK. However, I'll write code as much independend of the CCK as easily possible, so that my work might be with a custom built node type, too.

I've posted an implementation proposal here. Please post your comments and or suggestions - let me know what you think of it.

Finding out, how data is related to another one is easy to be represented as a "Model View Controller".

As an example: If relations between users are build through the buddy.module we know the direct relation between 2 users. What we want to figure out is the "shortest path" between 2 users, who are not buddied.

M: Array of known relations (optionally with weight)
V: Visualisation of the path like shown at http://sna.drupaler.net/?q=de/node/13
C: Dijkstra's algorithm for "Shortest Path"; http://sna.drupaler.net/?q=de/node/10 ; sna.module

If following relations-Model (with weights) exists:

After the jump, here's what I know is happening as of late May 2006. Add a comment and or post your activities related to Unit Testing because i am sure this is not comprehensive:

Robert's graciously given me permission to create a community site for the SoC 2006 participants like he did last year with http://www.planet-soc.com/
