Allow users to create a placeholder to relate or link to content they subsequently create

I am editing one node. I know that the next node I'm going to create is going to be related to it. In fact, I want to link to the node-to-be directly from the text I am writing.

Add autocomplete taxonomy to user profiles used on one-page registering

For the World Social Forum 2008 web site, we want people to be able to use an autocomplete freetagging taxonomy field to add an organization to their user profile that they can access when registering.

Looks like the subform_elements module will be the way to go.

Resolution

Show category selection below body on content editing form

Agaric has a fair amount of categorization going on, including some multiselect forms that take up a lot of room. We would prefer to have our CCK fields and node body field displayed first in the create content / edit node form, and the taxonomy choices below it. (I know better how to categorize something after I've written it, how about you?)

A quick search turns up nothing about rearranging this form, which means I must be using the wrong keywords.

I think however it can be done with my old, dear friend form_alter.

Agaric Wants: set 'view revisions' permission by content type

Naturally, if you have a wiki content type, you want everybody to be able to view revisions. Odds are they may have an edit tab also.

But do you really want a big "Revisions" tab and a redundant "View" tab added at the top of your carefully crafted about us page, the one where you just deleted all references to your collective cofounder and you really don't want anyone looking at revisions anyway?

Installing and using FTP on Debian

So I needed FTP in a pinch.

PureFTP was the first that got me to the install instructions:
http://www.debianhelp.co.uk/pureftp.htm

sudo apt-get install pure-ftpd-common pure-ftpd
sudo groupadd ftpgroup
sudo useradd -g ftpgroup -d /dev/null -s /etc ftpuser
sudo pure-pw useradd agaric -u ftpuser -d /home/ftpusers/agaric
sudo pure-pw mkdb

It appeared to be successful.

Topics and Questions to Agaric from a Request for Proposal

From a Request for Proposal, some pretty good questions about our practices, policies, and offerings:

Along with your standard practice for responding to proposals, please
address the following topics and questions in your proposal.

Design Tools and Process

PowerToExchange finding focus to launch

Here's a site where there's so much potential, a client willing to fund development of it right now or earlier, and we would get half of any money the site could make in the future.

http://PowerToExchange.com/

This is a site that needs direction. Purpose. Personality.

I was originally hired (pre-Agaric!) to do another site called LinkLocus.com as the idea of the same person. LinkLocus could be rolled into PowerToExchange in the future.

Agaric Wants: to be able to add taxonomy terms en masse by checking off nodes in a list

2009 Update: http://drupal.org/project/taxonomy_multi_edit (this module was around, just didn't find it until now!)
And http://drupal.org/project/views_bulk_operations has been made far more powerful.

The below is very, very out of date.

Clean URLs don't work on test sites on a different port

This is most curious. URL path rewriting to allow clean urls (no ?q= in Drupal) work just fine on all the sites on the server except those that are accessed through the port that directs

I've checked out the rules in the sites-available configuration files and all of this is exactly the same.

Somewhere there must be port-specific rules that set up URL rewriting for the normal port 80 only?

I removed "Indexes" that followed Options and indented the Order allow etc commands, so that it looks identical to its live sibling, just a tad higher in the same file:
