Migrating Cousin Rob’s www.DRUMSTHEWORD.com website from his 6 year old Drupal6 website to a new (hopefully sexier) WordPress4 website has meant a lot of data cleansing before golive. Before we get any comments about Drupal vs. WordPress, or a CMS flamewar, the new website was chosen to be on WordPress because of WOOCOMMERCE and a …
I’m tweaking a customers website today and spending time tidying up some small issues. One of these issues was to display map widgets, more than one, multiple google maps widget for each of the companies three offices. This would have been super easy using a CMS like Drupal but this is to be added to …
If you have a Drupal website then you will be well aware of the near daily battle with annoying spam trying to get a free ride of your sites visitors. Obviously, I’m not talking about the delicious pinkish world war two meaty thing made of Pork, water, sugar and some starchy stuff… but instead, I’m …
So, I’m sitting here in Starbucks mentally groaning at the weakness of the Wifi (but not my Grande, quad shot, low fat milk, 2 pump caramel latte) and I see a mailshot from the chaps (and chappette) at System i Developer announcing they have launched a new blog. Hosted by their own IBM i Power …
I’ve been busy doing real work the last few evenings and seeing my wonderful kids (but HEY I’m biased) so the time I had planned for this website revamp has just kind of drifted away like smoke through my fingers. I managed to grab a few hours this evening and have just completed the Drupal …
This week I have been mainly using ERPAL. If you have no point of reference with ‘The Fast Show’ then just ignore this and read on… So, I’ve been playing with Drupal and the wonderful ERPAL Project Management module this week – I found an annoying problem where I thought I was caught between a …
Oh its horrible when Drupal decides it’s got a headache and throws an error message out: I THINK THEREFORE IBM-i [ home of NICK LITTEN – IBMi Developer and Geek-a-holic ] Error The website encountered an unexpected error. Please try again later. I’ve had a few head scratchers over my time and as this website …
So, for the last several months I’ve been getting this very annoying drupal error message on virtually every page on the website: Notice: unserialize() [function.unserialize]: Error at offset 1066 of 1068 bytes in variable_initialize() (line 943 of /home/projex/www/www/includes/bootstrap.inc). I had researched it… tried hacking some little PHP snippets… tried cleaning up the SQL database… all …
Over the years this website has been through many, many changes – from HTML to Flash to Joomla to WordPress and finally to Drupal. A couple of years ago, I decided to import lots of my old programming and AS400 specific documentation into the website and imported everything in Drupal ‘forums’. Primarily as an easy …
Those KEYWORD CLOUDS that you see on some websites are cool aren’t they!?! They’re also very simple to use in Drupal… but as I discovered… not so simple to setup. Or at least to find out how to setup anyway. So, for my failing memory and for anyone else out there that this may assist …
A few years ago I setup the website for Bullworker UK who were distributing this excellent exercise device called – The Bullworker. It’s a stretchy muscle builder and really does work (honestly!). They sold a few different exercise devices all designed using the principles of ‘isometric exercise’: Bullworker, Steelbow and a German product called the …
Why is it that as I get older my fingers, instead of becoming increasingly skillful on the keyboard – they are becoming more and more like a bunch of half-thawed walls sausages. Don’t get me wrong, I’m as passionate about a well cooked sossy-sarnie as the next man… personally I’m all about grilling them to …
