I stumbled upon Mail Carbon the other day, a great little open source app @ sourceforge (http://mailcarbon.calfater.com/) that allows you to specify 2 IMAP servers & the user's account information, which then transfers all of the email from the old to the new, maintaining hierarchy (folders) and all of the good stuff that we get out of IMAP.

It's always good to see larger organizations and businesses leveraging things like Drupal to help their communities.

Because of Drupal's great taxonomy system, as well as solid stuff like nodes, webforms, and comments, they've provided a very intuitive, simple, and well mapped system -- at a fraction of what it would have cost them to build from scratch.

Performing SEO can be a time consuming task. While proper (non-spam) SEO should be done by hand, there are a few apps and other quick methods out there that are useful for keyword analysis & generally making you more efficient at the process.

A lot of my clients use different email system to handle their marketing campaigns. Whether it's RatePoint, Constant Contact, or some of their own proprietary platforms, they are all running into the same problem -- most modern email systems don't display inline images by default. This gives them the fear that their mailings are giving an even lower return rate to an already low rate. I tend to think that the people who pay attention to email-based advertisements are pretty likely to hit the "always display images from this sender" button, but you can never be sure.

The steps below will allow you to restrict the US States that a user can pick from when checking out in Ubercart. This was useful for me when a client needed to restrict shipping bottles of wine to various states that don't allow that sort of thing.

A really dumb issue in Windows 7 popped up on my dad's computer recently and took quite some time to fix. I was migrating some files across the network from his old laptop to his new laptop and bam -- suddenly explorer windows disappeared, all icons on the dock turned into white, and trying to run any program (including cmd, notepad, regedit, regsvr32, control panel, etc.) or open a new explorer windows gave me errors like this:

No such interface supported.

The parameter is incorrect.

People in every sector of the web development community have heard of or use Google Analytics. It's a full fledged, corporate-level web traffic analyzer. It gives great insight into your content popularity, visitor characteristics, and more, and has some very cool (and easy to setup) reporting abilities. Being a fan of the open-source world and a generally "stay away from the man" minded user, I'm always trying out low-cost / no-cost alternatives to the big guns. In this case Google Analytics is free, but.. still. They are a giant.

My rss feeds in a Drupal install were showing an invalid character name error in Internet Explorer and were forcing a file download / save file dialogue in Firefox and others. I couldn't get them to display in-browser like they should have and couldn't figure out the issue!
 

I'm sure there are more reasons than just this, but it may come in handy to those that run into a 500 server error after enabling new modules or content-types.

Open up your .htaccess file and comment out "Options +FollowSymLinks" by adding a # in front of this line. Save, upload, and refresh your page.

Additionally, forcing php5 instead of version 4 may help this. You can do so by adding

AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
AddHandler x-mapp-php5 .php

to your .htaccess file.

I use a neat semi-solution. Check your account settings @ evernote.com and look for your evernote email address. If you're not aware of this feature -- it allows you to send an email to an address you have been assigned; it will store that as a note in your evernote, setting the subject as the note name and the body as the note contents. If you assign this email address as a shortcut on your BlackBerry, you can hit that button to send a note to your evernote acct from your blackberry, and it's a hell of a lot easier than using browser and logging in to your account to send notes...
