MobileKey Installation

Get the tarball or the zip file of the module from Drupal.org (MobileKey on Drupal).

Go to one of you module folders and extract the file you downloaded.

The default installation folder is sites/all/modules, if you have a multi-site installation and want the module for just a few sites, go to sites/<sitename>/modules instead (create the modules folder if it doesn't exist yet.) It is recommended that you do not install under the top modules folder as this one is reserved for Drupal Core modules.

Interestingly enough, today I received a Security Advisory from Drupal saying that users received an email from a hacker asking them to install a Trojan module on their Drupal system.

I find it quite interesting since, if Drupal wasn't secure, the hackers would not have to ask you to make it unsecure, would they?

jsMath for displaying mathematics with TeX Drupal 6.x module

Alexis Wilke — Sat, 17 Jul 2010 23:14:17 +0000

This is a quick helper to get you started with jsMath for displaying mathematics with TeX Drupal 6.x module.

I include an installation procedure and some sample of equations you can write and corresponding result. This very website does not run jsMath for several reasons, one being that it is slow and the other is that we don't really need it on our corporate website.

If you find an issue, please, file it in the jsMath Drupal queue.
