drupal

Well, it's been an incredibly long time since I've written anything, so here's a little something to get started again.

I wrote a in-house Drupal module for one-use ticket file streaming. Basically, a unique identifier is used to stream the file, then is discarded, making the url invalid after one use. Everything worked fine for logged-in users, but just today I noticed a giant hole: users who are not logged in can access the file as much as they want, thanks to Drupal's caching system.

Well, this week has been pretty crazy, and it’s only Wednesday night!

A while ago I submitted a patch for the Drupal bio module that added the option to force users to create a bio when they first log in. That patch is still in development, but it’s now getting merged in with a new patch by Webchick that is adding some really great functionality. Basically, the new patch will let you define fields that you want to appear on the user registration page.
