ted serbinski – a blog about drupal, macs, productivity, health, and bmws

NOTE: This project has been superceded by the most excellent jQuery Calendar. All development on this plugin will now be merged with that project.

I am pleased to announce that my jQuery date picker is now ready for consumption, check it out here:

This plugin was originally written to improve the interface for adding activities on MothersClick.com and will be working as the new input widget for date module. Initial mom reactions have been extremely positive (from a couple beta testers) and we hope to roll this into production after we iron out the kinks with Karen to get this into date module as the new default widget.

Following the heels of Khalid’s backport of custom logging for Drupal 5 comes the backport of my JS aggregation patch for Drupal 5.

This backport was sponsored by Wim Leers, so many thanks to him!

The patch can be downloaded here: http://drupal.org/node/149402

If you have any problems please let me know!

Whoohoo! My JS aggregation patch has finally made it into core to join my other CSS preprocessor patch :-)

With both of those in, is there anything else we can do to still improve the speed and loading time of CSS and JS in Drupal?

You betcha! The next and final phase is to now gzip these aggregated files and the issue is ready, just needs an actual patch for core now.

With 4 more weeks, I hope we can get this final phase in.
