Needs Improvement

[This is a blog not a note on Agaric because it contains my opinion and not the elusive collective opinion... not that any of my notes have that either]

Question about why the Drupal trademark is not transferred to the Drupal association.

Dries replied:

The Drupal Association could decide tomorrow to throw me out.

If it comes to a split...

Frankly the other party should pick a new name. But there is an agreement between [the Drupal association and Dries for use of the name for the purpose of protecting it.]

End paraphrase.

Dmitri: Not all things are a multiple. Can't have more than one setting for user registration.

Updating an install profile is a huge pain.

HeyRocker's talk just finished, his solution is to have a [central] site that pushes to others.

Dmitri: We don't have a core import-export API

Does your stuff work with deployment, patterns, context and spaces? If there was one in core people would standardize on it.

All these projects are at a 40-50% overlap. "More."

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

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.

Update: See Installing Drubuntu

Use the following commands to set up a development environment on Ubuntu (8.10).

We have a tricky user interface problem for taxonomy.

We have a very large hierarchical vocabulary, and multiple terms can be selected.

Currently the tree is much too large to reasonably navigate and control-click, control-click the terms one-by-one without a disastrous mistake

As it stands now SCF's project manager would prefer a type-ahead completion like free tagging terms get.

Trying: http://drupal.org/project/hierarchical_select

This is how one would embed it in a node.tpl.php, but this should all be done in a pre-process function instead.

Agaric wanted to know how to have a photo album where pictures would load when selected, without re-loading the rest of the page. The goal is to have the chosen picture load (with JQuery effects and any other coolness without a full page refresh) but to also have the URL in the address bar updates so people have a unique link back to the image.

Facebook does this, and the next time I was catching up on my friends' new album additions at 4 a.m. on a Sunday morning, I had to view source and see what was going on.

What looks like the key javascript code is copied below.

Here's the module if you need a quick fix, I'll be adding cleaned up code and a detailed set of instructions soon, stay tuned
