The Overclocked Too many questions, all the right answers.

I have finished up the database layer for Drupaltin 2 and need some testers. This database layer interfaces both the Drupal and vBulletin database to Drupaltin, which is a very important piece.

Something else which is new is the svn repository. I have started a repository for Drupaltin so it is easier to keep track of things. So far I have only committed the database layer, but I will soon be committing other code I have done ;-)

Checkout the the handbook page on SVN for more info on that.

In the time since my last Drupaltin blog post a lot of things have happened. Probably one of the biggest is the release of vbDrupal 5. I want to start off by saying that Drupaltin and vbDrupal are not the same. vbDrupal is a fork of Drupal which is a heavily modified version of Drupal with it's own code thrown in the mix. It all sounds fine and dandy except the code is not built by hundreds of developers and tested by thousands and used by hundreds of thousands. What does this mean?

Well it has been quite a bit of time since I have made a blog post, so I think it would be a good idea to make one today! One thing I want to set straight though, just because I haven't made any recent blog posts does NOT mean I have not been working on Drupaltin!

I apologize for not getting a post up sooner, I have been extremely swamped with school work this past week. Even though I have not got a post up, rest assured I have been working on Drupaltin every spare minute I have got.

Today was an extremely successful day. I have managed to get the framework done for the Drupaltin 5.x-2.0 module. As of right now all synchronous log in and log out functions on the Drupal side work perfectly. As I said before in an earlier entry, you will no longer have to replace the default login block. This is very good because it caused some weird compatibility issues with one known module. These issues will no longer exist.

This evening has been so good I cannot help myself but to report in on the new Drupaltin Blog. As you may have seen in last night's post, I have begun work on the new Drupaltin Module which will have much more functionality compared to the 5.x-1.0a module.

I have begun extensive development on the new Drupal module block. The new module will no longer require you to use a special login block. I hope to add all the available hooks so that users can edit their profile from either vBulletin or Drupal too. I think it will help clear up some confusion to both site administrators and the end-users.

The other day I was was thinking that if I were in your seat, I would think there is little or no development happening on Drupaltin. Well the truth is quite the contrary. I decided to open a blog which is specifically aimed at Drupaltin so you guys can see the latest development and ideas, and even voice you opinion by commenting.

The blog will be located at http://www.TheOverclocked.com/Drupaltin/Blog

I will start posting some entries up tonight!!

The next release of Drupaltin will incorporate a completely redesigned login system. I have worked through some different thoughts and come up with a proposal. Check out this thread in the Drupaltin Support Forums and let me know what your thoughts on the new system are. Every little bit of feedback goes into creating the best Drupal-vBulletin integration product on the market today! Hey, it's a free product so please show some support by giving some feedback :-)

Drupaltin now has a wish list for future improvements and additions.

Head over and put your word in today! The sooner you get your ideas up the sooner they will be implemented!
