More modules up for new maintainers
Posted by Merlin on Thu Jun 28, 2007 8:48 am.Last time I did this, I successfully got rid of some modules.
Here are modules that I would like to dump completely and never have to think of again:
Panels 2.0 Alpha 5 released
Posted by Merlin on Mon Jun 25, 2007 3:53 pm.I have released Panels 2.0 Alpha 5.
New features:
Flexible layout (can specify rows + columns). The UI for this is crude and hopefully will evolve over time, but this will at least work.
Ability to embed CSS code in the panel-page, which can be handy.
Access control to every pane, to replace the block visibility settings.
Update Status 2.0-beta released!
Posted by Merlin on Wed Jun 20, 2007 4:57 pm.Thanks primarily to the hard work of Derek while I've been somewhat busy with a combination of Panels and my new child, Update Status 2.0-beta is now available for your your consumption. (download)
We've completely revamped it. The UI is dramatically improved; it's simply easier to look at, easier to find what you're looking for, and has almost all of the features we've been asked for (that we've been able to do).
Why Node Queue is an important module
Posted by Merlin on Wed Jun 20, 2007 12:46 pm.A lot of people don't realize how useful Node Queue is as a module; in part because the name doesn't do a very good job of explaining what the module does. For one thing, it almost seems like it duplicates taxonomy, or maybe bookmarks. But it does something none of those modules do: It orders your nodes completely arbitarily.
One other valuable point: Queues have a maximum size. When the queue is 'full', if a new item is added, the the last item in the queue is automatically removed.
What is this good for?
NodeQueue 1.2 released
Posted by Merlin on Wed Jun 20, 2007 10:47 am.Yesterday I released Node Queue 1.2 for both 5.x and 4.7.x -- 4.7 didn't get any new features but it did get a few minor bug fixes. Node Queue 1.2 brings the new javascript features out of beta.
New webserver for Angry Donuts
Posted by Merlin on Mon Jun 18, 2007 11:47 am.I 'upgraded' my webserver (meaning I have a whole new machine and am discarding the ancient pile of metal that is the old webserver) which is running CentOS 5. This means it's PHP5 and MySQL 5 and High5s.
One cautionary note:
When I installed the server, the clock was 8 hours fast. I didn't realize this right away, so I fixed it.
Panels 2 alpha 3 released
Posted by Merlin on Sun Jun 10, 2007 7:04 pm.I released Panels 2 Alpha 3 today. Thanks very much to yoroy again for giving it another makeover. This time, I'm including screenshots.
Making a view into a form
Posted by Merlin on Sat Jun 9, 2007 10:13 am.I get asked a LOT about making a view into a form -- the primary use is to make a bunch of checkboxes with a submit button, but there are many other forms too.
Mark Frederickson has been working for quite some time on a patch to Views to do this, and I think he's been getting pretty close to something. I haven't looked at it much myself because I am completely overwhelmed with Views issues, but I urge people to check this out and help him with his development:
