Drupal: Disable region on certain url path

Submitted by kamal on Tue, 06/01/2009 - 16:12

Need to disable 'region' on certain url path such as 'admin' or 'edit'. Previously it did involve hacking the core block.module (not me).

Submitted by kamal on Fri, 26/12/2008 - 15:17

The 'disable-richtext' link doesn't work. It give an error message as:-

Error: tinyMCE.getEditorId is not a function

Need to insert Drupal break tag to split the content into teaser.

Apply those two patch and so far it works. Using TinyMCE module version 5.x-1.9 with TinyMCE 3.x I guess.

mysql tuning

Submitted by angch on Wed, 05/11/2008 - 16:13

Random note, Ubuntu Hardy, mysql/innodb tuning (more like frobbing).

[mysqld]
query_cache_limit = 2M; was 1M
query_cache_size = 32M; was 16M
innodb_file_per_table
innodb_buffer_pool_size=128M
innodb_log_file_size=32M
innodb_log_buffer_size=12M

default-table-type=innodb

Dump/restore required, nuke the orig log file first before restarting

Using Firefox multi profile

Submitted by kamal on Tue, 21/10/2008 - 16:22

Firefox allow us to specify multi profile, other than just the default. This is useful for example to test web application with different users has to logged in into the system. The usage is quite simple:-

$ firefox -ProfileManager

will show a dialog box for you to select which profile to use or create new one. But once you have an instance of Firefox running, the dialogue box is not displayed anymore.

FOSS.my

Submitted by admin on Wed, 08/10/2008 - 11:55


We'll be one of the sponsors for FOSS.my, an event to bring together FOSS people in Malaysia to share and learn. Plenty of local and international speakers. I may or may not speak at the event, but will definitely rant about stuff in one of the lightning talks. Helping out to organize the event as well.

This is back-to-back with MyGOSSCON '08, so it'd be tiring like heck for me.
