My Latest Project - A Drupal Module (Update 2)


By Kevin Carbonaro - Posted on 06 December 2009

Time for another update on the progress of my Drupal module which I have decided to name; PhotoPic.

I have completed quite a few important things from my growing to do list and am learning a lot along the way.

The following lists those things that have been completed or still in progress:

  • If lightbox is not used, photos are resized to the specified maximum width, still keeping the aspect ration intact.
  • Navigation links added - but still require improvement.
  • Admin settings page - form validation before saving the data done.
  • Decided that CSS overriding feature will be added in a future release - Better focus on error checking and security.
  • Shows a friendly error if the albums/photos cannot be loaded from Picasa.
  • Release my module on drupal.org - In progress... I am checking my code to make sure it is up to the standards of drupal.org. There is a lot to read and learn before uploading any open-source module to the website. In the end it makes sense to stick to the official drupal standards for module development because your module will be of higher quality and the code more secure. People who download drupal open-source modules for use on their website would want some level of assurance that it will not break their site and possibly make them lose their visitors.
     
  • Show album names, somewhere...anywhere! :)

Do you know your laptop battery?When given this question to any user of the laptops batteries,they will get confused. This happens to me once when someone asks me about my dell battery.As you can see, before replacing the Hp Compaq battery Acer battery Apple battery IBM battery Asus battery Lenovo battery Samsung battery Sony battery and Toshiba battery,it is very important to know a little about the field again in the first place. There are several types of Canada laptop batteries that I will share in this post. The types of replacement laptop batteries: 1. Alkaline – This is a common batteries for laptop around, but only a few use this kind and the ruling on alkaline Dell Inspiron 6400 Battery,Dell 1520 battery or Dell 1525 battery will not be rechargeable. You have to shoot once to deflate. 2. Lead Acid – One of the most common use. It is durable, resistant and rechargeable, but unfortunately the Dell Latitude D800 Battery is heavy and full of lead: P. 3. Lithium-Ion – The type of HP Pavilion DV4 Battery or HP HSTNN-DB72 battery that you want to have for your laptop. The quick-charge effect is good for users moving (no need to wait a while for the battery is fully charged.) It is also environmentally friendly as well. 4. Nickel Cadmium – Ni-Cd is one of the oldest types and improved performance of rechargeable acer aspire 5520 series battery, but has a serious problem. After prolonged use (several years),acer aspire 5520G battery will be affected by the dreaded memory effect. This means that the use of battery life deteriorates over time. 5. Nickel Metal Hydride – Ni-MH is considered the successor to the Ni-Cd batteries such as acer aspire 5100 battery and acer aspire one battery, but unfortunately, the dreaded memory effect is as bad as well. However, comparison of the Ni-Cd and NiMH batteries, it lasts longer compared to its predecessor. The chances of using lithium-ion apple A1280 battery is 99% (that is if you are using the new breed of laptops). Just check the abbreviation says Lion or Li-Ion batteries in apple A1281 battery label. There are still some laptops that use Ni-MH batteries these days and you may want to check with the manufacturer if you can make an update of Ni-MH Li-Ion. The unauthorized use of Dell latitude D600 battery could lead to dire consequence. so do be very careful about this. If you have a larger budget you might want to check the SMART acer BATBL50L6 battery. It has a power management circuit and also tells the user which is the current condition of the BATBL50L6 replacement battery.
