On the new web project im working, i needed extra titles to be added to menu and blocks. A quick search on d.o return no results for block subtitle. so here goes a new project i created.

This module allows a user to add subtitle to blocks.

I'm rolling out this new jquery plugin today. I developed it for Drupal Mauritius. It's called Cloud.

The plugin homepage can be found here.

Cloud is a jquery plugin that turns li in a list into moving clouds.

A quick note to let you know that i've purchased a new domain for this site : preprocess.me. I have other plans for wydle.com. and i think the preprocess one would be more suitable here. Please update your bookmarks. I'll set redirection as soon as the new domain is propagated. Thanks.

Back in 2006 when i switched to Linux, consequently to Ubuntu, i faced some major issues with driver compatibility. Through the years, Ubuntu started to support most major vendor's hardwares. Now in 9.10, all drivers on my laptop works with the default Ubuntu install. Except for the errant microphone which let me down every time i had to skype someone. Well, not anymore. Here's a quick fix :

Open a terminal and type in alsamixer hit enter.

I've created a patch for the gmap module. This goes under feature enhancement. It enables the use of the extinfowindow to style the info window for markers. Custom theme can be easily created. I've included a tutorial in the README.txt file in the extinfowindow directory.

This patch is compatible with the latest dev version 6.x-1.x-dev - 2010-Apr-09

To install, apply the patch. Download extinfowindow and extract under /sites/all/modules/gmap/thirdparty.

You can enable the extinfowindow at http://example.com/admin/settings/gmap .

Yeah that's right. You have another device to worry about next time you want launch that big hit of a website you've been brewing for month. It's the iPad.

The iPad might not be exactly ipod touch's big brother but it does come with a browser twice as large as the ipod/iphone. For developers it's another agent we must take care of. Why? Because it opens up new opportunities for developers and there's thousands of hungry app consumers waiting for your next tap tap revenge. It's crazy. As Jobs puts it : "...If you're a dev, that's a plum market to go after...".

I want to take the time to thank everyone who participated in the sprint this weekend. As requested i'll be starting a series of advanced tutorials on Drupal as from now.

I know im very late to this party but this wasnt in my plan when i started this site. I wanted to write about simple but useful Drupal. After yesterday's massive rush to this homepage and the surge of pageviews on my analytics account, everything changed. It had to.

So there we are. I'll now start some serious Drupal coding. Keep watching this space. ;)

To install the fonts, all you need to do in Ubuntu is to install the msttcorefonts package. Instructions for installation are given below. The Truetype Microsoft fonts provided by the package include:

This little code snippet will add the present page title to the breadcrumb. We show you how to use this in steps.

Step 1 : If you do not have a template.php file in your sites/all/themes/yourtheme/ folder, create one.

Step 2 : Copy and paste this code in the template.php file.

Ever had the bad experience of building a drupal view with 10 fields then realise you don't need 8 of those? Your next logical step is to edit each row and hit that remove button furiously. It gets worse if the server is slow and the ajax is playing up. Here's a quick and easy way to delete multiple fields at one.

Step 1 : Click on the "order row" icon in the fields box in View.

Step 2 : A new container pops up with all your fields in it. Here you can drag and drop to reorder.
