Mod_rsdefgal, the RSGallery2 Default Gallery Module for Joomla

The RSGallery2 component for Joomla is great but it wants every user to create a picture gallery before uploading their favorite images. Because that complicates what should be a simple process, I wrote this small module to create a default gallery if the user does not have any.

You set this up the way you do any other component, with the exception that you will probably only want it to load if the user is logged in. For the website this was designed for, I set the access level to "registered" and assigned it to all of the menu items.

Drupal Hacks

Patches against Drupal and/or additional modules to perform various tasks such as changing the sorting on the main XML feed slightly, or to allow the download_count module to work with files too large for the upload module to handle.

Link Boy

In the past, I've used tools such as Xenu's Link Sleuth to keep track of links that become outdated or dissappear on domains that I maintain. Now I run linux, and decided to create a program that could run from a crontab. I named this program LinkBoy. It was written in PERL with the aid of the HTTP::Request and LWP::UserAgent packages.

Link fader JS

This code is based on the original concept by Fayez Zaheer. It has been rewritten to handle the transitions differently, expand the script's flexibility, and fix a couple minor bugs in the original script. Fayez has found and fixed those bugs, but has not had a chance to release the fixed version (at least as of the time of this writing).
