BRING DOWN IE6

Very interesting website about bringing down Internet Explorer 6. As far as I am concerned, no one in the world should use IE6 ever again and pretty much all the sites should warn and force users to switch to much better alternatives like Fire Fox, Safari and Chrome web browsers.

How to go back to an older version of Mozilla FireFox on Ubuntu Natty Narwhal.

I need to connect to my company's vpn using F5 vpn pluggin, it is a web-based vpn client that my company uses for remote connections to their network.

I upgraded my home computer to Ubuntu 11 Natty Narwhal and lost the ability to connect because FireFox 4 has no support for F5 plugin. I was forced then to revert or downgrade my version of FireFox to 3.6, but this was not as simple as I thought.

Retrieve cck node form array

The code bellow is to be used in any module. It requires cck module to be installed. The advantage of this code is that it allows you to use labels and field definitions done through the cck ui. It allowed me to build a custom form based in the fields previously defined, it saves time and keeps your custom form consistent with the content type form.

Drupal 6 Multistep Form Oddities - $form_state empty

pedro — Mon, 22 Mar 2010 13:47:15 -0400

Interesting link about drupal multi-step forms loading twice problem.

I created a form using drupal's form api or FAPI. The form would load twice on the first submission. The first time the $form_state['storage'] goes empty and the second time is populated. I wanted to use $form_state to store some values and do some checks.

Very handy simple list of country names. I use this list for country select boxes or drop down boxes all the time.
