jQuery

Installed new jQZoom module!

I'm testing the new jQZoom module (still in development).  That said, it's a pretty cool tool!

Just installed Cumulus Module

on Tuesday, 20th October 2009 - 13:24

The Cumulus Module in Drupal creates the funky flash(?) driven animated tag cloud that you see on my page. The instructions were pretty simple - to download the module and also download a cumulus.js file to the cumulus directory. 

Thereafter, the really tricky bit was to find the 'number' of my tags vocabulary.  When you're on your taxonomy page roll your mouse over 'edit vocabulary' for your desired vocab - in my case 'Tags' to find out which number it is (in this case #4).

Learning to use jQuery with Drupal

on Sunday, 13th September 2009 - 17:38

I started by looking at jQuery UI to see what can be done with jQuery.  Then I had the problem of trying to figure out how to incorporate these into my website.  I came across an excellent post by Sean Buscay titled "Where and How to Start using jQuery to Enhance your Drupal Site (jQuery Mini-series Part 3 of 3)".  

Twiddling our thumbs in France

on Friday, 11th September 2009 - 6:20

In France for another week - all documents for entering the US have been obtained and we're good to go.  I'm dreading the re-shuffle of things in our bags to ensure that the weight is all within the requirments of Iceland Air. 

For the moment, we're working diligently on minor projects (and in Steph's case major ones as the RDF in Drupal 7.x core does not come lightly).  I've taken the time to update all the websites I have in my keeping with the latest and greatest versions of Drupal and respective modules being used.  I've also re-themed my site to be a little more flexible and to have a cleaner layout.  This was done by combining the images from Theme 008 with the functionality of Blog Grail. I'm also tinkering with jQuery and css to teach myself more about how they can used.
