A Rousing Debate with ChatGPT on Emerging Technologies Progressive Web Apps vs Cross-Platform Apps

By on February 20, 2023 in Uncategorized

Below is an example of what AI can write when using the “chat” feature. Some of it was just regurgitating back what I said word for word, but there was some useful insight provided as well. The fact that I can have an intelligent debate now with a machine on and emerging technology topic reserved for tech enthusiasts and developers is exciting. The aha moments discuss, talent availability vs technology stack this is a consideration which is notoriously difficult to measure. It shows a level of intelligence and consideration reserved usually for the most experienced technical project managers and IT decision makers.

Cryptocurrency

From Infancy to Green Initiatives

Introduction

Cryptocurrency has changed the world – but can it also be used to save it? Over the last four decades, cryptocurrency has evolved from a futuristic ideal, to a coveted and highly sought-after asset. In order to understand the potential of cryptocurrency, one must first understand how and why it exists. Initially cryptocurrency was intended to work solely as its name suggests: as a form of digital currency. This emerging technology had several benefits, but also had a detrimental environmental impact. The focus of this paper is two-fold: it explores the history of cryptocurrency as a unit of value, and it will elaborate on how the progression of cryptocurrency has led to the creation of a global carbon market that can help preserve future generations.

Custom Five Star Module (multiple votes)

By on February 8, 2015 in Planet Drupal, Uncategorized

This widget allows the Drupal Five Star module to accept inputs from multiple votes for various criteria and average it into one, It then displays the average of the multiple votes.

To create views sortable by the new widget (the average of five votes), hook_votingapi_results_alter() was used in a small custom module.

Below is a tutorial on how to implement the code.

Best practices using multiple votes criteria In node using FiveStar module in Drupal 6.

1. Enable Fivestar module, Voting API.
2. Go to edit content type and Enable Fivestar rating.
3. Add CCK field Type Fivestar Rating with “Fivestar rating” Select list widget.
4. Configure this CCK field: add Voting Axis: which is the multiple criteria separated by a comma. For example: first, second, third, fourth, fifth . Save field settings.
5. Create the template for node type. In this example it is node type is “teacher”. This will be node-teacher.tpl.php .

In the template paste this snippet:

$output = '';
$tags = array(
'first' = t('Communication'),
'second' = t(‘Availability'),
'third' = t(‘Skills'),
'fourth' = t(‘Efficiency'),
'fifth' = t(‘Personality'),
);
$i = 0;
foreach ($tags as $tag = $title) {
$votes = fivestar_get_votes('node', $node->nid, $tag);
if(!empty($votes['average']['value'])){
$i++;
}
$values = array(
'user' = isset($votes['user']['value']) ? $votes['user']['value'] : NULL,
'average' = isset($votes['average']['value']) ? $votes['average']['value'] : NULL,
'count' = isset($votes['count']['value']) ? $votes['count']['value'] : NULL,
);

Controlling Access to Your Node according to User’s Role/ID in Drupal

By on January 3, 2015 in drupal 7, Planet Drupal, Uncategorized

Need to control which users can access a node/page of a particular content type on your Drupal site?

The Drupal Node API provides us a quick way to do this. It provides the hook_nodeapi function to react to the actions affecting all kinds of nodes. We can easily implement this hook in our module or theme. A prototype of this hook looks like this:

function myCustomModuleName_nodeapi (&$node, $op) {

/*Your code and conditions here*/

}

Here myCustomModuleName is the name of the module in which this hook is defined. The two parameters are $node, which represents the node on which the action is being performed and the other one $op,  is the kind of action which is being performed. The $op can have values like view, alter, delete, print and so on…

As an example, I was looking to design such a condition for my website:

  • If enrolled user creates content type for "recipe", restrict access to recipe except for node author and admin.

So, I needed to develop a mechanism through which for each node of type “recipe”:

  • Everyone can see nodes created by admin including Anonymous user.

Views and Panels Advanced Theming Tutorial Drupal

By on November 27, 2011 in Planet Drupal, Uncategorized

Each view generates lots of styles for flexibility with the CSS. A simple solution is to just go into Firebug and search for styles created and find or create them in style.css. The style names correspond to the template file names so you know what .tpl file to look for the HTML output if needed. This example we will be looking at a view I created called ‘Gurus’, for the about page section of a social networking site for yoga teachers.

 

‘About’ templates for views.

Here we created the views page Activism. I want to create a view that displays 3 trunacated RSS feeds.

This view displays feeds or if there is no feed, the body of the content item. The content type “activistm? has “body field” and “text field” for the feed url.

In the template there is simple template logic to check, “if isset() feed link” if the feed link is set, than display the RSS feeds, otherwise display any text from the node body.
