Important Module Releases in Drupal

Plupload integration

greggles — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 02:52:04 +0000

Provides integration between for the Plupload widget to upload multiple files and Drupal. Plupload is a GPL licensed multiple file uploading tool that can present widgets in Flash, Gears, HTML 5, Silverlight, BrowserPlus, and HTML4 depending on the capabilities of the client computer.
This is a brand new project and is under active development.
The current code is somewhat of a proof of concept that does a very simple thing: a single setting page, a single upload page, and content goes into an imagefield on a single node using the HTML5 or HTML4 widgets. It assumes your allowed file extensions jpg,gif,png,jpeg.
Known problems
This should probably use one of the jQuery loaders and should probably put the javascript into the sites/all/libraries directory. Please, make an issue suggesting which jQuery loader is the best.
Roadmap

Make the basic features table - in this phase I don't plan any fancy integration, but want the module to work well for the simplest case and then we can have a full release.
Allow for tagging the images based on something like a URL parameter and perhaps flexible addition of information like OG groups.
Perhaps provide some of the other widgets like

Ad Auction

greggles — Sat, 26 Jun 2010 22:37:21 +0000

The ad auction module integrates the ad and the uc_auction modules to bring you advertisement slots that people bid for in order to display their advertisements.
Currently this module is in development and I am uploading it to the community for testing.
This is a unique way in which to create advertising revenue for your site. Advertisers manage their own advertising, cutting out the middleman and they can advertise at a cost which is based on supply and demand. As site admin your only job is to advertise to potential advertisers how they can get to advertise on your site.
The module works on the basis of a cycle of time for the display of adverts which can be configured through admin. Ad slots are re-auctioned in a regular cycle so that at the end of each display cycle the next batch of ads is ready to be displayed. If an ad slot is not bought then it displays your default ad.
This module should not be allowed anywhere near a production environment.

Remote login block

greggles — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 21:29:27 +0000

This module provides the standard core user login block in a form that can be incorporated into an external website, for example by using the HTML <object> or <iframe> tags.
This module is very small and lightweight.
It provides a way to assign a cascading style sheet to the form as presented to allow its appearance to fit with the website in which it is incorporated. Already authenticated users are presented with a link to the Drupal site with a user selectable text message.
Sponsored by OpenBand on behalf of its clients.

Drupal PHP Extension

greggles — Sun, 20 Jun 2010 16:49:49 +0000

This PHP extension currently adds C implementations to the frequently used check_plain and drupal_static Drupal functions.
It is still experimental and it should not be used in production until you've thoroughly tested it. It has only been tested to work with PHP 5.3.2, however, it should work with PHP 5.2 as well. Test with a new Drupal installation first. If something goes wrong with drupal_static, you should know it right away, since Drupal will break if it's malfunctioning.
INSTALLATION:

Download, extract, and run phpize in the extension's directory.
Run ./configure;make;make test

If all tests passed then proceed by running make install.
Comment out the check_plain and drupal_static functions in includes/bootstrap.inc in Drupal's directory.

*do not* comment out the drupal_static_reset() function.
Restart your web server for the changes to take effect.
