Taxonomy Router

Drupal Modules official - Mon, 10/13/2008 - 00:20

Pages Taxonomy vocabularies/terms.

  • Currently returns nodes if you address a term, terms if you address a vocabulary.

This simple functionality itself may prove useful. For example, a quick list for a small and relatively static taxonomy branch.

  • Uses URL's very similar to those used by older versions of the Taxonomy Menu module.

i.e.
?q=category/digit (for vocab)

or

?q=category/digit (vid for vocab)/digit (tid for term)

Useful for programmers, as it is easy to address a term or a vocabulary without making much differentiation.

  • Has an extra feature in that you can add any number of slash separated URL items between the vocab item and the term item.

So the full URL form is,
?q=category/some vid digit/[anything numeric here in the middle]/some tid digit

This kind of functionality keeps turning up in various taxonomy modules. It has been depreciated for Taxonomy Menu, and I felt it should have a module of it's own.

WARNING: this is a largely untested module. However, the functions are benign i.e. the module is not expected to cause any damage.

Comment Count Image

Drupal Modules official - Sun, 10/12/2008 - 21:23

RSS feeds are only updated once in a while by feed readers. Comments might be
updated anytime. Still, it would be cool to show the current number of comments
on a given page, blog post, or whatever content. The feed-loving user can then
tell in a glimpse if visiting the page will pay off, if there are comments
at all or if there are new comments compared to an earlier visit on that page.

This module provides this functionality by means of an image whose URL stays
the same for each post (thus not requiring the feed itself to be updated).
The image itself though always reflects the current number of comments.

Once activated, the module automatically adds the comment count images to each
feed item if comments are enabled for the corresponding node.
No further configuration options are provided (and not necessary either).

Addison Berry new Drupal documentation team lead

Drupal.org - Fri, 10/10/2008 - 18:02

For the past few years the Drupal Documentation Team has been led by Steven Peck (sepeck). Steven was the second person to take on this role (Charlie Lowe was the first), and he has done a great job. Not only has he grown the documentation team to include a lot of talented and hard-working volunteer writers, he has overseen the restructuring and reorganization of Drupal.org's documentation handbooks, greatly improving their structure and accessibility. Thank you Steven for the great work!

Like so many Drupal contributors, Steven works on Drupal completely as a volunteer. His day job has been demanding a lot of time lately, and he has decided to step down from being the Documentation Team Leader. That means it is time to pass the torch to the next person who can then sprint with it for a while.

One great thing about the Drupal community is seeing people grow into new roles and take more responsibility upon themselves. This is certainly the case for Addison Berry (add1sun), who in her two years working with Drupal has become involved with virtually every aspect of the Drupal project. Lately Addi has been more and more active with the documentation team, making her a clear choice in my mind to carry on where Steven left off. I'm therefore very happy to announce that Addison Berry, aka add1sun, is the new documentation team leader, effective immediately.

Profile Complete Percent

Drupal Modules official - Thu, 10/09/2008 - 21:58

Profile Complete Percent (PCP) is a dependency of the Profile module in core. It allows administrators who have access to use the module the ability to tag created profile fields as items needed for a user to be 100% complete when filling out their profile information.

A block is created which can be placed anywhere on the site that by default displays the current logged in user's profile complete percent. As the user fills out more of their profile, the percent increases. Additionally, a "next" tip link is displayed informing the user that if they fill out a particular field in their profile, they will increase their profile complete percent to a specific value. A link is provided for this "next" tip, sending the user to the exact page and highlighting the exact field that they need to fill out to increase their profile percent.

CDM DataPortal

Drupal Modules official - Thu, 10/09/2008 - 11:52

If you came to this page looking only for our feature rich taxonomy browser and widget 'cdm_taxontree' you can skip some paragraphs below in order to jump right to this module.

The module 'cdm_dataportal' is an biodiversity informatics application for web publication of most data relevant for this domain of information. It is in fact a set of four modules 'cdm_api', 'cdm_portal', 'cdm_taxontree' and 'cdm_mediauri'. Together they enable Drupal to search, browse and display the biodiversity data hosted by a CDM (Common Data Model, see below) driven data store. The resulting pages of this "DataPortal" partially mimic the layout of common taxonomic books.

The 'cdm_dataportal' module set is being developed by the Botanic Garden & Botanical Museum Berlin for the European joint project EDIT (European Distributed Institute for Taxonomy). One of the major aims of EDIT is to develop a platform for biological taxonomists, covering most biodiversity related data realms. This platform for cybertaxonomy is in fact a set of distinct tools embedded into a service driven architecture. The very core of the platform is the so called Common Data Model (CDM) which integrates all relevant quasi data standards. A CDM library is being developed to provide service layers to access and modify the data stored in CDM stores. The CDM library also provides the REST service application to which the "DataPortal" connects in order to fetch data from the CDM store.
