Blogs of Indy

Upcomming plans for Blogs of Indy

I haven’t posted an update for Blogs of Indy in a while.  I wanted everyone to know that I’ve been hard at work on coding and haven’t had a change to blog out it.  Here are some upcoming plans.

New Version of Feedapi Taxonomy Compare

I release a new version of my Drupal  FeedAPI Taxonomy Compare Module.  I found a bug in how the new term was being related to the node.  I was using taxonomy_node_save function from taxonomy.module.  One of the first lines of code in that function is “taxonomy_node_delete_revision($node);” which removes all terms from the node.  Well I was including the current terms in what I was sending this function.  Only the new term.  So the end result was that all of the terms were removed exce

FeedAPI Taxonomy Compare Module

So I’ve done it.  My first contributed module.  I’m not say it’s good or going to change they way you use Drupal but it’s useful for me.  Since I’ve been working on my RSS aggregate site www.blogsofindy.com, I have needed more control over how the feeds are being pulled in.  I put together this module to give me more control over Taxonomy.  If you use FeedAPI check it out and give me your thoughts.

More features for the Blogger

Apparently Google indexed the bogsofndy.com site and notified a few of the blog owners that their content was being published.  This was unfortunate because they saw the site before it was ready.  After a few email discussions they were on board with my idea.  I was also able to pull some good suggestions.  I now understand how passionate many bloggers are about their content.  This has lead me to add some features that will benefit the bloggers.

Blogs of Indy Update

I have made alot of progress since my last posting about Blogs of Indy.  I have completed another module.  This time I am going to release it to the general public.  I’m currently waiting on my drupal cvs account approval.

Blogs of Indy Version 0.0000001

I have completed the first version of Blogs of Indy.  http://blogsofindy.com.  This is a very early version and I still have a lot to work to do (see pervious posts).  You can get the general idea though.

My first Drupal Module

I did it.  A huge milestone in my Drupal development life.  I completed my first custom module.  While at this point it would only work on my site (I hard coded the name of content types and some other variables from the notification module) but it works. I have attached it but know that you can’t just add it to your site.  At minimum you might have to change the name of the feed-item content type on line 85.
