Validating your form submissions in Drupal can be easy. If you’re using CCK, somebody has probably coded a nice module to deal with email, phone or ISBN fields.
But what if your need is fairly specific to the website at hand?
You’ll need to create a module…don’t run and hide, its not that bad.
The validation module we’ll create consists of two files – and no more then 100 lines of code.
Technology Supporting Bushfire Relief is an Infoxchange project that helps community services provide access to technology for those affected by the Victorian bushfires.
The call to create the website to support this project was made on the Monday, with the site needing to be live as soon as possible.
Some criteria needed to be met, which included:

Most of the changes were to create a new wordpress theme. Which was a breeze. The template files are really well structured, much simpler then Drupal. (But then Drupal is a larger beast).
The permalinks also allows for a nice amount of customisation, so I can setup the links to be the same as the old site, no problems redirecting search engine traffic then.
Spent a while yesterday looking for a way to batch compress images.
I found a quite good free image editing application called IrfanView, and the batch processing it has is quite powerful.
The workflow module has just been released for Drupal 6. I took a look and was pretty impressed with the features.
