This article by J.Ayen Green, author of Drupal 6 Attachment Views, gives us an introduction to Attachment Views in Drupal. Looking at just about anything worth doing, a question will often arise beginning with the words, "How do I." Often the challenge can seem daunting. Then, one finally intuits, discovers or otherwise stumbles upon the answer and simultaneously is offered several alternative opinions, each being offered as the best way to accomplish the same goal. This is the case whether planning a vacation route, taking a photograph, or creating part or all of an application.

In this article, which is the second article of the article series, we will cover how to install PHP-Nuke on a local machine running an Apache/MySQL/PHP (AMP) environment.

In this article by Ian Wild, we will be looking at taking our current resources and converting them over to Moodle. I'm going to concentrate on the kinds of resources we math teachers usually have. They usually come in two flavors. The first are the "static" resources: PowerPoint presentations, documents provided by publishers (such as resources provided on a CD-ROM at the back of a textbook or downloadable from the publisher's website). In this article, we'll focus on these static resources. Again, those are the resources math teachers and lecturers usually like to convert to Moodle. The other type of resources are "interactive" resources.

The ability to log important events or errors for problem diagnosis and then checking of application execution is very important. The ability to log certain statements selectively while others are not logged, depending on the context in which the application is running, is also important. An application that is deployed in Apache Geronimo can use any custom logging mechanism to log its messages. However, Apache Geronimo uses log4j and slf4j for logging server log messages. Applications deployed in Geronimo can also leverage the functionality of these logging frameworks.

In this article by Samisa Abeysinghe, we will look into a process model that we can use as a starting point for the PHP projects that we are working on. The process is designed with the MVC framework based design model in mind. It is assumed that the workload is broken down based on the Model-View-Controller pattern, and team members are assigned to work on each layer based on that breakdown.
