Topic “ParentsClick”

Hot Swapping of Drupal Themes

At the ParentsClick Network we are soon to be rolling out many more sites on our platform. Because of our unique community API (which I will be detailing in a future post) we are running many sites (many not yet released) on the same install of Drupal, with the same database, and no shared tables. Yes, no typos there. More on just how that works in a later post.

One thing we have to do is change the theme based on the URL, along with a host of other things. ZivTech recently posted about changing themes, but for our setup, we need something more low level. Hence this technique.

SimpleFeed 2.1 Release, New Maintainer, and a Look at Performance

SimpleFeed 2.1

SimpleFeed 2.1 has been released, grab it while it’s hot!

This release fixes a number of outstanding issues and greatly improves the robustness of SimpleFeed. Highlighted fixes include:

  • Critical update, fixes updating of feed items to use the new unique identifier, before it only made it through 50 items, causing duplicate headaches
  • Unique identifier for feed items now relies on a combination of title & link, which will pave the way for updating changed feed item bodies later
  • Support for much longer length URLs
  • Improved database indices
  • Fix expiration of feed items so it can run properly as anonymous user cron
