I have been reading with interest the discussions at http://drupal.org/node/337079 and http://groups.drupal.org/node/15965 which both basically deal with the fact that Drupal has versions, and with each version comes a new set of changes both for procedural instructions and code samples, yet the Drupal Documentation can't handle changes in the same way.

So I came up with this idea. Let's continue the process of making a single page in the Handbooks for an idea, such as "Checking Code Out Of CVS", but then use jQuery to toggle hiding for all version-specific info of code snippets or explanations which don't pertain to your current Drupal version.  read more »

It’s about time we had a Drupal Camp here in San Diego. Both Karl Scheirer and I want it, and now that we’ve posted it to the groups.drupal site, a lot of other people are interested too.

Here’s the original posting: http://groups.drupal.org/node/16691

Use that node to keep track of our progress as we work to bring you a full-featured Camp here in the sunny side of California.  read more »

As most of you might know, Ubercart is chock full of AJAX, jQuery, and Special Sauce that both helps users along and also keeps them safe. One of those safety features is a nice little security check function which erases the credit card information on the Checkout Review page (cart/checkout/review) should a user's browser be refreshed. If a refresh occurs, the user gets redirected back to the cart/checkout page and must re-input their credit card information and then re-submit the form in order to get back to the Checkout Review page again.

This, as you might have guessed, is *really* not themer-friendly.  read more »

Yes, the San Diego Drupal User Group meeting is upon us yet again. This month, we’re meeting at Platt College on Wednesday night the 12th of November.

This year at Drupalcon DC, I'll be doing a session on Patch Testing for Drupal 7. It's long been a premise of mine that patch testing is really fun once you get the hang of it, it's just too hard to learn how the Drupalistas want it done!

Fear no more. I'll make it easy for ya. Come see me at my Drupalcon Patch Testing session and I shall outline a process whereby anyone can download a patch file, install it, figure out what it does, and report the results in a meaningful manner.  read more »

I'm going to Drupalcon! Whee!

Recording videos for drupal camps and cons.

I’ve been pleased to be a part of the budding WorkHabit Sessions online video movement, but now that we’ve done video capture for two Drupal camps I have learned a few things that I thought I’d share with the community in case someone else is struggling with the same things we are.  read more »

We had a great time at the S.D. Drupal User Group meetup this month. there were almost 20 people in attendance this time, including Myself, Michael Murdoch, and Harry Slaughter, the latter of whom you would expect to be there because he was the impetus and organizer! I even saw some of the Achieve Internet gang there, including Alex Villeux and Karl Scheirer, my former supervisors. Awesome!  read more »
