  • On my way to port some more ...

    As I've written on Thursday, I've started porting the custom modules I've written for zerokspot.com in order to move ASAP over to Drupal 5.0 as soon as there is an RC out there. My main motivation behind this is the integration of jQuery into Drupal core, which should make some of the hacks I had to perform quite obsolete :)

    To make this transition possible I also had to one "foreign" modules which are still <= 4.7 only in the Drupal repository. I guess when I'm done with all that, quite a few will have also entered this list. Probably the biggest fish in the pond will be the Akismet module which I'll probably not dare to touch :-) I just hope that Markus finds some time updating it before RC1 hits or at least before Drupal 5.0 final is released :)

  • Comment notification e-mails for guests in Drupal

    Posted on Aug. 22, 2006 at 22:43 +0200 Tagged with , ,

    If you've visited this blog 2 weeks or so before the transition to Drupal, you've probably noticed a neat little WordPress plugin back then that allows guests to subscribe to posts to get new comments via e-mail.

    As far as I know, such a module for some reason was never made for Drupal. This has changed now thanks to Christoph C. Cemper who gave a nice rundown of what he wants and what he's got so far here.

    Let's see how this project evolves and esp. how big the patch for the core comment.module will become, but hopefully not that large to pose a problem for core updates (although I doubt it if only some get a better positioning).

    Thanks D'Arcy Norman for this link :-)

  • zk_monthly_archives

    Posted on Aug. 1, 2006 at 23:25 +0200 Tagged with , , ,

    A few days ago in #drupal c4se noticed a the archive modules I'm using here. Well, and since it's not yet released I was wondering, if it's really worth putting it out into the light of the world. Let's see ...

    zk_monthly_archives is basically a replacement for the archives modules bundled with Drupal. It's actually a much simplified version of it that does 2 things:

    • Provide a block holding a list of all the months published nodes exist in ...
    • and offers for each month a listing off all these nodes.

    Nothing really special but I liked it that way when I first saw something like this quite some time ago on Jon Hick's weblog. Sure, the implementation is a little bit different, simply because I normally have more than 10 posts per month and the page would just get too long if I put a listing of all posts on one single page :)

    This was also my first module I've ever written for Drupal, so please don't kill me for its simplicity and probably also for the sloppy code in it. It gets the job done and that's all I care about. So there's no fancy admin/settings form for it ;)

    If you find any bugs, please comment to this post for now. I think I will sooner or later install the projects module here, but first I want to test it to see if it really does what I want :)
