Technische Blogs

: Login Destinations
A while ago I decided it was easier for people who have an account on this site to get redirected to a kind of overview page which shows the latest content (kind of like the block on the front page but with some more options). So I googled and found a very easy way to do this, with Triggers and Actions, the Triggers module is part of the Drupal 7 core so I didn't have to bother with extra modules, it looked like perfect solution. Define an action which redirect the user to a certain page Connect the trigger "After a user logs in" to the action defined in step 1 Easy right? Until someone...
Technisch: Hackers, Crackers en Scriptkiddo's
Ik moet weer eens een stukje ergernis kwijt, dit keer over de term Hacker . Dit blogje is wel een beetje van een technische aard maar vooral bedoeld om eindelijk eens iets duidelijk te maken aan mensen die niet zo technisch zijn en het gaat eigenlijk over woorden en terminologie, niet de techniek, vandaar dat het toch een 'personal' blog is geworden. Definities De media smijt te pas en te onpas met de term Hacker , maar eigenlijk halen ze meerdere termen door elkaar, een korte definitie van de verschillende termen: Hacker - Iemand die code in elkaar hacked of bestaande code hacked, dit is...
: Popular content block
As most of you probably have noticed I added a popular content block to the blogs and stories sections. This is a view which uses the internal Drupal counters to see which content is accessed most in the past day and which in total. Surprisingly enough these counters are wildly inaccurate because they count search engines as well! So on any given day my Facebook Denied blog is most popular because it has more links on this site leading to the item then most of my other blogs have. Of course this is not satisfactory because this makes the popular block worthless basically... I also got amazed...
: New menu structure
As you can see I was getting a bit tired of the old menu structure, the menu's were annoying on a mobile device and some became so long that my site re-sized to a height to accommodate the menu while the content ended like 400 pixels higher in some cases. The last thing was of course just me being a prick and wanting to have stuff perfect. So, while still in place the top menu doesn't expand anymore (except the home button for the and about / contact pages which no-one ever uses), this has become the main navigation menu which only contains links to the different content sections. Each...
: Rate
Yesterday I implemented the Rate module in Drupal 7 on this website. It is now possible to give a thumbs up or down for my blog, drawings and photo galleries. I have my doubts if people actually will use it, but hey, because we can we implement it This module will give a percentage of how many people liked or disliked something, when no one has voted yet it will default be 50% like and 50% dislike. If one person likes something it will be 100%/0%, two likes and one dislike will result in 66%/33%, etc... For the photo galleries the voting will be for the whole gallery and not the individual...
