As a well-known Drupal shop, Trellon continually strives to contribute
back to the Drupal community in any way it can. Sometimes, we're just
too busy, other times, we're just plain ol' lazy and, more often than
not, Morbus is complaining about quality or phenoptosis or whatever. By
keeping track of what we give back, however, we hope to more clearly see
how much we are, or aren't, helping Drupal help ourselves.
This month saw the release of a number of modules:
Xapian integration
http://drupal.org/project/xapian
http://www.trellon.com/blog/xapian-search-drupal
"A common challenge for Drupal sites is working with documents in
different formats and getting them into the search engine. Drupal
does not natively index PDFs and Word documents, despite the fact
they are the most commonly exchanged text formats on the Internet
(outside of HTML) ... [we've] developed a module that replaces
Drupal's native search features with the Xapian search engine."
Teleport 1.0
http://drupal.org/project/teleport
We announced this last month, but our "hotkey-activated launcher
utility inspired by Quicksilver" has reached 1.0, for both Drupal
5 and Drupal 6.
On a recent project, we've had to provide simple event signups and
payment acceptance. The signup module provides part of this solution,
but we also added the signup_pay and signup_status modules to the mix.
Some remaining requirements resulted in a few additional companions:
Signup Pay Early Bird
http://drupal.org/project/signup_pay_early_bird
Adds two extra fields to the signup_pay module that allows the
event creator to specify an early bird discount rate, or percentage,
which is then taken into account by signup_pay (req. small patch).
Signup Restrict by Role
http://drupal.org/project/signup_restrict_by_role
Adds the ability to restrict signups to a particular role.
For example, if you only want users with the "members" role to
be allowed to signup for a particular event.
Event Webform
http://drupal.org/project/event_webform
Adds the ability to relate a webform to an event. This is
particularly useful for letting users include requirements for
the event (do they want lunch, a room, pickup at airport, etc.)
A healthy number of patches were also contributed, plus one for core:
Drupal core: Allow new comment timestamp to be passed
http://drupal.org/node/253577
constant_contact: subscriptions.module integration
http://drupal.org/node/263691
link: Extra url parameters
http://drupal.org/node/256490
mailhandler: Dies if command line found with no command
http://drupal.org/node/253906
services: XMLRPC server does not honor optional parameters
http://drupal.org/node/179848
signup_pay: various typos
http://drupal.org/node/260066
http://drupal.org/node/260524
signup_pay: Add new status code link doesn't show correctly
http://drupal.org/node/260527
signup_pay: Role weights errors
http://drupal.org/node/260539
signup_pay: Allow other modules to change payment amounts
http://drupal.org/node/263575
usernode: add user roles as a viewable field within views
http://drupal.org/node/260780
Until next month, superfriends, Develop Drupal Daringly!
