Using the taxonomy view to change how taxonomy listings are displayed is rather nifty. However, I found myself being asked by a client to make sure the page title (ie: the taxonomy term as set by the argument) was properly title-cased. That issue comes up from time to time on the #drupal-support IRC channel, so I suspected it would be easy, as many people had done this.
… or "how I re-invented the wheel". Again
I found myself needing a tertiary menu in Drupal yesterday, which sadly it doesn't provide by default. There is a primary menu and a secondary menu that can auto-populate based on the primary menu selection, but sadly that's the level at which it stops.
Google helped me find a few blogs that show how to easily generate an arbitrary level sub-menu, though most are for D5 and not D6. Ignacio Segura amended code on this blog that makes it all work for D6:
I'm in the process of setting up Redmine (version 1.0-stable) on an Ubuntu 8.04 virtual machine. Getting a recent enough gem and rails is less fun than you might imagine, but the big issue I came across was a bug in the database model, which makes MySQL 5.1 (MariaDB 5.1 in my case) barf on installation.
There is a fix, but I am running from a git clone didn't want to download and apply a diff file to that repository. A quick google found what I need: the git cherry-pick command. It allows you to grab a single commit and apply its changes to your branch. In my case:
git cherry-pick a628b0f186cf4d182ce5cee1a497ad42c5246406
Because all commits have a unique label, when 1.0.1 is released and I update my git clone, I won't suffer merge conflicts from this already-applied change. Lovely :-)
