module

There are probably many things that could be done on this module. This is a short list for now:

Global Settings

CuteMenu has no global settings under the Administer » Site configuration. Instead, the settings are localized in the block and the menu items.

Example of usage

The Turn Watcher website, a commercial product by Made to Order Software, now uses the CuteMenu module in two places:

1. The main top-bar menu: Turn Watcher
2. The User Guide navigation menu: Turn Watcher User Guide
3. The main top-bar menu: Linux Geek Page
4. The main top-bar menu MORE...: Order Made!®

In Turn Watcher, I removed the default background from the top CuteMenu items. The top bar menu is pretty standard and shows as a nice drop-down, the User Guide has two cool features: it is right aligned (trust me, it took me some time to figure it ...

Installation

CuteMenu can be installed like any other Drupal modules. Extract the tar ball in sites/all/modules. The module makes use of two tables in your database. If you do not want to use it anymore, make sure to Uninstall it before deleting the files or you will still have the tables hanging.

Go to Administer » Building site » Modules to select the module so you can use it.

Bug in the core menu system (until Drupal 6.9)

At this time (Oct 25, 2008) there is a "bug" in the core menu system that needs to be fixed for the CuteMenu to work 100%. The only problem ...

Image & text at the top and bottom

The Cute Menu Module is all about making your menu look cute... This is achieved, in part, by the nice top bar, and a gradient in your dropdown. But what makes it even better are the images that you can make appear inside your menus.

There are two areas for that purpose: the Header and the Footer. Both are handled the same way, it is just a flag in your menu item that changes between one and the other.

Introduction

The Cute Menu Drupal Module is used to create advanced dropdown menus. The module is free and can be found on the Drupal website.

The list of items can be grouped under a title. The title is a menu entry which cannot be clicked on.

The dropdown panes can include a header and a footer with images and text.

As of now, our servers are running Drupal 6.9.

As stated on the Drupal website, this is a security update. Some issues could have given a hacker access to our database system. Although the risk was low, we decided to upgrade immediately.

The other problems that Drupal 6.9 resolves, were not issues on our servers.

If you have an questions or concerns, please, feel free to contact us.

More and more, people are learning new software as they go. A few will stick to one software for a long time simply because it is easier, but changing is easy too, especially if the new system is easy to use.

But how do you produce throwaway software? And is it worth the trouble?

As we see things evolving, more and more, people want to use software anywhere they go. This means software that runs on the Internet in some ways. For instance, you can use Google Map anywhere you go, as long as you have a computer to access the Internet.

Today, I stumbled upon a new link in Google. A link that brought me to a page full of tools a webmaster can use to know how their website is doing according to the Google Spider (the program that search all the pages on your website.)

https://developers.google.com/search

I was not aware of the fact that you could download a CSV file (spreadsheet file compatible with Open Office and MS Excel) with all the errors last generated by the Google spider. You can also look at the errors directly in your account.

So… did I have errors? Well! Many. In part because each page is duplicated 3 ...

This month, we’ll reach over 70Gb of transfer on our server. This is a problem since most of it is due to bad spiders. Robots trying to get emails off our websites.

So, we had to install an Apache security module called ModSecurity to prevent such attacks. It is sad that we have to take such measures for bad coders prevention.

If you also have an Apache server and want to protect your system, look at this website: https://www.modsecurity.org/
