ON-AIR appearance by your favorite Agaric founder...

Well, it's official. I've been offered some time to play on Nondeskript's radio show this Thursday October 18th.

People who like music are encouraged to listen.

The details:
10:00pm-12:00am ---- The Rush ---- WMUA 91.1FM Amherst, MA

Their website --> http://wmua.org

Amazing places? Towards an open database of location data.

Combined with community-managed taxonomy, I can see this making it possible for us (Drupal users and people who care about open knowledge) to create our own definitive geographic listing.

Right now place module only understands points, but once I understand geo well enough to use that method of storing location information instead... I'm sure it too can be democratized to allow the feedback of millions of people to identify what's where.

I'm at latitude and longitude such and such, and I am inside Natick!

Agaric would host a server to aggregate the votes...

Parse error and other problems with include file- due to bad encoding or something

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /Users/ben/workspace/repos/agaric/agaric-modules/place/5/place/taxonomy_location/taxonomy_location_admin.inc on line 1

renamed file and started a new one with Mac line endings instead of Unix:

evil_textwrangler-inserted-bad-characters-taxonomy_location_admin.inc

The new file worked. But very soon, a new problem:

Drush notes from Moshe's lightning talk

Another module by Arto Bendiken
install Drush module

then

command line:
php ./drush.php help

Boost actually comes with some Drush commands, but they're out of date

If you are a lazy developer [and most of us are]
you will like drush

php ./drush.php pm install boost

(I'm connected to the groups.drupal.org site which is not the best place to demo stuff, but I think this is safe)

It went and found the latest release from update status, and went and installed it into

MySQL WHERE ... IN (1, 4, 5) syntax

For maximum ease of use, the answer is in the title.

From DevArticles Forum:

SELECT foo FROM bar WHERE foo IN (1,2)

Allegedly:

Note that the IN is an array. If you have a large amount of items it may be easier to use IN $array rather than write a long query.

Zing auction site recipe

Here is the recipe for the successful fundraising auction for the nonprofit community-building Amazing Things Arts Center.

This is a Drupal 4.7 site. Note that Agaric doesn't currently recommend using category module for new sites.

  • is what I actually enabled for 2007

Auction site recipe:

cart
+ category
category_bulkedit
category_display
category_export
category_menu
category_outliner
category_pathauto
category_transform
category_views

Group owner cannot abandon group

Pierre was concerned about group originators abandoning a group. Here's the message you get on a group's subscription page on Groups.Drupal.org if you are the one who created the group:

You may not unsubscribe from this group because you are its owner. A site administrator can assign ownership to another user and then you may unsubscribe.

So while an Organic Groups group owner can assign co-moderators, they can't reassign ownership. But a site admin can.

Modifying profile node embedded in registration form

Here's the dump of the form information for the profile node type embedded in the user registration form.

I can't get form_alter to apply to just this form-- if I use node-form it works, but it shrinks every other body text field also.

Form ID: user_register
Array
(
    [user_registration_help] => Array
        (
            [#value] =>
        )

Do not display log message

Do not show the log message input box, "An explanation of the additions or updates being made to help other authors understand your motivations."

oh well... form_alter can do it.

Now implemented in Agaric Design Collective's form_tweak module (not released on drupal.org yet, as I'm not sure about the protocol of modules you have to edit source code to use)
