DrupalConDC Ubercart tip: use PHP form to do custom functionality, but embed later

Another Ubercart tip for the new version:
Create your custom action in the custom PHP, but then put it into code and use it that way for performance and maintainability.

DrupalConDC Caching

The star or asterisk (*) clears everything

Memcache actually looks at how many daemons you are running, creates a hash that goes across them, and

http://drupal.org/project/cacherouter makes it configarable
it uses an object orientation

Earl Miles has made OO more palatable to the Drupal community through the

Larry Garfield has handlers implementation

Storing credit card numbers with Ubercart?

This was a client request.

Answer: No.

I spoke with the developer of Ubercart during the Drupal conference we attended last week.

Enterprise Resource Planning in Drupal?

ERP

billing
legal billing - what is taxed

company pays for profit minus

buy Quickbooks and have it take care of it

keep track of billing accounts -- accounts receivable
even that might as well be in Quickbooks

$200

how much can be [pushed off to Quickbooks]

have modules that are on the drupal

Build a billing system that we as a small company would have the data, responsible for what taxes go in what direction

all those rules are held as data on a server

simply access that data

Evoc and making Drupal semantic

Scor: will allow multiple

domain and range

The content type and its field would really be the
For instance, nodereference basically defines the range.

Field first name, for instance, is a textfield, so it should not be possible to use RDF properties that need to be a link

"So if someone downloads Drupal and sets up a Drupal site, even if they have no idea what RDF is, they will be producing it?"
"Right."

Neologism.

Everyone says to start with the fancy graph of showing who knows whom and what people they know made.

Using Git for Drupal development discussion

A gig and a half is all of core and contrib.

Drupal core with all of its history is 23 megabytes in a git repository.

Sticky write permissions forces new directories
chmod g+ws -r files

I show people the contents of this directory where I have index.php1, index.php2, index.php3, and why this [is a pain].

Before we even get into the benefits of collaboration.

P not moving toward git until Drupal.org moves toward a DVCS

That's why I have the system with a git copy

It will not be trivial.

@TODO Drupal core improvement bring back settings.php

webchick agrees!

What I want to do [get rid of default.settings.php]

and put the database settings in db.php

[that's what i do!]

[my caveat:]
you want to include db.php last so that you can override anything in settings.php site specifically

recommendation is that settings.php be version controlled and db.php not be.
[which is exactly my method :-) ]

DrupalConDC Accessibility birds-of-a-feather

http://groups.drupal.org/accessibility

People on our staff each use the screen reader differently. You don't get consensus in even how to do user testing. A person who is blind from birth vs. not or technically adept vs. not. Different from a sited user occasionally trying a site with a screen reader.

People with limited mobility not using a mouse.

We need users who represents people in each area.

PHPEclipse instead of Eclipse PDT

Recommended by quicksketch:

PHPEclipse
Aptana

Drupal function for stripping spaces and unsafe things to make the system machine name

bangpound:
what's a function that does the job of replacing spaces with underscores, lowering case of letters, stripping out non-alphanumerics?
less complex than pathauto. i need to do what the content_type.js file does, but in php

Not what we're looking for (from form.inc):
