    I never reached this state with any of my laptops, that's true, I usually replace my laptop once in a year so I have somewhat experience with few laptop brands. On the top of my preferences there are HP laptops, they are most reliable and never had real trouble with handling them.

  • TreasuryDirect - Too Much Security?   4 weeks 4 days ago

    I completely agree. I have never succeeded in logging in correctly, and every time I have to make a transaction I have to call them up and it takes weeks to resolve. I have two separate accounts (why?!!!) and each has its own access card and DIFFERENT login process (one account @ begins G and one begins P and apparently that changes the security requirements). I have extremely detailed written instructions for each account, yet it never seems to work...

    Hi Dave,

    great work! I wonder if you will publish a stable version of the Feedburner module for Drupal 5? That would be truly appreciated :)

    Regards,

    What do CVS command do you use to update your HEAD and overwrite local modifications?

  • Drupal reset script   9 weeks 9 hours ago

    I've updated this script with a developer install profile and an archive that will add all the files if you extract it into Drupal's root directory. Using this with the developer profile is saving me even more time! :D

    I came across a similar need and created a database erase script (it's part of the dbscripts module). However, my approach is based primarily on bash scripting and accessing MySQL through the command line. I like the approach you have here being able to do it through the browser. I'm interested to see if I can do something like this with the dbscripts module :D

  • Drupal reset script   9 weeks 14 hours ago

    Good question. I don't use the sandbox module for my testing since:
    1. It's not available for HEAD / Drupal 7 which I'm testing on.
    2. I wanted to literally delete the Drupal tables from the database and restart from the install process, since some of the patches that I've been testing make big changes and don't work well if the database tables are in place.

    Why don't you just use the Demonstration site (Sandbox) module?
    You can create different snapshots and restore them at anytime.

    Keep up the great work! It's also good to see the Drupal test bot supporting people's patching efforts: http://drupal.org/node/253569#comment-995409

  • DNC 08 - Obama   10 weeks 1 day ago

    He even has me semi-convionced, lol. Of course, since my prefered candidate durring the Primary Race has now gone down in flames as just another self centered womanizer, I'm actually grateful Obama was there as an alternative to Hillary, since I think she is even more divisive at the national level than Obama is.

    Oooooh, that's good information..... Just what I was looking for...

    So many freaking modules, and so little space in my memory banks!

    Thanks for the info... I've got your module set up and it looks like it works perfectly, great job...

    Looks like you're using the ShareThis module? that one is mine!

  • FeedBurner Drupal 6.x-1.0 Beta   10 weeks 2 days ago

    I'd highly recommend the Pathologic module, which filters internal URLs and converts them to absolute URLs. Maybe I'll add something to the README.txt that recommends that module.

  • FeedBurner Drupal 6.x-1.0 Beta   10 weeks 3 days ago

    Great module!

    This is perfect, as I was just asking my users to change their links to the appropriate feedburner feed.

    One thing I'd like to see in a module (maybe this one) is to have relative links converted to absolute. I've just noticed that feedburner breaks a ton of my internal links when reading the feed @ feedburner. It works fine if it's pulled into Google Reader, but not online at the actual feedburner link.

    I'm not sure exactly where this could be implemented, but seemed to fit with FeedBurner, as that's where I'm getting the issue.

  • FeedBurner Drupal 6.x Update Status   14 weeks 1 day ago

    Fixed it by patching the module to check for /sl in the URL and redirecting to another Feedburner feed, so - no rush :)

    Thanks again!

  • FeedBurner Drupal 6.x Update Status   14 weeks 1 day ago

    Got it and it works great - many thanks!

    Just a question - are you planning to support multi-lingual sites in the future? I need to set up different feedburner redirects for blogs in each language.

    Best regards,

  • FeedBurner Drupal 6.x Update Status   14 weeks 1 day ago

    I just released Drupal 6 alpha version of the module ready for testing! Go get it!

  • FeedBurner Drupal 6.x Update Status   14 weeks 2 days ago

    Looking forward to getting Feedburner working on D6. It's really is a great module! Thanks for all your hard work on it.

  • FeedBurner Drupal 6.x Update Status   14 weeks 4 days ago

    At this point, I'm optimistic that I can get at least an alpha release of the module out on the 4th or 5th, that will have all if not most of the functionality that the latest 5.x version had. I have to head to Omaha today and I'm hoping I can get some kind of personal code sprint in today.
