Development of TextMate bundles has recently migrated from svn to git but since the PHP Drupal bundle is still in Review status it wasn't migrated with the other bundles.
These instructions are intended for bundle maintainers in the same situation to ease the process of migrating your TextMate bundles to GitHub.
Let's get started...
FileField and ImageField 3.0 have just been released and bring with them the ability to display an upload progress meter in the FileField widget while a file is being uploaded. As ImageField uses the FileField widget this works for ImageFields too.
The original article FileField and ImageField 3.0 for Drupal 6 Released points out:
Probably the most exciting improvement is the addition of upload progress indication. This enhancement requires the PECL uploadprogress PHP extension, but adds a real asset to sites that use FileField for podcasts, videos, or other large files.
It took me a while to figure out how to install this extension so I thought I'd do a quick post about it. These instructions are probably valid for other PECL extensions but since this is the only one I have installed I wouldn't like to say for sure.
The help text of Drupal usually appears in the top part of the content area on admin pages and provides help for administrative users who may need guidance on how to use the functions available on that particular page. Once you become more experienced with Drupal you rarely need to see this information and it can get in the way of developing and administering a Drupal site.
Drupal comes with the excellent and very powerful jQuery JavaScript library. jQuery really reduces the learning curve when it comes to adding fancy JavaScript effects to a Drupal site.
In this mini-tutorial I will show you how you can add a theme-based JavaScript file to your site so you can start to leverage the power of jQuery in your projects.
The North East Digital Awards celebrate the achievements of businesses and organisations across the North East of England that have recognised, developed and practiced digital techniques to best effect.
This region clearly has some very innovative businesses with strong digital elements. Last year we recognised the fantastic achievements of 44 regional businesses, chosen from over 250 award entries.
I've been painfully aware that the formatting of the HTML output of the Drupal sites we've been building are not up to the high standards we set for ourselves here at Freestyle Systems. The pages do validate against XHTML 1.0 Strict but Drupal doesn't make it easy for the developer to format the final HTML code that's output to the browser in a neat and tidy fashion.
A few days ago I got thinking that I've been using CSS frameworks such as Blueprint quite a lot and that they carry some bloat that makes them less than ideal for smaller projects. It didn't take long until I was creating a new theme, one that was clean and as bloat-free as possible. That theme is Clean theme.
A lot of people have been eager for a Drupal 5 version of Shadowbox so I thought I'd spread the word that there is now a Shadowbox 5.x-1.x-dev version available! You can download it from the Shadowbox project page.
There were originally problems getting Shadowbox to work with earlier version of jquery_update but those issues have now been solved thanks to the jquery_update maintainers.
The Drupal API at api.drupal.org provides the reference documentation for Drupal core. The documentation within the Drupal API is constructed by the API module which parses the Doxygen comments in the Drupal core files. A major benefit of the API module is that it can also be used to generate documentation for contributed modules.
Shadowbox.js is a modal media viewer application that enables web content to be displayed in an interface overlaid on the originating page.
