development

I want to build some flash games. Just for fun? Yes and no.

Yes because it's fun to learn ActionScript. No because I hope to make money some day.

Some pointers for my system setting which is linux
- ActionScript Language Reference
- a swf compiler and more
- swftools

My first trials ended with a moving square rotating on click ... not very ... but I have some idea how it works.

What is the best way to translate a relational database into a drupal based site.

In looking for modules i ran into the next modules.

nodefamily looks promissing to navigate through nodes. It promisses to be a directed graph so it MUST BE cool ;-)

views_fusion makes it possible to create joined views "fuse multiple views into one" It looks unmaintained since may 2007.

nodehierarchy looks like nodefamily.

It's amazing to see so many modules being converted.

I definitely needs to start converting my modules too!

It take quite some time to upgrade my modules. I guess coder.module will help a lot with all hints.

Writing an article without pointer is pointless. So here is a start.

Version dependencies are described here http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html

For a functional dependency specification (Nix and NixOS) see

• the paper of Eelco Dolstra http://www.cs.uu.nl/~eelco/pubs/nspfssd-lisa2004-final.pdf
• the developers manual http://nix.cs.uu.nl/dist/nix/nix-0.11/manual/#chap-package-management
• the project homepage http://nix.cs.uu.nl/nixos/index.html

Call me stupid but I thought it was easy. Building a new payment method.

I know drupal development a little. I read the core_systems and ubercart_hooks. No sweat developing this new payment method.

I want to create a edit node into a block with ajax submit.

I wanted to try panels 2 minipanel with a node%/edit override together. But some hour later ... nothing found yet.

This raw view may be handy: http://drupal.org/node/48816

But why not using some php? Below is a raw version


<?php
global $user;

$sql = "select nid from {node} where uid == %d";
$result = db_query( db_rewrite_sql( $sql), $user->uid);
$row = db_fetch_array( $result);

if( isset( $row) && isset( $row['nid']){
$node = node_load( 30);
print drupal_get_form($node->type .'_node_form', $node);
}
