Better Exposed Filters module

A few months ago, I worked out a method to make a [Drupal] Views "exposed filter" dropdown appear as checkboxes. I posted it on two Drupal.org forums about the same issue.

Drupal developer Mike Keran adopted the method for a new module, Better Exposed Filters. He introduces it on his blog here.

Nice work Mike, and thanks for giving me credit.

Twitpic Filter for Drupal

Update 11/10/09: I've released a dev snapshot of the module. The filter works by itself but conflicts with other filters.

Update 2/22/10: New beta release, fixed all the known issues.

Read more details and download here: http://drupal.org/project/twitpic_filter.

I'm working on a module, soon to be released, that pulls Twitpic photos (from Twitter feeds, such as the one I use on my blog) into a Drupal site.

Environments module for Drupal

[Updated 7/20/09: The module is now live on drupal.org, so I have removed the tarball from here.]

http://drupal.org/project/envts

Envts (Environments) module

This module was created to fill the need for *two-dimensional* environment/host management.

* What's an environment? An environment is a development or server location where a full Drupal build (possibly including multiple hosts) is set up. In our work, we tend to have

1) a primary 'dev' environment (site.dev.ourwork.com),

2) local environments for each developer (site.dev.local),

3) a staging environment (staging.site.com),

4) a live site (www.site.com), etc.

But each of these can have multiple hosts, making the number of actual hosts to track and toggle grow exponentially. The domain_access module does a good job of tracking hosts, but in only one environment. The Envts module simplifies the process of managing these sites.
