We've had a few inquiries lately on tools to use to check for ADA compliance and questions related to accessibility. One of the best 'go to" resources I've found is WebAIM (http://www.webaim.org).

Sam and I have been working on mobile styles the past few weeks and today I have made them live on DOR's main website. Last week we got a mobile style switcher put in place (to switch from the mobile version to the desktop version) and it has been enabled on SEMA's site, and MoB

Sam added the ability when using the mobile style sheet to switch from desktop to mobile, and vice versa. You can find these changes by cloning or pulling the repository from Moforge.

Later versions of TortoiseHg check for a valid SSL certificates when accessing a repository using https. The certificate used on Moforge is self-signed and therefore will cause TortoiseHg to throw an error when accessing the site.

While working on a Wordpress project recently, we came across a situation where the Wordpress admin bar was not displaying how we wanted it to. The "Edit Page" menu item had been replaced with "Edit Category". It turns out wp_reset_query() function was the solution.

I have added a couple really new cool things to assets! Sam Minter (thank you Sam!) has worked up a mobile style sheet for the 960 grid to collapse it for mobile use by using CSS media queries (detecting the size/resolution of the screen and applying the mobile styles). Nice work Sam!

Modules are the primary means by which we extend the functionality of Drupal. By using the Drupal API and conventions to add features, we ensure that our own additions will work well with other modules and third-party code.
In this entry, I'm going to explain the development of a very simple module that adds a jQuery "scroll to top" button to a Drupal site. This is an implementation of a technique described on webdesignerwall.com, found recently by Mike Roling. By no means will this entry give a comprehensive overview of Drupal module development, but it should provide a good starting point.

One of the things we wanted to add to the new DMD site was a KnowledgeBase that worked kind of like a StackOverflow Q&A system. No such module exists at present, though there are some recipes available online for building a system like that using a variety of other modules. While this works fine, you get both better performance and easier duplication on other Drupal sites with a module. This seemed like a perfect opportunity to learn to build a Drupal module that adds a complete feature set from scratch.

Have you ever gone to insert a link on Facebook and the page you want to link to has no images available? I found this on the hard way with agrimissouri's new site. All the backgrounds are being pulled in via CSS so Facebook couldn't target any images in the page.
