Drupax

in anticipation of Drupals impending 6 release, i am proud to present a small, nicely wrapped pre release gift:

the Drupal 6 API documentation in CHM format. one compact, hyperlinked, fully indexed, searchable and bookmarkable file for offline reading, generated automatically by Doxygen. may the hooks be with you!

• Doxygen: updated to 1.5.5-20080420 (after an update to 1.5.5-20080325 2 weeks ago)
• Doxygen: added CVS $Id$ info (e.g. 1.37 2008/03/17 16:53:58 dries) to core files (via FILE_VERSION_FILTER)
• CSS float fixes

i finally found some time to update this site from the ancient 4.3 (which didn't really work with php5) to the current 4.7. i had to disable some hacks (a php block, a php footer) and some modules (project, notify, weblink), but all in all, it went quite smoothly. most time, as always, went into the theme (a modified chameleon) and into the primary links (adding menu items - or taxo terms - still is a pain: "add item", edit item, submit, "add item", edit item, submit, ... couldn't there be a nice ajax way or something without so many server roundtrips? or is there?!).

i appreciate feedback and comments.

it's april 1 - time for a little joke again. this is how my phpinfo() (the start) looks today:

[update, sometime in 2007: as there are now many css / dhtml menu modules in drupal (search http://drupal.org/project/Modules/name for "menu", and you get nice modules such as SimpleMenu "Nice Menus", "Javascript Tools"' Activemenu, etc.), this one here is discontinued and shouldn't been used anymore.]

a follow-up to css / dhtml dynamic drupal navigation menu. thanks moshe for pushing ;)

update-junky i am, i once again updated some software running on this site to their latest versions.

i finally found the time (getting harder with the new job) to implement a dynamic / expandable navigation menu for drupal. you can see it in action on this very site. no more 3+ click-and-waits to get to a certain sub-entry - it's all there by just hovering the mouse over any collapsed entry. i'm quite excited about this ;).

i thought i would never fix this - but i finally found the css bug that caused the contents of the left blocks to be moved far down below the last line of center content / the right blocks in IE. which made the site look quite strange, to say the least. the reason was this rule in drupal.css:

and added a "site news" rss feed

update 2004-Jan-23: i moved the Drupal Doxygen HOWTO to the Developer's guide at drupal.org.

CVS Monitor is now 0.6.3 beta. had to fix some bugs to get it working. also fixed 2 bugs with this site [1] [2].
