<h2>Easily Embed TypeKit Fonts into your Drupal Website</h2>
|
||
|
||
<p class="posted text-light">14th February 2011</p>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<p>To begin with, you will need to register for a TypeKit account - there is a free version if you just want to try it out.
|
||
|
||
Next, you'll need to create a kit that contains the fonts that you want to use on your website. I've used FF Tisa Web Pro.

<h2>Use Regular Expressions to Search and Replace in Coda or TextMate</h2>

||
|

|

<p>As in the original post, I'd generated a list of node ID values, and needed to add structure the SQL update statment formatted in a certain way. However, I changed my inital query slightly to out put the same nid value twice.

<h2>Create a Better Photo Gallery in Drupal - Part 2.1</h2>
|
||
|
||
<p class="posted text-light">22nd October 2010</p>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<p>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:

<h2>Create a Better Photo Gallery in Drupal - Part 3</h2>

|

<p class="posted text-light">13th October 2010</p>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<p>The next part of the new gallery that I want to implement is to group the galleries by their respective categories. The first step is to edit my original photo_gallery view and add an additional display.
|
||
|
||
I've called it 'Taxonomy', and it's similar to the original 'All Galleries' view. The differences …</p>

<h2>How to Create and Apply Patches</h2>
|
||
|
||
<p class="posted text-light">10th October 2010</p>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<p>Earlier this year, I posted a solution to <a href="http://drupal.org/node/753898">an issue</a> 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 <code>user_pass_validate()</code> function that's found within <code>modules/user/user.pages.inc</code>.</p>

<h2>Review of the Image Caption Module</h2>
|
||
|
||
<p class="posted text-light">20th August 2010</p>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<p>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 …</p>

<h2>Create a Better Photo Gallery in Drupal - Part 2</h2>
|
||
|
||
<p class="posted text-light">17th August 2010</p>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<p>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 …</p>

<h2>Create a Better Photo Gallery in Drupal - Part 1</h2>

<p class="posted text-light">11th August 2010</p>
|

|
||
|

<p>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.

<p>Sorry for the lack of Blog posts lately, but my new job that I started a few weeks ago has certainly been keeping me busy! I've got a few more posts that I'm preparing content for, and I'll hopefully be back into my weekly-post routine before too long!
