Routes plugin for WordPress: Version 2.2.8 released

Submitted by jhodgdon on 22 July 2010 - 9:18am

Yesterday, I was making a new web site based on my Routes plugin for WordPress, and I noticed that both the new site and my existing bicycle trails site were not displaying maps in Internet Explorer 6. This was due to a JavaScript syntax error (apparently most newer browsers could overlook this minor error, but not Internet Explorer 6).

So, I fixed the error, and today released version 2.2.8 of the Routes plugin. Upgrading is advisable.

Today I updated my bicycle trails site to WordPress 3.0. The Routes plugin was mostly working, but there was a bug in the proximity search feature. So, I just released version 2.2.7 of Routes, with a fix for that issue.

10 minutes of fame: Drupal Voices

Submitted by jhodgdon on 28 June 2010 - 9:14am

At the 2010 DrupalCon SanFrancisco in April, I was honored to be interviewed for Lullabot's Drupal Voices series. The interview is now up, and you can listen to the interview to find out what I think about the importance of Drupal documentation, and maybe get a sense of why I choose to contribute so much time to the Drupal project.

Drupal WYSIWYG editor configuration tricks

Submitted by jhodgdon on 18 May 2010 - 5:05pm

Most of the clients I set up Drupal web sites for are not experts at hand-editing HTML, and prefer to use a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) or Rich Text editor to create their content. I generally set them up with the WYSIWYG API module, and use the FCK Editor or CK Editor plugin. Over the couple of years I have been using this module, I've learned a few configuration tricks, so I thought I'd share them here.

Article update: Creating a compound CCK field

Submitted by jhodgdon on 28 April 2010 - 3:04pm

I just updated my article on creating a compound CCK field. In this new version, I fixed a couple of problems reported by users of the module, added a fully-working example for text-only compound fields, added some new options at the top for alternatives to building compound CCK field modules, and tested everything with the latest versions of Drupal, CCK and the other dependent modules. So, there are two new downloads... enjoy!

Resource for beginning Drupal workshop

Submitted by jhodgdon on 27 April 2010 - 3:12pm

The Seattle Drupal User Group put on a free Drupal workshop for beginners in October of 2009, called the "Seattle Drupal Clinic". I now have a web site up at poplarclass.com that contains the agenda, curriculum, planning spreadsheets, a "lessons learned" page, and other resources. If your group is planning a similar workshop, you might find it useful, and all of the information there has been placed in the public domain.

Back from DrupalCon San Francisco

Submitted by jhodgdon on 23 April 2010 - 8:38am

I just got back from DrupalCon San Francisco, which was a blast! I went to only two formal sessions, presented 1 "BOF" (informal) session, was a panelist for two panel sessions, and spent the rest of the time coding, reviewing patches, and meeting all the folks I already knew on-line from my work on the Drupal open-source project.

Maintenance suspended on Language Switcher WordPress plugin

Submitted by jhodgdon on 6 April 2010 - 8:15am

As you may have noticed if you have visited the Language Switcher plugin page in the last couple of days, I'm sorry to announce that after much thought, I've decided to stop maintaining the Language Switcher plugin for WordPress.
