I’ve dived into Drupal’s entity forms project recently to build a series of forms, some of which re-use the same fields. In the past, I’ve used Webforms which allows you to build a form quickly but not reuse the actual fields. I found that it also has issues with the integration in that it appears […]
Recently I have been looking at ways of highlighting certain feelings of information in SugarCRM. I use the community edition at work and have been working on a few modifications. A recent task has been looking at highlighting some fields to a user if a certain field is activated, or showing a message to the […]
I’ve been looking at integrating a variety of different data sources in a Drupal project for various reasons but generally from the perspective of pulling data from existing sources. These do not necessarily go into the same system and equally, only parts may be required for by differing systems. In a way, I am trying […]
Steven Jones from Computerminds came to the Drupalcamp session at Cambridge Drupalcamp where we were learning how to run a camp, where we also discussed the potential need / use of a UK Drupal Association. We did discuss this on various forae (drupal.org.uk has the latest set of posts) but I am afraid I lost […]
Back in the mists of time (something like the week before the London Drupalcon), a few people were having conversations which went along the line of “why don’t we have a Drupalcamp in Oxford?”. These were good conversations but were being repeated in a few places. I hoped to put the conversations together and watch. […]
I have been working on a project which has gone slightly wrong for a variety of reasons. Most of which I am not going to go into here. However one of them was a lack of testing. Not full system testing but the less glamorous and more (let’s be honest) tedious unit testing. I have […]
New project, new thoughts. We have been discussing the ways of displaying material to the end user in Drupal 7. The options that we had were Panels and Display Suite. I’ve just been playing with Display Suite which I have heard really good things about but never got around to using. Ivan Zugec’s tutorial (part […]
I went down to the London Realtime event event today. In part, it was to learn more about realtime programming and partially because RabbitMQ were going to be there and it would be a good chance to talk to somebody about the message queueing (MQ). I did manage to bend somebody’s ear (sorry if I […]
I’ve been playing around with TokBox and the Drupal plugin (7 only) for a project to see where it can go. TokBox is a video API which can be used to set up video sessions, say to publish only like a lecture, or to have a conversation and to link people together. Reading the University […]
It has been a slightly quiet week but one in which I have been working on the quieter parts of development – testing and documentation. I was helping out some colleagues by testing some existing code this week. not because I do not have any thing to do but because they are woking on something […]
