(Changing the options on an avatar gallery page created from user's profile pictures with Views Bonus Pack's grid view. The instructions and options here are for Drupal 4.7 but should apply equally to Drupal 5.)

Administer > Views

Click "edit" next to member_gallery

Scroll down to "Arguments" and click to expand.

Under "Argument Handling Code" change:

$view->gridcount = 3;

to:

$view->gridcount = 5;

Scroll all the way down and press the "Save" button.

Click on member_gallery to have a look at your view.

Adding pictures to an Agaric site with an image gallery can be done photograph by photograph, like any other content, by categorizing it into a picture gallery vocabulary (category).

However, for people who have an expensive digital camera and have discovered that it frees them from 24 or 36 pictures at a time by a factor of 10 to 100, Drupal sites made by Agaric (OK, any Drupal site with image module) can take mass upload and import of photos (or any digital image).

Agaric is experimenting with the Drupal Banner module, and as some of it is less than intuitive, we thought we'd document some of it here.

This will be Agaric Design's live experiment with working on content with an eye toward key words. This is for the site Driscoll Associates Modular Homes.

First step was just adding nodewords, to throw some of the below on the site.  (Another thing adding the nodewords module did was provide meta tags for geolocation so Driscoll Modular Homes now shows up on lists of places near Natick and Framingham, at least.)

[These were asked by a friend of ours who suggested our services to an organization where she was a long-time volunteer.]

So, if you were to remake the site, these are my questions:

Do you, for some strange reason, want secondary links to show up under your primary links when users are at your front, home page?

After a bit of frustration ourselves, here is Agaric Design Collective's very short guide to getting secondary links to show up when you are at your front page menu item.

Change your menu declaration for "Home" (or whatever you call it) from <front> to whatever you actually have <front> set to in your site settings, such as node/1.

That's it, everything will work now, move along, nothing more to see...

Just for the hell of it, Agaric Design Collective updated the the taxonomy_switch module to Drupal 5.

Less of a learning experience than hoped for now, the forms are not in best practice form yet.

It is attached below. It is also mentioned on taxonomy_switch's issue queue.

From Agaric's README:

This is a general review of ensuring security in PHP and is a background for and supplement to Drupal Handbook's writing secure code.

Filter all incoming data

Create a tree diagram for every input. Every time information is assigned to another variable, it taints that one also. Just like zombie bites.

Escape all outgoing data

Includes SQL queries and HTML.

The trick here is that you have to use PHP code as your input format and then get the user id (0 means an anonymous user).

$user = load_user(); // should get it

but it's not necessary. It's already in the global variables:

$GLOBALS['user']->uid

So...

Make sure you select PHP for the content filter for your page, and before you use full HTML when writing the page because the default PHP filter doesn't do line breaks.

Then put something like this in your page:
