A few days ago I checked in a LiveJournal Crossposting module, based on the WordPress plugin of the same name. I’ve seen several people using it of late and I know people who’d like to run blog sites but want more power than WordPress will give them.

I’m looking for a few people to run it through its paces; I tested the basic functionality, but I haven’t had a lot of time for the project so I didn’t really push it too hard. If anybody wants to play with it, let me know how it goes, please.

Even people grabbing it and saying “Yup, works good” would be nice.

One of the most common questions in Drupal is "How do I get rid of / change / etc etc" the 'read more' bit.

Sometimes it's quite problematic; it's stuck down there with the 'add comment', 'add to my wishlist', etc etc links. And it can be easy to lose, because it's not really in the flow with what is actually being read. I know that I, myself, have missed its existence on more than one occasion, when it's not clear if there is actually meant to be more text or not.

For quite some time I've had forum moderation as a working module, but it was buried and hard to find because it was built atop the Node Access Arbitrator module which is, by necessity, a very scary module to install. It turned out the arbitrator had few problems, but I never really took down the "Don't know if this works!!!" warning, and pretty much decided not to after awhile as 4.7 and the whole node access thing is a pretty scary place. Besides, it was a proof of concept.

The Node Access Arbitrator is now integrated into Drupal 5.0. As such, I've gone ahead and turned Forum Access and ACL into their own projects. People who are experimenting with CVS HEAD might want to give these modules a look. I think this is going to be a very important module for Drupal and shaking the bugs out of it early would be a good thing.

By popular demand, I've modified the taxonomy checkboxes code to do indentation based upon taxonomy depth. I dunno if it's perfect but I think it works reasonably well.

Here's a screenshot (a crappy one, needs some CSS but that shouldn't be too hard.)

And here's the code:
