Dynamically Building Links With Comment Anchors When Comments Are Paginated

(All code examples pertain to a version of the Abuse module for Drupal that has not been released yet, as it is still being tested. A release version is in the works post testing by the community.)

Having links to comments via the anchor fragment of a url can be a great asset for users to share their content and for admins to quickly access questionable content needing to be moderated as I have found in my work revamping and improving the current Abuse module for Drupal.

Strengthening Content-Based Online Communities With Mobile Applications.

I have just started researching and learning how to program apps for the Apple mobile devices, mainly, the iPhone. Why? Mostly for two main reasons. One, for my own need to learn and grow as a programmer and two, in response to a new initiative at Morris to develop apps as an extension of our larger Drupal-based websites.

Drupal AHAH: Issues with drupal_render()

While integrating AHAH functionality into a compound CCK field that I'm currently working on, I ran into an issue to where my "checkboxes" FAPI type were not rendering when the form was rebuilt via AHAH.

Building Custom Compound Fields/Widgets for CCK Drupal 6.x

For the lack of documentation available focused on building custom compound widgets/fields for CCK, I've decided to write some based on personal work on building one such for use in my current project.

The widget that i'm building is a field to generate and select search results via user provided keywords. The end result given to the user in the node edit form is a field containing three elements:

  • Textfield for Keywords.
  • Submit Buttom to generate/refresh search results.
  • Table of checkboxes for choosing individual search results.

Updated Documentation For The CASAA Module

Ever since the release of the CASAA module it seems that I've fallen behind on updating the documentation on this site. Well, in a sense, I have but, at the same time I've been more focused on keeping the code itself for the framework module and the plug-ins as up-to-date as I possibly can.
