Printer-friendly versionThis website is powered by Drupal, an open source Content Management System (CMS). In addition to the Drupal base system, I've implemented the following modules/enhancements:
Drupal Modules:
Captcha for spam control and to help make sure only humans can create new user accounts (as opposed to spamBots). reCaptcha is used in conjunction with this module to enhance security & generate a slicker looking UI
tinyMCE for rich HTML editing of content. Also includes some minor toolbar enhancements as per DomeMinion's solution, and this patch here http://drupal.org/node/280817.
Tagadelic for creating a content tag cloud based on my content taxonomy
Google Analytics for tracking and analyzing visitors
Http Request Fail Reset patch to handle occasional htttp request failures
Printer, Email and PDF Version to allow easy printing of nodes
Drupal Themes:
Garland_Dropmenu with the optional IE6 fix to correct the width of the menus in WW3 non-compliant IE6. Nocturnal is the current color theme which was selected through the color module.
Hosting:
The site is hosted by LogicWeb and the core applications (Drupal and Gallery) were installed via the CPanel's Fantastico system. Fantastico greatly simplifies application and database setup & allows users to install and maintain a variety of different web applications.
Drupal cron tasks are handled via a 15 minute cron job that uses the following CPanel "Standard" interface command line "php /home/jdefay/public_html/jason/cron.php". In Drupal 6.8 I modified my /includes/bootstrap.inc file accordig to the folowing post & that got my cron job working properly.
