I have set up a demo of the menu creating code that I posted yesterday. Goto to myprojects

I did need to update the code a little, so I will update the other post when I get a chance.

Over the last weeks I have been doing a lot of experimenting with the new views module. I have actually been able to do some neat things with the headers like add an "A | B | C ..." to the heading to allow you to select on the nodes that begin with letter x, and allow a user to drill down on a list of terms.

But my latest has been I was able to turn a taxonomy into a set of tabs with only a single view. It actually works really well and is very good. Here is the code that does it.

Well I have finally done it and updated my site to Drupal 4.7. The main reason is the same as everyone elses and that is the formapi slowed everyone down.

Not only do have everything updated, but a lot of my custom stuff I have been able to get rid of and use standard Drupal, or my new favorite module views.

I have been able to instead of using my taxonomy_fm module that I wrote, I now use the views module with a few bits of custom php to do the job.

When I get a bit of time I am going to post the code I use for the heading.
 

I have created a new mail list to help with the development of E-Commerce so we can create the best E-Commerce when we release the 4.7 version.

To join the mail list go to

http://lists.heydon.com.au/listinfo.cgi/ecommerce-heydon.com.au

Here we will be talking about development and processes for E-Commerce. Once Dries gets back from holiday I will be discussing more with him about getting this moved to drupal.org.

Also on freenode there has been set up a new IRC chat area #drupal-ecommerce which should also help.

 

I am thinking about having a Melbourne Drupal Meetup, I am not too sure where or when we are going to have this, but I thought that firstly I would try and find all the Melbourne Drupalers and see how many are interested.

If anyone is interested you can contact me at gordon@heydon.com.au and we can arrange a time and place. 

Last week we all went away to Canberra to Sarah's sisters wedding. We were away for 6 days. During this time we diverted the home phone to Sarah's mobile so that we would not miss any calls.

Now the strange things in that during this time we received no calls from the tele markets at all. But as soon as we got home and turned off the divert, they started calling again.

I am getting really sick of it, and I really don't want to pay for the privilege of having an unlisted phone number.

Like email spam, they just about make your phone un-usable and it justs becomes a pain.
 

Well over the past couple of days I have had great fun with the what is labeled as the 4.7 download of E-Commerce on drupal.org.

What happened is that someone taged a contrib module as 4.7 and then d.o now thinks that there is a 4.7 version and creating basically a empty archive.

If you want to give 4.7 a try download the cvs version of E-Commerce and give it a go.

The more testers we have the better it will be.

Well I have been doing a little more work on getting E-Commerce to work with 4.7. Well today I have managed to get it to complete the checkout without any errors.

There are still a few contrib modules that need to be completed, but I think we can start seriously start testing it under Drupal 4.7

Everyone that has helped so far, Thanks for all you help.

As we all know Leo Laporte uses Drupal for the site TWiT, and when I was flicking though the channels and Call for Help was on and Drupal got honourable mention in the Answers to your questions on looking good in all browsers.

It is only small, but if you can get a hold of #284, it is quite cool.
 

Well the updates to the E-Commerce module is coming along great. A few days ago we had the product module working, and after a little bit of bug fixing for PHP5, I managed to get it all running, and I was able to create products.

This morning I spent a little time and got the checkoutapi working (well sort of) and now you can get all the way though to the review page without an error. There needs to be some work on the tax module, and then we should be able to create transactions.

There is a lot of things that need to be worked on.

To all those people who have helped out so far. Thanks very much but there is still plenty of work to do.
