We are pleased to announce that this month Computerminds have gone global - taking on clients in North America, India and Israel! The Minds carried out a rapid Drupal upgrade on the popular http://wwww.anthropology.net - taking the site from a creaking 4.6 based banger to a whiz bang super fast 5.1 based speed machine.
I'll keep this one nice and short - and hopefully save a couple of people participating in a bit of self inflicted baldness! Installing the TinyMCE module (a nice WYSIWYG editor) in Drupal 5 should be a breeze. Basically you copy the module into your modules directory. Then hit the TinyMCE site and download the latest version of the TinyMCE javascript/images - which you put into the tinymce directory in your modules directory. You then...
We inherited another site today, with an interesting problem (actually it has many problems but that's another story). When the Drupal cache is enabled totally blank pages are often displayed.

This looked suspiciously like a mail header injection problem. Even though the server was not currently sending out any spam we figured that at some point in the past...
We have had a few situations now where we have needed to send out a newsletter to all our users, only to find that non of them have bothered to sign up to it! So like true marketeers (were not really!) we wanted a way to have our users signed up to the newsletter automatically - whilst still giving them the option of un-subscribing. The module is pretty simple, and currently only works on Drupal...
Its been 2 months since the release of Drupal 5 and we have been busy upgrading plenty of client's sites, but as is so often the case we neglected our own! Until now that is. The upgrade was pretty pain free - but then we only have a few pages! We also moved a few things around and added some extra links for that all important SEO stuff.
