MO Auto add terms for Drupal

Alexis Wilke — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 05:03:32 +0000

MO Auto add terms is a PHP module for Drupal 6.x.

It is particularly useful for maintaining small and large taxonomies with a small or large number of nodes. Especially taxonomies used as site indexes or glossaries.

This module automatically handles the addition (and optionally removal) of taxonomy terms to a node. It does it at the time the node is saved and when the background process runs (i.e. CRON.)

Menu Settings

Theme

Select a theme to display your Simplemenu items and dropdowns. The default is called original.

The themes reside in the module sub-folder named themes. Each theme is defined in a specific directory named after the theme. That name is what appears in the dropdown in the settings.

It is possible to add new themes as

Simplemenu Upgrade Path

Alexis Wilke — Sat, 11 Jun 2011 20:23:51 +0000

Version 7.x

Version 7.x-1.x-dev is a starting point... It is not complete, although it shows you a functional Management menu as a dropdown. More to come as time allows... See issue [#791664] for more info.

Version 6.x

Version 6.x-1.13 fixes the vertical menu problem which had to do with CSS caching getting lost.

Version 6.x-1.10 to 6.x-1.12 fixes the non-called theme() function versus the other sub-modules that have callbacks through the theme() calls. However, we really need to have callbacks instead. Added horizontal and vertical themes. Attempts to fix to the vertical menu problem

Upgrade to PHP 5.3.3 or older because of security issue

Alexis Wilke — Fri, 10 Jun 2011 00:26:19 +0000

If you are responsible for a Debian or Ubuntu server and run PHP on it, make sure to run the following command to fix several security issues found in PHP:

sudo apt-get install php5-suhosin

This will make the necessary and your PHP version (security wise) will look like you have PHP 5.3.3.

What I found quite annoying in regard to this issue is the fact that it was very difficult to find a mention of this upgrade. All I could find in large number were people saying that you'd have to get an upgrade using the source code of PHP. Somehow, I did not feel like upgrading PHP from source!

MobileKey Known Issues

Alexis Wilke — Mon, 16 May 2011 20:07:42 +0000

Cached Pages

The Boost module can be used to cache pages on your website. Unfortunately, if a page is cached, it is served without accessing Drupal. This means, the redirection offered by the MobileKey doesn't take effect on pages cached by Boost or similar modules.

Also if you have a form of proxy cache (a cache before Apache2,) then the redirection will probably be prevented by that cache early on.

Protected Node Password Fork Feature

Password Fork

The new module allows for a password fork.

This means you can send your users to one specific page, and tell them about a password to use on that one page. Depending on the password, they will be sent to one of several nodes.

This works in a very similar way as the other password form, except that there is no specific destination, and the users need to know any one of the passwords.

The feature uses a specific URL defined as follow:

/protected-nodes?protected_pages=<nid1>,<nid2>,...&back=<url>

protected_pages=<nid1>,<nid2>,...

Drupal Aggregator

Alexis Wilke — Tue, 05 Apr 2011 17:25:46 +0000

The default Aggregator Drupal module does not work very well. There are several problems with the Drupal Core module, one of which we have not fixed in our version (i.e. the flatness of the item table.)

There is a list of the known issues and our comments and whether we fixed the problem:

Problem	Solution in m2osw's version of Aggregator
Missing XML marker	The <?xml ... ?> marker is missing from some RSS feeds, add it as required

New Avatars and Log-in Issues...

Doug Barbieri — Wed, 16 Feb 2011 01:15:43 +0000

Recently, Linden Lab changed the way they create names for new avatars for Second Life. Now they allow you to create an avatar with a first name-only, whereas in the past they used to allow you to choose from a list of pre-defined last names. You still do have a last name, but it is actually "Resident."

For SLiteChat, this causes a problem for people who are used to logging in via first name only. For example, a new avatar named Angel123 cannot log into SLiteChat because SLiteChat expects a last name in addition to a first name. So, if Angel123 wants to log in using SLiteChat, she

Simplemenu Inactive Parents

Alexis Wilke — Sat, 31 Jul 2010 20:34:36 +0000

Description

A simple menu is composed of parent menus and children menus. A child has no drop-down menu and a parent does.

By default all the menu items are active, meaning that they all are links one can click on to reach the corresponding destination.

This simplemenu extension allows for turning the link off by replacing the anchor reference in a named anchor. The HTML tag being the same, the simplemenu looks the same, but the item cannot be clicked.

At this time, there is no option to make some of the parent items clickable and others not.

Setup

There is no settings for this module.
