My First Blog using MacJournal

MacHeist is up to their same tricks and have just released a new bundle. Inside that bundle is a product called MacJournal that has tempted me.

So, I have downloaded a 15 day trial and started to play with it.

Testing Responsibilities for Custom Drupal Intranet Application Websites

Here at the Worx, we often build Drupal websites as intranets. These have on many occasions, become full office automation centers and allow for faster work and better communications. But, they are also VERY custom and require a large degree of testing by the customer as we move towards production.

Utilizing views as a theme layer to a custom query

We had a client requirement that a single view be the combination of:

  1. a random list of attorneys with offices in a given state
  2. a random list of attorneys that are licensed in a given state.

There should be no duplications and all of list 1 must precede list 2. We could not accomplish this with views alone. After talking to Earl, we were able to access the created SQL statement within views. Here we built each of the two queries. Then, we defined a 'pre' exit and replaced the query in our view with a new one.

Hiding Views Output Until User Input

If you've ever used the drupal views module, chances are at some point you've needed to suppress any output until AFTER the user has made a selection from one of your exposed filters.  Views actually DOES make this possible, but it's not exactly self-evident.  I'm going to run you through a quick "howto" on this as I'm sure many people have needed it at some point.

What Install Profiles Mean to Me

Currently there's a pretty in depth discussion surrounding hosting install profiles on drupal.org and what the legal/other implications of such a thing are.  I feel this is an important issue to highlight to the community at large, and since I feel rather strongly about it, I'm using this forum to point it out, and also to focus a bit on my own feelings concerning this.  For those of

Website Upgrade to D6 and Panels

It's about freaking time!  As a professional web development shop, sometimes your website can suffer from the "cobbler's kids" effect, namely you're so busy working on other people's websites, that you haven't taken any time for your own.  I've been working to remedy that for a little while now, but I'm always up for trying something shiney and new, so...

"500" Status: Internal Server Error in apachesolr_cron

We have installed a 'solr' server for the use of our Drupal sites. It has been an interesting experience so far. Many thanks to all who have blazed the trail ahead of us.

I started getting the error

Syncronizing your Mac Address Book with Communigate

So, I got to wondering if I could 'sync' my address book out of my Communigate system with my MacBook Pro.  A little digging and I found that the Address Book application has an import feature. It is able to handle csv, ldif, and vcard.

Very First Drupal Meetup in Oklahoma

Oklahoma's very first Drupal Meeetup is happening tonight!  We have a relatively small Drupal community here, but we are getting together tonight to meet each other, and discuss how we can further the Drupal community in Oklahoma.  We are guessing between 5-10 people will attend at Panera Bread for an informal gathering.

An Exercise in pushing the Envelope - Playing with DRUSH

So, I have been inspired from a recent video to go play with AEgir. I thought I would try it on my laptop, so off to install DAMP.

I must say, I was very impressed with the DAMP install. Simple, straightforward, quick. Oh yea, and it 'Just Works'! Very impressive. I played with the Drupal install for a few minutes and it all seems in order.
