One-click JS/CSS Minifier

Das One-click Minifier Gadget vereinfacht die “Minifizierung” von JavaScript und CSS Dateien.

Running the tool is as simple as drag/dropping a bunch of files and directories. The tool recursively looks into the dropped files for things it can optimize. It doesn’t do image optimization, only JS and CSS minification.

Drupal: Multilingual Tips

Einige Tips vom drupaler zum Setup von mehrsprachigen Drupal Webseiten:

1. Don’t change the default language after initial set-up. Set your default language right at the start and don’t mess with it. Ever.
2. Do back up your database before installing someone else’s PO files. Sometimes they’re a pile of crap and there’s no easy way (I know of) to back out.
3. Don’t add menu items using the Views module (unless they’re tabs). Use the core Menu module or you’ll confuse yourself to death.
4. Don’t forget your default language - it may not be English even if you normally work in English.
5. Do enter everything in the default language first, then translate later. It’s just safer that way.
6. Don’t set Taxonomy vocabularies to a language. For some reason it seems to lock them like that forever! Leave them language agnostic and translate them. Then the language switcher will do its thing.
7. Don’t forget, multilingual variables are set, as usual, in the admin UI. All you need to do is set the URL/sub-domain (depending on how you configured language switching) so you are in that language’s view of the UI, then enter the variable value for that language. This is the case even if you set the language to be one specific one always in admin.
8. Don’t translate blocks. You’ll confuse your client to death when you try to explain to them how to create and edit translations. Just create one block per language, as needed.

Google Drops Support for IE6

Das ist doch mal eine gute Nachricht. Googles Web-Apps werden den IE 6 zukünftig nicht mehr unterstützen.

In order to continue to improve our products and deliver more sophisticated features and performance, we are harnessing some of the latest improvements in web browser technology. This includes faster JavaScript processing and new standards like HTML5. As a result, over the course of 2010, we will be phasing out support for Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 as well as other older browsers that are not supported by their own manufacturers.
