note

Any e-mail address that signs up is immediately added to the simplenews_subscribers table as an activated user. Users are only deactivated if they do so (or are made so by an admin) specifically; this is what prevents people from being reactivated.

The simplenews_snid_tid table keeps track of what newsletters people are signed up to, where snid is the Simplenews subscriber ID and tid is the newsletter taxonomy ID.

General

• PDF of an old but excellent Jeff Eaton presentation
• A surprisingly informative deployment discussion on Stack Overflow, but best comment is Jeff Eaton's mostly reprising his session above.
• Fairly balanced 2008 overview of deployment options by Greg Dunlap (author of Deploy module).

A DCSF (DrupalCon San Francisco) Developer Talk Proposal, revised and updated for DrupalCon Chicago, based on a longstanding Drupal usability wish.

PowerPoint presentation from Core Conversation (available in other formats on request).

We have an API for developers like yourself. To let your users post
reviews to goodreads, check out this method:

If you end up building a Drupal module, we'd love to see it! We don't
have a PHP example for using our API either, so if you end up writing
something like that, we'd be grateful.

Corrected JavaScript to work for first variable in list (product) as well as second (rental).

It was simply constant.

Going through ClipMenu with Paste as Plain Text set to Command-clicking on the item is an acceptable workaround for now (and attempts with Applescript failed).

Hat tip to RobLoach who noted this in the #drupal IRC channel-- if we want to squeeze hundredths of a millisecond more out of our Drupal modules and themes, we should use echo instead of print for getting the data to the screen.

UPDATE: The PHP developers don't recommend switching from print to echo for speed reasons, suggesting that the difference can be dependent on the setup of your environment.

Random more useful PHP code speed improvements:
