  • Media Mover 6 Alpha is out   1 year 41 weeks ago

    Wow, I'll get on upgrading that Asset module! Congrats to you!

  • Media Mover 6 Alpha is out   1 year 41 weeks ago

    Nice work Arthur! I'm relealing the Drupal 6 version of the asset module today so I'll double check the mm_asset module. "Horray" and "It is about time" indeed for the both of us :)
    I'm currently reviewing Aaron's "Drupal Multimedia" book and there's a nice part about Media Mover in Chapter 7: File Asset Management:

    • Media Mover
    • Media Mover Processes
    • Media Mover in Action
    • It contains the note that by the time the book comes out, Media Mover might not have been ported to Drupal 6 yet. I'm glad it did!

  • Auto Link TinyMCE Images   1 year 41 weeks ago

    Img_assist does help out in this regard, but it is not exactly the solution I want- ultimately tinymce should have more options in its image function.

  • Drupal CVS/SVN module script   1 year 44 weeks ago

    update_status works fine with CVS versions as long as you have the cvs_deploy module enabled.

    In terms of getting drush working, if you need to add a drushrc.php file to your site folder (next to settings.php) that specifies the Drupal root folder and domain to use for that site - e.g.

    $options['l'] = 'http://localhost/mysite';
    $options['r'] = '/home/myuser/workspace/drupal-6/';

  • Drupal CVS/SVN module script   1 year 45 weeks ago

    I have been using an alias in .bash_profle for this, but this looks like it might be more useful. There's only so much you can do with aliases: alias drupal-checkout="cvs -d :pserver:anonymous:anonymous@cvs.drupal.org:/cvs/drupal checkout -d"

    First off- thanks this is really great!

    Second, I am working in Druapl 5... I can't seem to find the XSPF filter in views... anyone know if I am missing something simple? Thanks!

  • Media Mover 6x Status   1 year 46 weeks ago

    Hey Arthur-

    I'd love to help out on documentation... I'm based down in Los Angeles & really active in the user community down here. I've been using Drupal for well over three years, but have been struggling with the complex setup of getting all the modules working together. I'm not sure if its versions mismatch, setup in wrong order, or I'm just tired and dimwitted.

    MM itself has been pretty straightforward, but to get the FLV_MediaPlayer to work with a custom content has been a real pain. I'm simply not sure where things are falling down.

    I'm on IRC most days with a nick of MediaDoneRight. Please feel free to at least say hi, maybe even offer a few words of encouragement or thoughts on how to proceed. Heck, hopefully even be setup by time you see this. ;-)

    Cheers!

    ... and thanks for all the work on MediaMover and related modules

  • Drupal CVS/SVN module script   1 year 46 weeks ago

    ya, im not huge on drush / update_status module setups yet.

    update_status requires non cvs versions.

    drush, i so far haven't dug into as much as i like, and i do like what it can do, but so far from what little time i have spent on it, i haven't found it able to handle my custom file structure where I use sym links to bring in custom / contrib modules and themes into the core code base so its easier to maintain.

    if im just being a retard about this and missing something, please tell me. lol.

  • Drupal CVS/SVN module script   1 year 46 weeks ago

    wow, i just wrote a small script a few days ago to do basically the same thing.

    great minds think alike :)

    Hello,

    I just read your post here. This is exactly what I need. I prepared a scope with some customization and was wondering if you are interested in doing the web development for me.

    Thank you up front.

    Best,

  • Craig's List Scam   2 years 41 weeks ago

    Oh by the way, is there some where I can report this? And just so you know it happened to me from Facebook Marketplace.

  • Craig's List Scam   2 years 41 weeks ago

    OH MY GOD! I googled "usps scam" today and I just sent out a PS2 and games yesturday. I'm currently trying VERY hard to get purolator to stop the shipment!!!! After reading your stuff I thought parts of your experience were just way to familiar sounding and then the cleancher that I was being scammed was that your usps money order thing you showed had THE SAME CREDIT CARD NUMBER AS MINE!!!! I wasn't sure till I saw that. Thanks for putting this on here! Hopefully I can get my PS2 back before those A$$holes get their hands on it!!!

  • Craig's List Scam   2 years 46 weeks ago

    Hmmm I was selling a Panasonic DVD Burner on craigslist and was contacted by "Sara Brown"

    • broken english
    • asked an incredibly STUPID question in their first email to me, I listed the item as NEW in BOX, never opened and "she" emails me with:

      Hey i am intrested in buying your item...I will love to know the level
      of the item if it is still working perfectly and know if it is still
      for sell...I will be looking forward to your response asap
      today...Thanks...

    • I KNEW this deal wasn't on the level - glad I found this post! ThanX

    -Her email address is sarabrown05@gmail.com
    BEWARE!

  • A Drupal youtube Site Recipe   2 years 50 weeks ago

    This is great. I have searched so hard to find something like this. I'm working on a fitness training website. The only difference with this is that users won't be able to upload their own videos. However, they can watch and download the videos to play on their computers and/or in other portable video formats according to their preferences.

    Storing the videos on my website is my best move due to copyright issues.

  • Craig's List Scam   2 years 51 weeks ago

    Yeah, I almost got scammed through the craigslist by an "aussie" chick with horribly broken English. Had things gone her way, I would have been out about three grand. I thought it odd how she never sent any info with her cashiers check and that the return address was from Houston. The cowgirl went outback and thought she could have a little fun. Oh, well. She is the only one out the pricing for the FedEx overnight shipping of the check.

    If you ever get a check in the mail with no personal tags accompanying it, take it to a bank teller and verify that the check is good. DO NOT DEPOSIT IT. I only caught on that this thing was a scam when I tried to cash part of it and found out that the account on which the check was based had closed three months prior. If you ever run into a "talk2cynthiawilliams@hotmail.com," tell her that Mel sends her love with a machette. Even though I wasn't out of any money, I still feel like smacking myself in the head for believing her cop-out story. GRRRR.

    Wonderful site you have going on! I'm going to share it with mah friends, ^_^

    Unfortunately, video is complicated, but there is lots of really good information out there to help you figure out what your issues are. Good luck!
