Feeling less

Interesting tiny image that are used to display information

Technically not a drupal link (shoot me !!!) but while browsing I came across an interesting link on url snooping with php here the code - it uses the snoopy class which is only 37 kB

I was browsing the other day and came across a method for making a database backup for drupal, the script and a brief explanation of the steps involved can be seen on the site.

Tying off some loose ends here with some drupal sites, I just keep adding more stuff and never get the project rolling over the line.

I know in in principle how the whole pager routine work for books in general – very general until I sat down early on this evening to finish it all off heres what I came up with after 30 minutes of goggling. I do like the structure of the books data set.

//This is numbers per page
$num_per_page = 5;

//actual query

$query = "SELECT n.nid, n.created FROM {node} n WHERE n.type = 'halloffame' AND n.status = 1 ORDER BY n.created DESC";

Spent the last couple of days doing quite a bit of python of picking up some energy saving tips, though this morning when I got in I came across some interesting code snippets on drupal theming and the new improvements in drupals new theming structure (still in CVS drupal 6 release).

CCK and views

I came across some interesting links this morning concerning drupal that I might consider useful in the future if I ever use them or have need.

What a crazy day I've been tied up for the last hour or so trying to set up a try SSL cert using OpenSSL, note to self when validating the key in openssl the name is the domain name ie www.mydomain.com not you own name silly boy, also have be using some python script but more on that one later.

Post more when I try and figure out how I can automate the whole process in excel

I only just came across the dojo section at drupal.org today. I had seen it before on the listing but thought it was dealing with the dojo javascript framework - I thought to my seld nope not having any of that.
What made me change my mind I was only browsing today an thought I show open my mind to some thing a little different. Dojo seems to be a teaching initative with the aims of trying to spread drupal particular the techniques in mastering it. There seems to be screen casts available but I havent manage to see any of the content that is being generated as yet.
