Change notice: Introduce Plugin System to Core | drupal.org

Thu, 07/19/2012 - 05:51 -- rprice

Any module should be able to extend the system by providing additional thingies that can be chosen from, but at any given time, only the actually chosen one(s) should be invoked. For example, the Image module lets you create image styles by choosing from a set of image effects (scale, crop, rotate, desaturate, etc.). Any module can add more effects to the system. However, a particular image style is configured as a particular sequence of effects, and when it's time to generate an image of that style, the Image module wants to invoke just that particular sequence of effects.

7 - views and contextual filters with entity reference field - Drupal Answers

Fri, 06/29/2012 - 08:40 -- rprice

the 'right way' to do this is to work with entity approach and avoid the ['und'][0] business but I never got it to work in views. i.e. code $node=menu_get_object(); $field = field_get_items('node', $node, 'field_event_artistref'); return field_view_value('node', $node, 'field_name', $field['target_id']); code. Here's a link I was following on the topic computerminds.co.uk/articles/…

Why Your Links Should Never Say “Click Here” - UX Movement

Tue, 06/26/2012 - 23:26 -- rprice

Next time you find yourself thinking about using the words “click” or “here” on your links, remember the effects it’ll have on the user experience. The challenge is to make your links say “click here” without actually saying “click here”, and there are many ways to do this. It will take some thought and effort on your part, but in the end, your users will benefit with a better experience of your interface. You can take the easy way out and use “click here” on your links, or you can spend some time to find the right phrasing for your links that’ll click with your users.

How I Explained REST to My Wife

Tue, 06/19/2012 - 13:02 -- rprice

Machines don't have a universal noun - that's why they suck. Every programming language, database, or other kind of system has a different way of talking about nouns. That's why the URL is so important. It let's all of these systems tell each other about each other's nouns.

Wife: But when I'm looking at a web page, I don't think of it like that.

Ryan: Nobody does. Except Fielding and handful of other people. That's why machines still suck.

Wife: What about verbs and pronouns and adjectives?

/drupalgive initiative | drupal.org

Mon, 06/18/2012 - 09:06 -- rprice

A /drupalgive page highlights the great work that your organization is doing for the Drupal project. Not only does your organization receive credit for the work you do, but we also nudge other organizations to give back as well. I expect that employees and potential hires from non-contributing organizations will start demanding to give back. This initiative gives those folks something to point to when advocating and educating inside their organization.
