Grave PHP bug segfaults drupal sites

16 June 2010 By klavs 0

I just hit a grave bug, while performance testing a customers drupal site - the apache segfaulted each and every time, after a few 100 requests at the most. The setup had long been plagued by random segmentation faults / complaints about canary problems from suhosin, which wasn't reproducible (or we hadn't spent the time to try), but this time it died consistently.

New linuxpusher.com site

20 May 2010 By klavs 0

Ever since I redid Linuxpusher.dk (as it were - not it's .com) in oscommerce, I've sorely missed some CMS functionality and I only switched because the shop part of the CMS systems I had found were sorely lacking in this, primary part.

I finally found a system that, while not perfect, was good enough to be a considerable improvement to the functionality of the linuxpusher.com site, and also I finally found the time to do it.

Among the new features are:

Designing proper taxes support in a webshop

13 April 2010 By klavs 2

I've been working on creating a new website for my webshop www.linuxpusher.com, using Drupal 6, Ubercart D2 and 100+ modules (the drupal way :)

I've fixed several bugs in modules along the way (and ofcourse sent fixes upstream - even got to be co-maintainer of a module, so that I could release a new version with  my fixes, and have added other fixes as I needed them :) and especially working with uc_discounts_alt have exposed me to an issue the current taxes support cannot handle.

EU VAT and Drupal+Ubercart 2

25 February 2010 By klavs 0

I finally got some time to start working on a new homepage for linuxpusher.com and choose to use Drupal and Ubercart (among two shop-modules for drupal) for this job.

I need to be able to sell items without VAT to none-EU citizens, and the builtin taxes support didn't handle this, and the uc_vat module that improves upon the built-in support, didn't do the job either.

I have just fixed the code, with some tips from the author of uc_vat (longwave) so we were sure as how it should be done, so I hope he'll accept my code as an improvement for uc_vat.

Want a fully free video display solution for your Drupal 6 site?

24 January 2009 By klavs 1

I already have a fully free (as in GPL) video display solution for my Drupal 5 site - http://virkpaanettet.dk using flowplayer

I wanted to create a drupal 6 version, but until now the modules I use have not been ready for Drupal 6.

Disable rss feed in Drupal 5

27 September 2008 By klavs 1

I've been wanting to disable the "automatic" rss feed for a while.

Yesterday I found an elegant solution, which simply adds a checkbox (under rss settings) which enables/disables the feed. This way, you don't have to edit your drupal theme or overwrite anything in your theme's template.php. It not only removes the link - it also removes the feed icon in the address bar.
