Coder review of contrib upgrade to 6.x (for DrupalCon Szeged)
I am co-presenting coder at DrupalCon Szeged with my co-maintainer Stella who has been co-maintaining coder for about a year. See the session write-up
This presentation will be similar to the one given in Boston. But Since we have less time, and since we are co-presenting (meaning even less time for me), I'm pre-releasing parts of the presentation in this blog.
Themers: Put IE6 to pasture?
If you're a themer, you know you want it. You crave for it every day. It's a hunger, never relenting, pushing you closer each day towards the brink. You'd consider doing just about anything -- legal or otherwise -- to end the agony of using Internet Explorer 6.

Getting Ready for Szeged: Creativity and Programming
Submitted by robin on August 20, 2008 - 1:59pm.
Drupalcon Szeged is one week away. I am glad I am attending, and I am planning on leading a Birds of a Feather (BOF) during the conference. The focus of the BOF is creativity and programming. I want to discuss the weird mix of human behavior and code. Sounds strange I know, so let me describe in more detail.
Customizing "View More" Links In Views 1 For Drupal 5
Submitted by Bevan Rudge on August 20, 2008 - 12:55am.
A short, quick and easy tip for views theming and customization.
To customize the text or the destination path/url of a 'view more' link in Views. Add this to template.php in your phptemplate theme and add cases.
<?php
/**
* Override theme_views_more() to set custom link texts and destinations.
* @param $path String
* The destination of the more link.
*/
function _phptemplate_views_more($path) {
$text = 'more';
switch ($path) {
case 'foo/bar':
$text = 'doh';
break;
}
return "<div class='more-link'>" . l(t($text), $path) . "</div>";
}

How To Rebuild The Menu In Drupal 6
Submitted by Bevan Rudge on August 19, 2008 - 8:17am.
To rebuild the menu in Drupal 6 you have to go to admin/build/modules.
In drupal 5 the menu is cached in the cache_menu table, so it is easy to invoke a menu-rebuild by emptying the table with a simple mysql command like TRUNCATE cache_menu;. (I have a handy script that empties all tables starting with cache_).

Modules for building Drupal wikis
Submitted by Owen Barton on August 11, 2008 - 5:37am.
For many sites a standard Drupal
content type with open permissions and revisions will do enough of
the 'wiki-thing' for many situations.
However, there are a
bunch of other wiki-like behaviors that you might (on some sites)
want to add additional functionality or usability - here is a summary of modules
to check out:
- Wikitools
(pretty configurable - you don't need to have all of this all the
time)
- Node Creation: Let users create new nodes when they type in a node name which does not exist.
Secure code: what the machines are saying about us
Submitted by nedjo on August 8, 2008 - 9:06am.
This morning my Drupal development environment came miraculously to life. I used the opportunity to learn more about how the machines view us as humans and what their terms are for communicating with us. Here's a transcript of our conversation.
So I've been dying to know, machine, what do you think of us humans?
<?php
define('MACHINE', 'pure');
define('USER', 'impure');
?>Um, come again? I'm not quite sure I get what you're saying.
