Upload Progress

Submitted by gareth on Mon, 05/10/2009 - 01:36

Just a quick entry to mark how I managed to get the upload progress bar working for Imagefield

I had to install make and development tools on my Ubuntu Server.

sudo apt-get install php5-dev make
sudo pecl install uploadprogress

[edit] Any more problems, I have found this, which might also help freestylesystems.co.uk/blog/installng-pecl-uploadprogress-extension-drupal-filefield-module. Hope it helps

Create a live twitter feed aggregator module for Drupal 6 - Part 2

Submitted by gareth on Thu, 13/08/2009 - 22:42

The next file we will look at is the .module (read dot module) file is where we get down to the php. This file contains a number of functions that will do all the work in creating the content we require. Many of the functions we will use are actually hook functions that drupal calls at specific times during page rendering process.

A List of excellent Modules I commonly use.

I suppose not really essential, but at least they are modules that I use regularly and find it hard not to install as they are so good.

How to create a drupal webite

There are plenty of places to go to get really good coverage of how to install drupal, so I won't go into too much detail and if I find that a) people read this and find it useful or b) people ask me to, I'll come back and cover it in more detail.

A new website

Submitted by gareth on Sat, 25/07/2009 - 02:29

This is the first version of my new website. I am going to use this space to show off my abilities as a web developer. The first incarnation will be a drupal site, which I hope to follow it with a Joomla version, a CakePHP eventually a Zend Framework version. I chose to do a drupal one first as I feel it will be the easiest to start working with while being flxible and extensive enough to come close to giving me exactly what I want. Apart from anything else it will help me scope out exactly what I'm looking for in my website.
