  • Improve the user login experience in Drupal   2 weeks 2 days ago
    Also: The Already In module

    Another must have: The Already In module
    redirects authenticated users who attempt to visit the login, user registration, or password reset URLs to the /user page instead. This prevents authenticated users from getting an Access Denied error message. Optionally, the module can display a "You are already logged in" message when redirecting users.

    Marinelli Giordani

    Came across the very nice Marinelli theme and activated it!
    More appealing than the previous Aquia Marina (the latest version of has new header div layouts which would not work with my background image, so it was time to move on anyway).

     

    Out of the box dropdown menus work, no customisation needed really.

    Two initial fixes: background colour in fckeditor (http://drupal.fckeditor.net/tricks) and making the logo visible (http://drupal.org/node/603430).

     

    Being a big fan of mountains I loved the feature of being able to put many mountain shots in a rotating banner.

     

    Issue: Fckeditor "Switch to plain" editing button missing.

    MOV to swf conversion

    In a similar vien, I wanted to make flash versions of short videos made on my Lumix camera, which generates quicktime MOV files. Camstudio's producer cannot process MOV files.

    Searching the net did not help much (so much junk is shown when searching for video conversion tools) on windows, so went to experiment with ffmpeg on Linux. After experiments with the Ubuntu version in 7.04 and 8.10, I finally pulled the sources from SVN and compiled as there seem to be significant differences between versions.

    I'm stuck with the error

    Input #0, mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2, from 'grasshoppers1.MOV':

    Stream mapping:

    when doing "ffmpeg -i grasshoppers1.MOV -acodec mp3 -f swf grasshoppers1.swf" though.

    Updated to V1.5 of the theme.
    Updated to V1.5 of the theme. Removed the Acquia text added to $closure in template.php as noted above. Using FCKEditor now. Change the green part of the colour scheme to orange in local.css, and created orange images for preface-wrapper-bg.png, tab-right.png, tab-left.png. The images for the menu are not as rounded as the nice originals, more work on gradients needed! I prefer the original green, but the original fits the logo better and it allows me to learn how to modify this theme! I'm leaving the green bullets for now, they look ok. To do: the blue in the top bar, and sidebars needs to fit the logo.

    So SVN, wiki, issue tracker etc. are all there!

    VirtualDubMod and nandub can be used to do some video/sound touching up afterwards.
