Xray module visualization notes

Visualize plugin will be great for graphs (like what percentage of nodes on a site are each node type)

Marginalia

In searching for the perfect name for my dreamed-for annotation module, i found Marginalia. And through the name, i found a JavaScript tool already built to do it!

The search is over:

Must use ->fields() method in select statements in Drupal 7 database layer (DBTNG)

An error like this one:

PDOException: SQLSTATE[42000]: Syntax error or access violation: 1064 You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'FROM block block WHERE (theme = 'bartik')' at line 1: SELECT FROM {block} block WHERE (theme = :db_condition_placeholder_0) ; Array ( [:db_condition_placeholder_0] => bartik ) in xray_block_statistics() (line 80 of /home/ben/workspace/dgd7all/sites/default/modules/xray/xray.module).

The Ultimate Notetaking Drupal Site

  1. Title must be optional.
  2. Saving must be automatic.
  3. Must allow multiple edit tabs to be open at once.
  4. Tagging and crossreferencing preferred.

For me, it should be the one place for everything. This implies, if done with one content type, possibly having an optional date field, a private textarea...

Background:

Ideally the tabs would be vertical, and somehow in the application, but really it can just use the browser's tabs.

Agaric internal: Steps to quickly create and deploy a site

Full steps to take a new site live:

Create a project in git: https://agariclabs.net/gitweb?p=agaric/scripts.git;a=blob;f=agc.sh;hb=HEAD

Start a MayFirst project.

Upgrading Drush from 2 to 3 with lenny

As root:
aptitude
Find drush under PHP.

At the bottom of the information about the drush package, there's an i that means installed next to 2.0 and a p that means no packages or config files or anything are present next to drush 3.3.

Type + when the drush 3.3 line is highlighted.

Then type g to upgrade (twice, first it takes us to a confirmation page).

Note: On Agaric's servers the package list is updated daily by a cron job, but updating the package list can be invoked by hitting u if necessary.

Refining Agaric's mission statement

Changed our front-page mission statement from this:

Agaric uses the power of open source free software, the internet, and people to build sites that give control to our clients and their communities. Our founding principles include the goal of helping all people gain the most power possible over their own lives.

Please look around and learn how we can help you, and don't hesitate to contact us.

To this, which is mostly what we came up with a while ago:
