The Environment Indicator adds a coloured strip to the side of the site informing you which environment you're currently in (Development, Staging, Production etc). This is incredibly useful if you have multiple environments for each of your sites, and like me, are prone to forgetting which version of the site you are currently looking at.

This little php snippet has come to the rescue many times throughout my Drupal development days. It lets you use includes and excludes in your Drupal block visibility settings - something that you can not do out of the box.

For example, it would allow you to:

Most forms in drupal can be customised, or 'themed' by writing a few lines of code in your theme's template.php file. However, the comment form is one of a few exceptions where this doesn't work - not with a little extra magic anyway.

Both sites are written in English, but the content varies for each.

Rotor2.1 is out - Just a couple of months since the initial 2.0 release, and with a decent amount of in the field testing, The new Views based approach has gone down a treat, and I've had nothing but positive feedback. The 2.1 release contains a nunmber of important fixes and enhancements, and all Rotor users are urged to upgrade.

With version 2 of the Drupal Rotor module getting closer to a stable release, I decided to launch a dedicated Rotor demonstration site. It's a simple Drupal sandbox which allows people to login and have a play with the new version of the module, in order to help evaluate weather it's right for them or not.

Another Drupal 6 module port in the bag. This time for the IP to Country module, which provides a simple API for retrieving country information such as country code, country name, flag, network name, and autonomous system number by given IP address.
