MobileKey addition to ThemeKey

Alexis Wilke — Mon, 16 May 2011 18:59:11 +0000

The main idea of MobileKey is to give you the capability to switch your website theme to a mobile specific theme when the user access your site from one's mobile phone. A mobile theme will make it easier to access your website on a mobile device.

For go to the ThemeKey settings page:

Administer » Site configuration » ThemeKey

The MobileKey adds one selection to the list of attributes to match. The new selection is called:

mobile:device

This works everywhere on your website (it is a global option, not specific to any kind of pages.) The system checks different parameters to

Protected Node Password Field set

Alexis Wilke — Thu, 28 Apr 2011 03:14:49 +0000

Once installed and properly configured, the Protected node module adds a field set in the node edit form (assuming the user has the corresponding permission: "edit any password" or "edit password <node type>".)

This field set includes two flags, a password, and emails (optional.)

By default, the field set is closed unless you selected protected by default. Whether the field set should be opened or closed can selected in the node type settings.

The <node type> is protected

The first check box is used to password

CKeditor

Alexis Wilke — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 06:01:13 +0000

Introduction

Snap! uses the CKeditor as its WYSIWYG editor. It allows you to create posts that are formatted as in your Word processor.

This page helps you understand and makes full use of the widgets available in your editor.

jsMath Security Issue

Alexis Wilke — Sun, 18 Jul 2010 08:18:28 +0000

Security Issue

A security issue was found in all versions of jsMath before 2.x-dev for Drupal 6.x of Jul 29, 2010.

You may still securely use older versions of jsMath on private websites and websites were you are the only user (as in, the only one who can log in.)

The Drupal Security Advisory issue is here: http://drupal.org/node/854402

Administrator, Authors & Editors

Privileges

The Snap! system gives different people different privileges on your website. As the administrator, you can offer other users to become authors and editors.

The privileges are defined in each user account.

New version of the MO Auto add terms module for Drupal 6.x

Alexis Wilke — Thu, 29 Apr 2010 00:22:58 +0000

We just made a few fixes to our module MO Auto add terms. We have now released version 1.9. This module automatically updates your Drupal pages with terms from your taxonomies making it a lot easier to manage a large index on all your pages.

As defined by Drupal conventions, the module should not generate any E_NOTICE errors. This version has most, if not all of them, fixed.

Insert Node Security Considerations

Alexis Wilke — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 10:29:46 +0000

Although the accessibility of the node and comments are checked, it is a good idea to see this module as a security risk giving users a way to display nodes otherwise forbidden to them.

Because a lot of the data is used unfiltered, it is strongly suggest that you pay very close attention to the order of your filters. If you authorize this module to your users (i.e. where they can select an Input filter that includes this specific filter,) then look into checking the HTML code after this filter. Otherwise, a user could inject some unwanted HTML code1

1. Of course, the inclusion of a node should

Insert Node Usage

Alexis Wilke — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 07:44:38 +0000

Syntax

The Insert node tag syntax is:

   [node:<name of node> <parameters>]

Name of node

The <name of node> can either be

The name of the node, i.e. it's URL without the protocol and domain1, or
The node identifier (the number you see in your URL when you edit the node), or
An asterisk (*) in which case the current node applies2
- 1. For instance, to insert this very node, I would use the name doc_insert_node_usage.
- 2. The asterisk is useful to repeat something from the node in a block. This could be the title of the node or a CCK field. I would suggest ...

typedef struct swf_definefont2 swf_definefont3;

It is common to use the DefineFont2 tag in order to create an array of shapes later re-used to draw strings of text on the screen. This tag must be used whenever a DefineEditText references a font; and in that case it is suggested you include a full description of the font with layouts.

A filter defines how to transform the objects it is attached to. The first byte is the filter type. The data following depend on the type. Because each filter is much different, they are defined in separate structures. You can attach a filter to an object using an ActionScript or the PlaceObject3 tag.

The following describes the different filters available since version 8.
