modules

Instead of doing something sane last night1 I spent a few hours creating and submitting my first patch to a Drupal module. I attempted to follow the Drupal coding standards and taking advantage of the Drupal API, but I'm sure I've made a mistake somewhere. Hopefully, a few other eyes review the patch and point out the problems with it.

Seems I got bitten by this bug in the Comment RSS module for Drupal on my anime blog site. Technorati seems to be picking up the comments instead of the actual posts from the site, and I'm sure there's other aggregating systems that are doing the same when trying to automatically find the default RSS feed for the site.

I've complained in the past that the web-links package wasn't available yet in Drupal 5.1; well, as of February 16, 2007, a web-links module was released for Drupal 5.1. I have just replaced my hand-made version of the Blog Rolls with this one. One of my biggest annoyance about the latest version of Drupal has been relieved! Yay!
