Because Network Solutions Sucks
One man's frustration is not lost in vain.

The Drupal community, and open-source community at that, has always had the altruistic goal of being accessible to all. The hope is that as freelancers and tech gurus go out into the world, maybe we can help by making better, more secure websites.
And then you have piece-of-crap hosting like that of Network Solutions.
Now, I only bring this up because as I work with clients to get their internet presence setup, sometimes you're stuck working with their choice of hosting provider, hosting package, and admin credentials.
This means crazy php.ini setups, no ssh access (bec...
Google Maps/Amazon/Banned Books Mashup - Part 2
Geocoding with Google Maps API
Share our glory:
When we last heard from Our Hero, we’d begun the joyous process of creating a simple Google Maps/Amazon mashup. We took a peek at what the finished product should look like, we obtained our Google Maps API key, and we created our database tables and populated them with some data. All good things.
We also talked about geocoding, that process of converting a street address into the coordinates (longitude and latitude) that Google Maps digs. Our LOCATIONS table has some street addresses and empty columns just hankerin’ for some longit...
The Power of template.php
A few techniques to help your designers.
Share our glory:
Theming a fresh Drupal site always gives the designers true glory. Well, its time that I help out my fellow programmers. After all, without us, its just a pretty drupal core.
First things first. I'm assuming that you and the designer are working on a clean theme, like zen. I'm also assuming the use of Drupal 5. Most of the code is available via drupal.org.

And now for something completely different…
Sorry to disappoint all the little nerdlings who come around here only for the Drupal goods, but today’s post won’t be at all related to our favorite CMS. We’ve talked about different Drupaly topics for weeks, now it’s time to shake things up a little. Today, kids, we’re going to make a basic Google Maps mashup.
Yeah, I know. The world needs another Google Maps mashup like I need a hole in my head, right? Who cares. They’re fun, and we’ll try to make our s...
Drupal Adsense Injector Module with CCK
Share our glory:
You might notice a rash of Drupal-related posts over the next couple of weeks. Last week, we decided to port the site over to that very popular CMS, mostly because we outgrew WordPress in about 3 days. Don't get me wrong, I love WordPress for straight bloggin', but it's a little limited on the pure CMS side of things. Still would recommend it to anyone who just needs a blog, though (I still use it for my personal stuff).
Anyway, today I installed the AdSense Injector module (Nerd's gotta eat, right?) after reading about it on the Drupal site. We'd previously added some AdSense bl...
