Drupal How To
Made to Order Software offers Drupal websites to its customers. The websites come in with a given set of modules. There is some online help within the Drupal website, however, these help pages are often too technical to be understood by most of our customers. For this reason, we have created this library of help pages about some of the modules we are offering to our customers.
Please! Feel free to post a comment (or email us) if you see anything wrong or would like clarification. We are always looking to do our best to help you.
Thank you!

CRM and ERP solutions

We currently offer three solutions: Compiere ERP & CRM, SugarCRM and X-Tuple ERP.
A new concept: Throwaway Software.
Wed, 10/01/2008 - 10:53 — Alexis Wilke
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.

Can an iPod break your jaw?
Sat, 09/27/2008 - 00:52 — Alexis Wilke
Also I have an iPod, I won it (Yes. I did not buy it!) And I rather rarely listen to music in general anyway. In other words, I think I’m not at risk! However… Many people have their iPod on their ears while running outside. Nothing wrong with that until… lightning strikes. I’m not too sure why people would be running outside when there is a lightning storm, but the fact is that happens.
Testing PHP properly...
Mon, 09/15/2008 - 12:31 — Alexis WilkeI have been wondering, for a little while, how can I properly test my PHP code?! Only my server can run it, right? Well, no, there is CLI. Okay, but how can I make that work in there?
The best answer I’ve got so far: simpletest. This PHP library let you write a test a la C++. You simply create a class derived from a SimpleTest class, and voilà. You are done. Well… you still have to implement test functions. But that is still a breeze.
I used this library to test the PHP eFax classes and got about 4 bugs out (not too bad, considering I wrote over 1,000 lines of code and ...
