In celebration of the new arrival soon to join the Boise Drupal User's group I've been thinking about the tools I use lately. One that I've overlooked until recently is just how handy the iPhone can be. The iPod touch is great and all, but the iPhone, with its built-in speaker is a killer tool.

First there are the wonderful Sesame Street Podcasts. Each of these short episodes is a handy little way to spend some time on learning a new word or concept. Combined with the ability to download episodes directly to the iPhone it is also a go-anywhere tool. If we're in a holding pattern here or there, waiting for a table at a restaurant or to meet someone out it's possible to have a little lesson while we wait.

Recently, however, I found an even handier use lately. It started with taking the phone in at bedtime so our little one could talk to her. One night, however, it occurred to me to use the speaker and be able to play songs from the music library. Now we have a nice wind-down playlist. We can start off singing along with the rocking of Jingle Bells and drift off with the chorus of Silent Night.

This post is a draft of the response to a forum topic on Drupal.org. The post asks about how to setup FCKeditor and how to customize the display of uploaded files.

FCKeditor

The FCKEditor module installation is a two-part process. And it sounds like the frustration is in getting the actual FCK library included. Assuming your site resides in a folder called www (or it might be called something like public_html etc. and in that case you'll substitute that directory below).

Was working on some modifications for the Print module's send to a friend functionality. In this case we have a legacy database that has several years worth of site registrations. If a user isn't registered for the site yet we want to send them an additional paragraph explaining how to get the registration code for the site.

By doing a hook_form_alter() on the send as email form it's possible to extract the submit function for the form and have our own processor handle it. Here's a way to handle splitting the members and non-members up for mailing.
