Content management systems

Someone on the Drupal Dev list asked what to do when his custom module's CSS wasn't showing up. This is the quick checklist I sent in reply:

In order:

0. Make extra-sure your module's enabled on admin/build/modules

1. Check your drupal_add_css() call. Should look roughly like:
drupal_add_css(drupal_get_path('module', 'MYMODULE') .'/css/MYMODULE.css');

2. Make sure you're doing drupal_add_css() inside hook_init()

Today I got a tweet from @ChristianHudon who had seen our Lavalamp menu implementation on b4blinds.com:

@entendu I love this menu: http://www.b4blinds.com/ Care sharing howto?

So, Christian, here's how to:

First, javascript
Go snag the jQuery Lavalamp plugin and drop it in your /misc directory.

I have never understood the excitement behind Drupal install profiles. They purport to cut development time significantly and bring Drupal closer to the masses. Kris at The Worx Company calls them "a game changer for the entire CMS market." The patterns project has been long in development to provide platform to deploy install profiles to multiple sites.

For those eagerly awaiting the next member of the Drupal family, WorkHabit is proud to announce Rupal, the CMS designed exclusively for our valued cross-dressing community members.

Core modules include automatic pronoun feminization, rounded corners on everything, and auto-filtering of "it's a trap!" comments. Over 9,000 hours have been put into lovingly crafting the first community release.
