I’ve been playing around with Drupal for work and wanted to use mod_auth_kerb to authenticate Drupal users. The Webserver Auth module seemed helpful, but only worked in Drupal 4. I got the module working with Drupal 5.5 running on Apache 2.2.3 using mod_auth_kerb 5.1.
Link to my patch to make webserver_auth-4.7.x-1.x-dev work with Drupal 5.x
Link to documentation on updating Drupal 4.7 modules to Drupal 5.
Helping out with the AMC website, I threw together a quick Drupal 4.7 module (haven’t tested it on newer version of Drupal yet) to export user profile data generated by the profile module to a CSV file suitable for import into a spreadsheet program.
UPDATE: After searching the Drupal website, I realized that someone had already invented this wheel.
So Pages to Prisoners sells books that seem somewhat valuable and probably won’t get requested by folks in prison on Half.com as a fundraiser. All proceeds go into supplies and postage for the project. We get a lot of books sometimes, and I wanted to streamline the price lookup process. So, I made a MyCroft plugin for Half.com’s quick sell form. You can install the extension here.
My paid job is doing tech-support work and I often have to convey information to users over the phone. To make sure we’re on the same page with spellings, I use the NATO phonetic alphabet. But, I can never remember certain letters. One solution would be to just remember the NATO alphabet. Or, I could just write a Firefox extension that lets you select text, click on “Show NATO Phonetics” in the context menu, and get a popup of the phonetics for the selected text.
