Drupal Print Module Validation Issue

Shawn — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 01:17:05 +0000

I Ran across a minor validation issue with the Printer, e-mail and PDF (version 6.x-1.10) Drupal Module. Is it a huge deal? No. Am I picky about my valid XHTMLz? When I can be.

The issue queue had this to say which has a nice patch.

wget http://drupal.org/files/issues/print.module_8.patch

the patch to the print module directory and

# patch < print.module_8.patch

the hell out of it.

WP Updated, New Theme, Confusion

Shawn — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 13:42:27 +0000

How do I get items in the Featured Posts carousel? No README.TXT file in the theme, no OBVIOUS theme settings, no wonder I don’t use WP!

Developers like README and INSTALL and CHANGELOG and other *.txt files that tell them what the original developer was thinking. My new theme has none of such files and it kinda drives me crazy. I’m going to tag this post as ‘featured’ and see what happens. Then, I’ll probably hack the files since WP is gracious enough to allow anyone to write PHP in the admin.

I’m on a boat.

Hotspots.php Google Map Script

Shawn — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 01:56:24 +0000

A visitor to the site had requested the Fishing Hotspots Script that I wrote several years ago. I figured it can’t hurt to give it away since the code is pretty bad and all.

I decided to throw this script on the site as a download for all to enjoy. It was one of my first attempts at some sort of Web 2.0 fishing map using Google Maps. I was big into mashups back then which lead me to create this beast!

The script hasn’t been tested after I stripped out all my database info and Google Maps key and anything else that would give away my deepest darkest secrets. So, you get what will appear like a work in progress or a PHP 101 final project. There are a few scripts included that I didn’t write, so thanks to them for those.

If you care to comment, or have any questions, feel free to post such comments/questions and I will try to respond in a reasonable fashion (time-wise, not fashion-wise).

So here it is in all of it’s “Web 1.0 in a Web 2.0 World” glory:

Enjoy!

Let it be known, I can’t wait for Secrets of the JavaScript Ninja to be released. Written by JavaScript Sage John Resig author of my all time favorite JavaScript Library jQuery, this book is sure to be phenomenal!

Animated Progress Meter using jQuery

Shawn — Sun, 13 Apr 2008 18:30:48 +0000

Need an animated progress meter for an application? This particular example is set up to accept a percentage of completion and a couple other numbers you can set. It’s super easy to use and implement, the best part, ONE line of javascript (including the 30KB that is jQuery(packed)).

View the animated jQuery progress bar in action.
