In my previous blog entry, http://fountain-city.com/blog/how-deploy-code-your-shared-host-while-sti..., I went over different version control tools. But since then I found out that I can actually install mercurial on a shared host via python scripts.

Now that python makes it possible to have mercurial on my shared host, there is really no reason to use GitHub or SVN anymore for my code development.

Git to update to the latest version of my Drupal files, Mercurial to update my website to the latest development release.

Looking through the internet, there is a hidden feature in FCKEDITOR, most of you probably know how to enable the spell checker, but few know how to turn off the right-click context menu.

Hello world, so we have a new site launched: Verification Academy
this site was co-developed with OMBU Web
This has been a long ongoing project and most of the site will be, unfortunately, hidden behind authorized doors. If you do happen to be a company that has need for software that can help you to control the quality of your hardware devices, then this might be the perfect website for you.

you may have heard of Bx-Slider Which is a javascript / jquery carousel system. We recently integrated this carousel into a Drupal project but found some places where it could be improved. Namely it had the following issues:

So it turns out that if you wanted to set up XHProf locally, that you would need to do a lot of steps to get it set up; at least on your Mac and I think on Windows as well.
 
Since my server is running Unix, spending a lot of time to do this didn't make a lot of sense. Just grabbing xTools can take a while cause the download is over 3GBs!
 

XHProf was developed by facebook as a tool to diagnose heavy or slow responce areas of a website. This tool has now been used on several of our websites to diagnose and finetune the effectiveness of various queries in mySQL and PHP. The tool is free to use, and quite good. If you wish to know more about it, here are links to the xhprof documentation and also a link to where you can download the install files for xhprof.

Well, it turns out that if you are setting your $cookie_domain in the settings.php file, and you also want to use domain redirection to point your www site to your non-www site [for SEO purposes] your cookie_domain setting in your settings.php file will need to be edited.
 
The settings.php file says to set it as follows:
 
$cookie_domain = "example.com"
 
However you need to add a DOT to the front of it!
 
$cookie_domain = ".example.com"
 

Not sure why this is so hard to find for Ubercart 2, Drupal 6; but if you were to download the contrib module you get nothing but a Google Merchant Developer field in your settings panel, and no RSS feed what-so-ever.

On the internet, I had found information on how to import blogger into Drupal 5, but not into Drupal 6. So this has prompted me to present the information for the community at large, here is how the code was adapted for Drupal 6, thanks inpart too to a fellow developer I work with: Brush. On the web, I had found:
