Currently I am developing a module for our own issue tracker. Of course our issue tracker is build in Drupal; so it is a Drupal module. The development started, after I tried the Dashboard module in core, and some contrib modules. I will leave those unnamed. Not that there is something wrong with the modules, they all have their audience, but I want to take it a step further.First I must admit: I...

Adding color support to a Drupal theme allows site owners/administrators to modify the theme's color scheme directly from a settings page, rather than having to edit any CSS. I'm currently assessing color integration options for Neptune and have found DesignKit to be a quick, easy, and flexible alternative to direct color module itegration (as used by Garland and Bartik). On the flip side, there...

On Tuesday, June 18, at one o'clock EDT, I will be on a panel for an Ask Me Anything (AMA) on Reddit - http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/ - The topic will be ALS and Assistive Technology. So why should you attend? First, it's only an hour or so, and it'll look better if more than one or two people show up. Besides, it'll be a great opportunity to spend your lunch hour with me.

This tidbit will be about the simple language setup features provided by Language module, which is the base for every other language feature. Language module provides a simple language overview screen. You can reorder existing languages, remove languages (except the...

While working on a project for a customer we had the requirement to display different parts of an exposed form of a view in different regions of the page. Additionally not all parts of the form should be visible on all pages of the site (i.e. the search box should be visible on all pages whereas other exposed filters or sort options should be visible on the result pate only). Normally we would...

In most of the cases, there are several developers working at the same project, each of the have its own manner of writing the code, but anyway at the end, the code must be simple, testable and reliable. This article describes how to reduce the visual complexity of the code with return value early in “if” statements, which can lead to a higher code quality. Usually we write code with many “if”...

An itch to scratch For a while, I've wanted to contribute a module back to the Drupal community and actively maintain it. I can't exactly tell you why I wanted to do this but it's been a burning desire. I know there are a lot of projects that have been abandoned and can use some help (Nodereview being one that I'm still trying to keep up with) but I wanted to be in the driver's seat and...
