Do It With Drupal Printable Schedule

Submitted by Mark Jarrell on Thu, 10/06/2011 - 11:18

Just in case anyone else wants a printer-friendly version before Tuesday's conference. Thank you PosteRazor for helping me split up this big image into multiple pages!

Yes, I've got the iPhone app, but I wanted a paper copy to have on the plane ride too. :)

Places That Don't Accept Discover Credit Card

Submitted by Mark Jarrell on Wed, 07/20/2011 - 20:08

I was recently talked into continuing to use my Discover card by one of their sales associates. I haven't found a great resource online yet that lists the national chain stores that do not accept the Discover credit card, so I thought I'd make a list myself. Perhaps others will comment and add more to this list in order to make a resource for others who are searching Google for a list such as this.

Presentation on Building a Mobile Drupal Site

Submitted by Mark Jarrell on Thu, 05/05/2011 - 07:07

I was lucky enough to be able to give another presentation at this year's excellent DrupalCamp Nashville, sponsored by Music City Networks, 7 Sudos, Tropo, The Tennessean, and a number of other splendid companies. This year, I decided to present on the Austin Peay State University mobile website that I've been building for the past few months along with the help of interns Jason Bell, Brian Barbour, APSU staff Rollow Welch, Terry Damron, Bill Persinger, and Ryan Forsythe.

Adding an Additional CCK Validation Function on a Field Using hook_form_alter

Submitted by Mark Jarrell on Fri, 12/03/2010 - 12:51

Although CCK automatically does some basic validation on your fields that you add to your Drupal content types, there are some cases where you'd like to do some additional validation for your site. One use case that I ran into recently was a basic text field that was being used to house hyperlinks for one of my websites. The text field had already been in place and working perfectly for months. Rather than do something drastic like replacing the field altogether with a field provided by the "Link" module, I decided to do a hook_form_alter to add in my own custom validation function.
