Customized LDAP Integration

LDAP is hard to get working with your Drupal site. Luckily there is a module that helps with that (as there usually is). Unfortunately the module currently only provides the ability to log in through LDAP. You can not check to see if the user exists in LDAP, and if not, use the Drupal database. Many sites may want this functionality and it is quite easy to add.

CSS3 has become popular with the latest web browser releases and is increasingly being incorporated into web site designs, however, these features do not work in the older versions of Internet Explorer (IE). While we all would love for everyone to upgrade to at least IE9, many people are stuck with IE7 or 8 due to not being able to upgrade to Windows Vista or 7 at this time. CSS3Pie is a library created to help solve the issue of displaying CSS3 properties in IE6-8.

Security Through Obscurity

While security through obscurity is often looked down upon, it can really help your site against newbie hackers. By default, Drupal shows files such as CHANGELOG.txt, INSTALL.txt, and README.txt. These files contain information about your current Drupal distribution that could potentially be used to wreak havoc on your site.

A Views 3 style controls how the output is formatted and allows the user to set predefined values. Using custom styles, programmers can create very unique looking lists such as charts, graphs, and time lines. In the example below, I will explain how to start a Views 3 style using a simple timeline as an example. The timeline above is an example of using Views displaying individual nodes called Timeline Events in an attractive display.
