Drupal

New Drupal theme - serene

I'm going to release the theme that drives this Drupal installation. I'm calling the theme 'serene' since the theme is a little mellow. The theme can be seen in action at test.willwyatt.com. The code for the theme can be found here.

Spellcheck module

I've completely rewritten the old 4.5 spellcheck module. I'm ready to 'release' the module and wonder what I'm supposed to do now. I could create a patch, but there is almost nothing that remains from the old spellcheck module. This is also my first module for Drupal, so I'm hoping I've done everything correctly.

So what should I do now?

The module uses the GPL'ed Speller Pages from http://spellerpages.sourceforge.net and requires aspell on the server. You can try it out at http://test.willwyatt.com you can login as testuser/testuser and create a blog entry. There should be a 'Check Spelling' button below the body form element.

The module only works with 4.7 and has only been tested against 4.7 CVS.

The module really is just a front end to aspell, so your mileage may vary depending on your aspell installation.

Code is available here.

To Do...

Here are the things I'm still working on...

Caveat emptor...

I've only tested the views module against CVS. I'm running Drupal CVS and the HEAD Views module.

I had several bugs right of the bat that were caused by not running the HEAD version of the Views module. If you run into a problem, check the View issue log to see if there is a patch or if your problem has been solved.

How I began using the Views module

This book will be a group of pages about issues and 'how-to' I've figured out how to do with the excellent Views module from Drupal.org.

merlinofchaos is the Views author and he's to be commended for a great module. The functionality is amazing. The module is still beta and the documentation is somewhat outdated or sometimes missing. Hopefully this book can help fill in the gaps for people until the documentation is fully complete.
