Adding Additional Them Features to Drupal Themes

Posted Mon, 02/15/2010 - 9:30am by shrop

I have some Drupal 6 themes which utilize images that need to be uploaded by the users to the sites files folder while maintaining one copy of the theme for a multisite install. It turns out to be simpler that I original expected.

I followed the instructions at http://drupal.org/node/177868 and it worked out quite well. I was able to modify some of the code further down on the same page in a comment to setup file uploads. See that code example here: http://drupal.org/node/177868#comment-1445178.

See some example results below:

Posted Sun, 08/24/2008 - 7:21pm by shrop

Church Relevance has release its picks for the 90 top church web sites. The blog post below explains that they are based on design, usability and innovative ideas. That still sounds very subjective to me, but once you look at some of the sites in the list, there is no denying that we can all learn a good deal from these web site designs.

Excellent Lullabot Drupal Podcast!

I have been a huge fan of the Lullabot podcast series at http://www.lullabot.com/audiocast/. I think that Epoisode 62 is one of the best podcasts the Lullabot crew has produced.

Views1 method to create a blog type category listing block

Posted Tue, 08/05/2008 - 7:19am by shrop

Druplicon Even though Views1 for Drupal 5 may not be as hip today, I have been wanting to share this bit of code to allow the creation of blog type category listing from taxonomy. I haven't tested if this works with views2 and kind of doubt it will since Views2 seems to be a complete rewrite.

The results of this View can be seen in the right sidebar of my wife's blog at http://lisa.shropshires.net.

I have used MAMP for a long time, but I recently decided to build a development environment on my MacBook Pro to mirror my test and production servers. MAMP uses Apache 2.0 and I really wanted to run Apache 2.2. I also needed custom PHP for use with Oracle databases. I just want

ed to share the documentation to setup my development environment. Feel free to comment and let me know if you have any improvements.

Mac OSX Subversion Client: Cornerstone

Posted Tue, 07/08/2008 - 8:11am by shrop

Cornerstone is a Mac OS X SVN client. I can tell you that this app is awesome!

The interface takes a number of UI cues from iTunes by using one window. The one window interface is much more efficient on a laptop. You do have the option in preferences to switch to a multi window mode.
