• Options Element | drupal.org
  Options Element is a module that provides a better mechanism to specify select list, checkbox, and radio button options. Rather than requiring the user to use strange syntax like "key|value" in a textarea, Options Element provides a clean interface for specifying options.
• MultiBlock | drupal.org
  Drupal's block module is limited by the fact that a block can only have one instance. Each block has a 1:1 relationship with its region, weight, visibility (and other) settings. This means that it is impossible to have blocks in multiple regions or to have blocks that have different settings on different pages. MultiBlock module solves this problem by allowing you to create multiple Block Instances of already existing blocks. Please read the README for more information.

From CodeIgniter to Rails

Rails steht schon länger auf der Liste von Dingen die ich lernen will daher sein hier das Posting From CodeIgniter to Ruby on Rails: A Conversion erwähnt:

Throughout this tutorial, we’ll create a simple shoutbox application in CodeIgniter, and then port it over to Ruby on Rails. We’ll be comparing the code between the two applications to see where they are similar, and where they differ. Learning Rails is much easier if you are already familiar with an MVC (Model, View, Controller) framework structure.

Why CodeIgniter Rocks

Chris Monnat nennt 10 Gründe warum CodeIgniter Rockt.

Die meisten Gründe würde ich unterschreiben, insbesondere No. 8:

CI is the first framework that I used that actually makes sense to me. I have tried Cake PHP, the Zend framework, Symfony and many others and I was able to get up and running with CI the quickest. CI is also easy to write new libraries, change the behaviour of existing libraries and just change the overall behaviour of the framework with little effort.

CIUnit: Unit testing for CodeIgniter

Mal wieder ein CodeIgniter Link: CIUnit.

CIUnit is a cool bridge between your CodeIgniter application and phpUnit.
