Back in 2010 I created a prototype of a search engine based on web usage behavior. Back then I was heading a SEO-Driven startup and got so annoyed with search engine optimization, that I thought about ways to classify the web that cannot be optimized. Firstly a search engine like this should not rely on [...]
Here is some useful javascript stuff Get parameter from url: function getURLParam(strParamName){ var strReturn = “”; var strHref = window.location.href; if ( strHref.indexOf(“?”) > -1 ){ var strQueryString = strHref.substr(strHref.indexOf(“?”)).toLowerCase(); var aQueryString = strQueryString.split(“&”); for ( var iParam = 0; iParam < aQueryString.length; iParam++ ){ if (aQueryString[iParam].indexOf(strParamName + “=”) > -1 ){ var aParam = [...]
Background: To optimize for IE6 is a pain in the !$Ӥ$ - Therefore we want to display a warning message when a user visits one of our Drupal pages with Internet Explorer 6. We have multiple Drupal sites running on the same machine with the same IP address. Some of sites use HTTPS certificates. In [...]
Tonight I wrote an extension to Drupal’s node_limit module, allowing administrators to apply a Node Limit to all users that have a certain role. With this extension the administrator only selects the role. The limit gets applied for all users that have the configured role individually. Node_limit was easy to extend thanks to the well-written [...]
OK, this turned out to be a tricky one. For some reason I wanted to programmatically post data to a server. I wanted to do the equivalent to posting this form from a web-browser: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN” “http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd”> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv=”Content-Type” content=”text/html; charset=UTF-8″> <title>Upload</title> </head> <body> <form action=”http://localhost/upload” method=”post” enctype=”multipart/form-data”> [...]
Why do this? For running legacy Drupal applications it can be necessary to have different version of PHP on your system. Drupal5 runs on PHP-5.2, Drupal6 and later versions run on PHP-5.3, more about this here: http://drupal.org/requirements. In a situation like this you might want the PHP-5.2 application (e.g., Drupal5) and the PHP-5.3 application (e.g., [...]

Beim Gespräch habe ich erfahren, dass 1xINTERNET in der Suche nicht berücksichtigt wird, weil Verschlagwortung u.s.w. exklusv Premiummitgliedern vorbehalten ist. Auf Qype kann mein Eintrag über zwei Wege erreicht [...]
Meine Frau und ich haben gemeinsam mit Partnern Anfang des Jahres 1xINTERNET gegründet. Die Idee ist durch das “Do-it-yourself” Homepageangebot von 1und1 entstanden. Das Problem bei einer “Do-it-yourself” Homepage ist, dass ein unfahrener Ersteller sehr lange braucht, und dass die resultierende Homepage in vielen Fällen unprofessionell aussieht. Also haben wir uns gedacht, wenn wir das [...]
I had some difficulties finding good howtos for setting up Solr on my system. There are some covering the topic, but none of them worked for me. The best I found was by Paul Bramsher published here, but this was for older versions of Ubuntu and Solr. There is also a wiki for setting up [...]

For virtual hosts running over http (port 80) that was no problem. However, i [...]
