The multivariate module was successfully migrated to Drupal 7. We were very happy to present this important improvement that will allow Drupal community to offer A/B testing for their clients on a presentation that was hold on Drupal Business Days in Vienna, Austria.

OK, here is a problem. I wanted to play a little bit with uploadprogress PECL extension. Normally installation of PECL extension is very easy, you just do

$cd /opt/lampp
$sudo ./bin/pecl install uploadprogress

form console and PECL installer would do the rest, which was my case also - extension was downloaded from Internet and compiled successfully. After adding extension="uploadprogress.so" to php.ini and restarting XAMPP I've got next error

For no special reason Drupal sites on our server (CentOS 5 with cPanel/WHM) started to make problems with file upload. Because Drupal 6/7 has use Ajax for file uploading the only thing that happens is that browser just hangs until timing out. Quick playing with different file sizes revealed that files that are less then 100kb are OK, but bigger files are creating problem. Of course php post_max_size and upload_max_filesize are set to 20mb so that was not causing problems. Strange...

Yesterday I have released new stable versions of captcha_after module for Drupal 6, module version 6.x-1.2 and first port of captcha_after to Drupal 7.

CAPTCHA After module brings solution to the problem of evaluating security images (commonly known as CAPTCHAs) without decreasing the usability of your site.

Last couple of months we started to notice spam comments on our site. We have installed image captcha but obviously there are more and more human persons whose job is to manually spam sites.
We quickly created couple of triggers and actions that are sending emails and notify us when a new comment is created. Then we would manually check that comment and if it is a spam (>95% chance) we would put it into moderation.

Here are the slides from my session "Securing your Drupal site" that I held at drupalcamp.at. Topic that I tried to cover was so huge that it just wasn't possible to manage it in 45min, and I just barely scratch the surface.

Long time since my last blog post. First of all yep I am live and well ;) Second we had so much work in last 1.5 month on couple of Drupal projects that it was impossible to find some free time for blogging or anything else.

Yesterday we started design part of one of our current drupal project. Naturally our designer asks me – ok for which resolution I should optimize site? And I said to him, well client has not have any special request so I guess we should go with standard 1024px screen width resolution in planning phase and optimize site for that.
