How To: Generate Random URL

(Reposting...last post was deleted)

For certain content on a site, I want to implement "security by obscurity" by having the posts show up only in restricted views and by making the URLs for those posts a set of random, unguessable characters (like Microsoft does with GUID).

So, I need guidance in two parts:

  1. What module (presumably CCK-related) or trick will create a set of random, unguessable characters that I can then use as replacement token in pathauto?

New Drupal Book : Drupal 6 Site Blueprints

<

blockquote>Bad news is always good news for the press. And so Vaughan Pyre has decided to take advantage of this and create a web site that will aggregate bad news and weird happenings from all over the world. The content of the site will be entirely derived from RSS feeds from several sources; each feed being automatically fetched and its items displayed as individual articles on the web site. Vaughan's intention is to create a lot of self-updating web sites which he intends to populate with Google ads for site users to click and click so that he can make a lot of money.

What is the market price for drupal work?

Original Post: http://drupal.org/node/536998

You ought to look at the discussion over there before working with these numbers. The rate you'll need to pay for Drupal work depends entirely on your project.

The answer to this question is that it depends:

Off-shore rate: $15-$20/hr

Freelancer Rate in North America: $30-$60 -- Cheaper rate more experience, but only enough bandwidth for one project at a time. Not capable of being responsive when working on another client project.

High-end Freelancer rate $80-$100

How to convert posts from Blog Module to "Blog" Custom Content Type?

I've heard on several occasions, including responses to my last post on How to Segment Blog Personas, the recommendation to NOT use the core blog module, but instead to use CCK and Views to replicate the blog module functionality. This makes perfect sense, and I'm doing that going forward.

But what about a site that already has a bunch of blog posts using the core blog module? Has anyone successfully converted a bunch of existing blog posts from the Blog module to custom content types? Can anyone share step-by-step instructions?

How to Segment Blog Personas

I want to maintain at least two different personas on my Drupal-based blog: (1) Professional (2) Personal. Naturally, each would have its own set of blog entries that generally would not intersect, although they might sometimes.

My question is: What is the best way to organize and display each of these personas as its own blog, and still be able to show them together in one blog stream when I want to?

Spotify opens up to developers

hi guys,

This is just a quick "heads up" post. If you're not familiar with spotify, I recommend you try it out, if it's available where you are. It's probably the cleverest and slickest music app I've seen online since liquid audio (which became itunes music store).

Anyway..the heads up is that they've opened up to developers with a libspotify (C API package).

The following is from the spotify site:

Gauging interest in a Recurring Billing and Subscription Management Module for Drupal

Howdy:

We're gauging interest in the need for a module to manage recurring billing and paid subscriptions within Drupal.

The Problem:

Our experience is that a simple solution is sorely needed for Drupal. Particularly for paid roles.

Solutions for this exist with AMember, CiviCRM, UberCart and eCommerce (not for 6.0 for eCommerce). But there are problems inherent with each solution.

HOWTO: Check Domain Availability in Drupal Site

Does anyone know how to embed a widget (or is there a Drupal Module) that will enable users to check for availability of domains?

I'm building a Drupal-based site on which users will request a new domain for their Drupal-based site. I'd like to determine availability of domains right from within my site, rather than sending them to a domain registrar.
