TinyMCE Module patching for IMCE integration

In the second attempt to use the TinyMCE Module it worked better. This time I wanted to integrate the IMCE module. Having seen how it worked on TinytinyMCE I thought it would be a piece of cake. Nope, this one also needs a patch. Luckily I found it here.

So much for documentation

Documentation is always a good thing, yet I keep forgetting to write down what I did, ‘because it’s so obvious’. Well, it wasn’t. I was hunting down an error for several hours that occurred on one domain, but not on the other with the same Drupal installation.
So for every one out there, especially my future [...]

Drupal Clean URLs on OS X Leopard

As said before, I did a Drupal installation according to the IBM tutorial and created my own ‘drupal.development’ virtual host. During the installation of Drupal I noticed I couldn’t get Clean URLs. Now that I’m working on integrating Gallery2, I really needed them. So I had to look into the problem.

Safari vhost quirks and ‘access denied on /’

As I started on Drupal I came across an IBM tutorial that explained how to setup a Drupal developement environment with Eclipse. What they did was setup a virtual host in Apache by the name of ‘drupal.development’. That worked fine in Firefox and I was happily configuring Drupal when I decided to use Safari to [...]

Drupal best practice

Just found out: put downloaded modules not in the default /modules directory, but rather in sites/all/modules or sites/default/modules. I simply moved them around and nothing bad happens.

Drupal’s menu system - take two

Ok, so I was wrong. The primary links can be used for a hierarchical menu and I can even set the secondary links to the same menu and they’ll automatically show the second level items, or so I’m told. Haven’t tested it yet.
Right now I understand the usefulness of creating a separate menu for the [...]

Drupal’s menu system

The essence of a good website is the ease with which visitors can find their way through the website. So navigation is important. I guess I’m spoiled with my own system where I only had to set the navigation once and the software figured out the correct language, but Daisy’s navigation isn’t bad either. It [...]

The quest for a WYSIWYG editor

The disappointment of the missing WYSIWYG editor was quickly solved when I found the TinyMCE module. Or so I thought.

Drupal installation quirks

It took me a while to get Drupal installed. Not because the actual installation process was difficult, but because it required much more manual steps than Daisy or Joomla or WordPress.

Drupal: the beginning

After a server crash the decision to move from a home grown solution to a CMS for my pet project became more urgent. The move to Daisy CMS became impossible when I realised that the webhosting provider didn’t support the necessary java version and when I couldn’t get my own Cocoon based solution working in [...]
