Today I created a new Drupal module: ImageField Tokens.

ImageField Tokens adds the ability to use Node tokens with ImageFields ALT and Title text in the same fashion as FileField Paths adds Node tokens to the FileField module.

This is something that not only have I personally wanted, it's something that I have had many requests to add the functionality to FileField Paths. It turned out to be an extremely easy task, only requiring two small functions due to the dependency on FileField Paths.

Mobile Codes is the first Drupal module that I submitted to D.o, it was written specifically for TheSkinDrop.com and did exactly what I needed it to do, and because of that it became stagnant.

So, after nine months of nothing, I'm happy to say that Mobile Codes has finally received a major update.

  • Added Mobile Codes Presets w/ Administration page:

    You can now create Presets for Mobile Codes, which are simply a set of defaults used to define a type of Mobile Code.

I recently started looking into ways of improving the UI of my modules, Textimage specifically, and I came across the jQuery UI module. While I had previously been aware of the module, I never actually got around to looking into it.

After a bit of playing around with it, including the submission of a patch to hopefully make it easier for end users to install, I decided it was definitely a viable solution and I then proceeded to implement it.

Hot on the heels of the 2.1 release, Textimage gets some more lovin'.

One thing that I found myself doing quite often while working with Textimage is creating a preset, saving the preset, testing the preset, editing the preset, saving the preset, testing the preset, etc.
I'm happy to say that that process is now a thing of the past due to the newly added Textimage Preview functionality.

It's been a long time coming, probably for me more than anyone, but Textimage 2.1 has finally been released for both Drupal 5 and 6.

While this latest version is primarily a bug fix release, it does introduce some new features, including the following:

  • Ported to Drupal 6.
  • Support for OpenType fonts.
  • CCK and Views integration - Display email and textfields using a Textimage preset.
  • theme() functionality added - Create Textimages directly from your module or theme.
