IMCE CKEditor Style

Attached is a module that styles the IMCE module to match the CKEditor module. This is based on the previous work that Mike the Coder and Danny Joris before him. I made it so that you don't have to modify your theme to get it working, and more specifically, two themes since I'm using admin theme. The only thing you have to do for it to work is to put the "sprites.png" from the CKEditor download into the "images" folder of the module.

My first experience with PressFlow

WOW! PressFlow is amazingly fast. My question is, why would anyone NOT use it? I've got a pretty basic site running now, which should launch too, that's loading in 0.15 seconds. The site, previously running on ColdFusion and a CMS called FarCry averaged load times of 4 to 5 seconds. That means It's gotten about 30 times faster.

In other news, I'm confirmed as a speaker at Drupal Design Camp Boston. It's a free conference. I'll be giving the same presentation I gave at DrupalCon San Fran. http://boston2010.design4drupal.org/sessions/jquery-views-and-view-themeing

Making a case against using your theme for functionality

As I'm teaching some friends the basics of Drupal I see a common mistake, putting too much functionality into the theme. The real problem with this is simple: the site's look and feel may change with or without the site's functionality. If you're using a custom theme, it's tempting to throw functionality right into page.tpl.php and call it a day. But you're setting yourself up for headaches. Trust me, I know from experience.

new RW launched

Launched a new version of Raderwerks last night on top of a Drupal/Ubercart platform. Go get yourself some wheels!

new site done

They're still adding content, so it's kind of bare at the moment, but I just launched a new site for DubAudi. This is a good example of PNG sprites.

Custom Reports with Table Wizard and Ubercart

I've had a few people request custom reports that Ubercart does not have built in. Fortunately, thanks to the Table Wizard module, it's not hard to create them!

Required Modules:

  • Ubercart
  • Table Wizard
  • Views
  • Schema (required by Table Wizard)
  • Views Bonus (for Excel output)
  • Views Calc (to do calculations on views)

Step 1
Install and enable the required modules. If you're not familiar with how to do this, you should probably start with some more basic Drupal tutorials.
