Create a Better Photo Gallery in Drupal - Part 2.1
22nd October 2010
Today, I realised that I hadn't published the code that I used to create the total figures of galleries and photos at the top of the gallery (I said at the end of Part 2 that I'd include it in Part 3, but I forgot). So, here it is: <?php // Queries …

Create a Better Photo Gallery in Drupal - Part 3
13th October 2010
The next part of the new gallery that I want to implement is to group the galleries by their respective categories.

How to Create and Apply Patches
10th October 2010
Earlier this year, I posted a solution to an issue on the Drupal.org issue queue. Originally, I just posted the code back onto the issue, but have now created a patch that can easily be applied to any Drupal 6 installation. Here is a run-through of the process of creating and applying a patch. In this case, I made changes to the

Review of the Image Caption Module
20th August 2010
Up until as recent as last week, whenever I added an image into one of my Blog posts, I was manually adding the caption below each image and styling it accordingly. That was until I installed the Image Caption module. The Image Caption module uses jQuery to dynamically add captions to …

17th August 2010
At the end of my last post, I'd finished creating the first part of the new photo gallery, but I wanted to change the dates of the published photos to reflect the ones on the client's original website. Firstly, I'll refer to the previous list of published galleries that …

Create a Better Photo Gallery in Drupal - Part 1
11th August 2010
Recently, I converted a client's static HTML website, along with their Coppermine Photo Gallery, into a Drupal-powered website. Over the next few posts, I'll be replicating the process that I used during the conversion, and how I added some additional features to my Drupal gallery. To begin with, I created my photo …

As a heavily-reliant Quicksilver user on my MacBook Pro, I was glad when I found the Teleport module for Drupal (due to Elliott Rothman's tweet). When you press a configurable hot-key, a jQuery dialog box appears where you can search for nodes by title or path, or directly enter the path …

Add a Taxonomy Term to Multiple Nodes Using SQL
7th July 2010
Update: This can also be done using the Views Bulk Operations module. In preparation for my Blog posts being added to Drupal Planet, I needed to create a new Taxonomy term (or, in this case, tag) called 'Drupal Planet', and assign it to new content to imported into their aggregator. After …
