This site, my glorified blog, started out on Drupal 4. It wasn't until Drupal 8 that there was finally a single official way to handle putting media into nodes, with a media reference field and a media embed filter. Between then and now I used first the venerable img_assist and then the image_filter module, both of which fell by the wayside after D7. I replaced them both using php custom filters, but php in the database is now deprecated for security reasons.

Modules are used to extend drupal's functionality.
I've been working on a patch for the img_assist.module that allows you to easily link uploaded images (using image.module, and upload.module, or compatible) into other node types. The img_assist.module is quite dandy and more or less indispensible in my book, but it is missing some very important features. img_assist.module only allows you to use certain predefined sizes (whatever's defined for images, that is smaller than img_assist.module's maximum size) and a custom size. It also only gives you two alignment options: float left, and float right.

I'm working on a new (drupal-powered) website for work and there's this page that lists upcoming music events in one of the venues. In this venue, we have a regular event that happens every wednesday. Thus, I need a comma-separated list of wednesdays. I don't want to add PHP to any input format besides the one where it's the only filter, so I needed some other way to get this content into my page (which also makes use of other filters, like img_assist, and insert view.)

quotefilter is a simple drupal module that wraps blockquotes up in pretty quotation marks. It utilizes GIF images by default because IE (even version 7!) does not properly handle PNG transparency, and while I give not a fig if IE users can see my site (obviously - right now the navbar ends up in the middle of the window) someone else might. Below is a sample of what it looks like:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Etiam sit amet quam quis metus posuere gravida. Fusce sed justo id libero dignissim fermentum. Sed molestie purus vel enim. In hac habitasse platea dictumst. In tortor. Aliquam sapien ante, sagittis et, tincidunt non, vulputate ac, odio. Class aptent taciti sociosqu ad litora torquent per conubia nostra, per inceptos hymenaeos. Donec hendrerit nunc et felis. Nulla nec sapien. Nulla sit amet ipsum id orci facilisis convallis. Vestibulum vitae quam. Sed ac est. Suspendisse volutpat leo non massa.

A quotefilter for drupal
I have installed a crapload of new modules. First, let me mention sidecontent, which lets you create your own sidebar box. You should be able to see an example to your left. I replaced FCKeditor with quicktags, which provides some cute little fast-loading HTML editing buttons. It's not WYSIWYG, of course. FCKeditor will come back once I figure out how to add a "use FCKeditor?" option to the user's settings.
