South Sudan top-level domain is .ss

Alexis Wilke — Tue, 13 Sep 2011 18:20:21 +0000

Very recently, Sudan was split in the northern and southern part. The southern part has a new name: South Sudan. It is now official and the new ISO country code given to this new country is SS.

This means their country top-level domain name will be .ss.

Assuming they open their domain name to all world wide, this is going to be quite interesting! There are many words in the English language that end with .ss such as dre.ss, and stre.ss, and le.ss...

If you're in the domain name business, look out for those! If it works like other top-level domains, these will go really quick and make the

The MobileKey module comes with the following settings. These settings are found here:

Front Page Redirect

Since you generally give one URL to your users, your home page (called Front Page in Drupal), it can be practical to send Mobile phone users to a special URL so when they access your site they see a better adapted front page than the usual.

The settings accept a local path (i.e. mobile) or a full path (i.e. http://mobile.snapwebsites.info/).

Note that this gives you a way to use the ThemeKey capability to change the theme of all

Domain Descriptions

Got a URL with a weird extension at the end (i.e. not a .com, .org, .info, .tv...) Wondering where that extension is from? Some, you may know because it is the usual country code, such as .de, .fr or .it. Others are harder to know because you probably did not learn the name of the some 276 countries of the world (know of .fm, .vc, .vg, .ws and .ng?)

MO Regex Filter for Drupal

$5.00

One of our customers changed to a new domain name. This left his site with thousands of links pointing to his old domain name. Changing all of those links manually would have proven to be too time consuming. That's when Made to Order Software decided to create the MO Regex Filter Drupal module to answer his need. This module was then used to replace the old domain name with the new domain name automatically. Many days if not weeks of work was saved!

One or two of the taxonomy columns are too wide

Alexis Wilke — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 23:32:27 +0000

It happens that a column in your main display look too wide. Say you use three columns, one may be real large and two are the normal size (1/3^rd of the screen.)

In general this happens because you have a URL in one of your description. (If the URL is in the title, I strongly advice that you move it to the description.) Then the description shows up as wide as that URL. Long URLs will have a real bad effect making the column much wider.

There are two ways to solve the problem:

Create a tiny URL, although tiny URLs may still be too big, it may help
