How to

UPDATE: The Zen Theme does this so, so much better, so we'll be stealing from it as soon as we get the chance.

Provide edit links to block and view blocks for admin users by modifying block template files in your theme.

This is very rudimentary but works for the most common blocks. I'm sure it can be generalized to work for all blocks no matter what module defines them.

Create edit-block.tpl.php

How do we add an image to a custom defined, textual block?

You can change menus here:

Edit the custom block in question, at a URL like:

http://example.com/admin/build/block/configure/block/41

How do you harvest e-mail lists for all of the site users?

(Agaric note: Harvest is often used in the context of spammers "harvesting" electronic mail addresses; this is a matter of the site owner getting e-mails provided by site users, to which the site owner already has access, in a useful form. We skipped the terminology sermon and just wrote back...)

There are a couple enhancements that could be made to the site.

One is a module that allows configurable views to be downloaded as comma separated value (CSV) spreadsheet files.

Status: we've enabled authentication, but can't connect to SMTP on port 25 with say an e-mail client to test the real way, and have a new error for testing on the server: 538 5.7.0 Encryption required for requested authentication mechanism

Ask Agaric: how to get colorful, styled text within the content I write?

(See also: Why not WYSIWIG.)

One request: we are trying to get more color and liveliness into the site. Can you give me the HTML code for purple font? I’d like to change all the headings in the verbiage to purple…! Thanks.

Update: On Ubuntu, so long as third level selectors are turned on for the Alt key under System > Preferences > Keyboard > Layouts > Other Options, you can click Alt + , and then c.

On a Mac running virtualbox, this is actually option+, and c.

On a Mac (and the code for a PC) follow steps buried deep in this IM log... I wish all my tech support were like this:

Alrighty then,

If you're reading this then you've probably been searching for a way to theme the default file attachment table in drupal and add cool icons according to the file's mime type, (ie. if it is an mp3 then a music icon will show, if a pdf then a pdf icon, etc)

This is a quick and easy method to help you get this done on your sites and make people think you are cool...

This is a work in progress.
