graphviz or hypergraph

Mon, 2008/02/25 - 3:16pm — clemens

When making these images about modules i use graphviz to render them. But just ran into http://drupal.org/project/hypergraph which looks great.

So I have to study this one!

Commands to render a .dot file are ie with non overlapping nodes

neato -Goverlap=false -o my.neato.png -T png my.dot

or for a top down graph.

dot -T png -o my.dot.png my.dot

The attached image is an installation with the jstools, cck, views, drush, og in order to get faster user experiences.

Questions, Quizes and Answers

Mon, 2008/02/25 - 3:13pm — clemens

For interviewing or interogating people it is nice to have a prepared list of questions. What module to use?

I know of these modules.
- http://drupal.org/project/answer
- http://drupal.org/project/quiz
- http://drupal.org/project/webform

webform comes with a bunch of related modules.
- http://drupal.org/project/webform_own_results
- http://drupal.org/project/webform_annotate
- http://drupal.org/project/webform_report

I hope to find some with routing capabilities that is skipping questions.

In search of modules for faster user experience

Mon, 2008/02/25 - 3:00pm — clemens

What modules does one need to get faster user experience? This probably leads to using ajax.

One of my thought is some node/%/edit's one one page. Preferably on tabs too!

Just browsing the categories http://drupal.org/project/Modules/category/101 (javascript utilities) and content at http://drupal.org is still overwhelming.

Here is a listing with just some modules.
- http://drupal.org/project/ajaxtable
- http://drupal.org/project/autosave
- http://drupal.org/project/block_refresh
- http://drupal.org/project/compact_forms
- http://drupal.org/project/cck_fieldgroup_tabs

My drush usage

Using drush with a strict server design makes my drupal maintence much more relaxed. I have this tiny script as a runner for drush.

$ cat drush

Modules in err

Installing modules with drush is easy.

# drush pm install ubercart

My drush patch for a module manager makes it more easier to SEE what's installed.

listing# drush mm list
imagary# drush mm dot | dot -T png -o ~/graph.png

shows a module in error. (I deleted workflow_ng) scroll to the right for red
