votingapi 6.x-2.0-rc1

greggles — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 18:28:09 +0000

Updated for compatibility with Views RC2, added the ability to filter Views relationships to votes cast by the current user, and added three default views to demonstrate the Views integration.
Also added basic Simpletests, fixing a bug that manifested when modules cast votes with minimal information (nothing but a content id and a value, for example).
Finally, added the ability to auto-generate dummy votes for testing purposes. This feature is only visible if Devel Generate module is installed and activated.

Popups: Add and Reference

greggles — Mon, 15 Sep 2008 00:38:36 +0000

This module adds a link to CCK's Node Reference widget that makes it easy to add a new node without having to leave the edit page. It is built on top of my Popups module: http://drupal.org/project/popups
Initial inspiration: Add and Reference by tema: http://drupal.org/project/add_n_reference

views 6.x-2.0-rc2

greggles — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 22:49:23 +0000

This release is primarily a large number of bug fixes. Please note that one fix required an API CHANGE. This change affects all modules that use the Views API and those modules will likely cease to function.

AHAH helper

greggles — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 19:07:08 +0000

Description
Drupal 6's Forms API is great, but its AHAH support (a technique similar to AJAX) is lacking. You have to write a menu callback for every AHAH-enabled form item of your form. This is time consuming, hard to maintain and hard to write tests for. Not to mention that the code for those menu callbacks is not easy to understand, yet always the same. ("What's that piece of code for?" – "I'm not sure, it's just necessary…") See my blog post about this if you want more details: http://wimleers.com/blog/ahah-helper-module.

Keyword Autocomplete

greggles — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 05:44:20 +0000

Keyword Autocomplete lets you add autocomplete functionality to your site's search forms based on previously searched strings. The module saves keyword strings entered in search forms and increments a counter for the strings on subsequent searches. It then populates an autocomplete on search forms from these saved keyword strings in order of the most searched keywords to the least.
The administrative interface lets you view, edit, delete, or add saved keywords so you can seed the autocomplete with keyword strings you think your users will find relevant to your site. Settings let you specify which forms to attach the autocomplete to (search form, search block, search theme form) and how many keyword strings to display.

UC Node Checkout

greggles — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 22:01:34 +0000

This module allows you to map a node type to an Ubercart product. When a user creates a node of that type, the specified product is added to the shopping cart with a node reference to the newly created node. Options in the module allow you to turn links in the shopping cart into edit links for the node, display a summary of the node details in the shopping cart and on the order screens, and hide CCK fields on the node type from users who don't have the "edit content" permission. This makes the module an ideal candidate for registration site and customizable product sites that contain additional fields only administrators should have access to when processing the orders.
