After making several mistakes and getting suspended from college for grades, I'm finally taking the steps I need to take to be on the path to graduation today!

And of course, entering to win a super sweet lens that I've wanted to buy for a while would be a great thing too!

Re: Add an Inline Image Using CKEditor & CKFinder to Your Drupal Blog or Content

Marcus Burnette — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 15:49:48 -0000

As we move to Drupal 7, I hope that adding media - especially inline - becomes a lot easier!

Great walkthrough of adding images with CKEditor and CKFinder though!

Re: Turn Drupal Webform Labels into Placeholders with jQuery

Thanks for the heads up! I've added the jQuery initialization functions to the article and it should work now :)

Re: Drupal Views and Isotope [aka jQuery Masonry]

Marcus Burnette — Mon, 31 Dec 2012 18:49:56 -0000

Not sure exactly what you're referring to. It certainly does work with Masonry and the heights are dynamic. The very last section, "Integrating Isotope with Views Rows" shows exactly that.

Unfortunately I had to take my work down for the time being, so I will be creating a new demo shortly.

Marcus Burnette — Mon, 31 Dec 2012 18:51:02 -0000

Sorry about that, Criterion. I had to remove my work for now, so I will be reconstructing a new demo soon.

If you follow the tutorial, however, you will still be able to achieve the results you desire!

Hey there @Basti

Unfortunately, Disqus has not been sending me notifications, so I'm just now seeing this.

When I go to your site in Chrome, however, it looks like you got it all worked out. Please let me know if something needed to be changed for Chrome so I can update the article!

Glad I could help, Alex! I absolutely love all the things Vimeo Pro does.

Re: Introducing a New Project: ModuleNotes.com

Marcus Burnette — Tue, 30 Apr 2013 23:37:53 -0000

Unfortunately, Disqus has decided not to notify me of comments, so I'm just getting this now....

Thanks so much for the praise! ModuleNotes is going well and I'm loving being able to put this kind of a resource together.

You have some great suggestions there, too! As far as being able to add "gotchas" to the module description, I think I intended the comments section to be just that: the "notes". I think simply renaming the comments to something else would do the trick there.

Thanks so much on the info about Simple Google Maps. If that module is not already in there, I'll make sure to get it in there soon!

As for FL Drupal Camp, I had every intention of going and it sort of came and went before I really remembered it was happening. Business got hectic and these things happen. I will definitely be checking it out next year and I wish I could have been there!

Hey there, Dan -

Sounds like Vimeo Plus is just the way to go! When you upload a video, you can tell Vimeo to only allow the video to be viewed on a certain domain (and not even be available on vimeo.com itself). You can easily set a video to only be allowed to be viewed at the domain your website resides and place the actual site pages where the videos are embedded behind the login.

One of my favorite things about Vimeo Plus is also the ability to customize the video player. This will help the videos better reflect your brand as well. Each of your videos will also be converted automatically to play on mobile devices.

I honestly don't see any limitations to using Vimeo for this type of a setup. If I were doing just that today, I would use Vimeo.. no question :)

Re: Why I Use Vimeo for Video Hosting

Marcus Burnette — Sun, 05 May 2013 22:12:28 -0000

That's great, Dan!

Amazon S3 does not offer that (without a bunch of complicated scripts), so I think Vimeo is just what you're looking for!

Re: Making a Drupal bookmarklet | Mike Crittenden

Marcus Burnette — Wed, 08 May 2013 22:24:14 -0000

Love this quick tip! I'll probably end up using some version of this for my project, ModuleNotes.com.

Just a quick addition: if the site in question does not already include jQuery, here is a quick bookmarklet to run that will add jQuery to the page. It's 2 bookmarklets to run, but it'll still save tons of time!

javascript:var s=document.createElement('script');s.setAttribute('src', 'http://jquery.com/src/jquer...[0].appendChild(s);void(s);

Glad it was helpful for you, Ricky! This effect is super popular and not all that hard to achieve, once you can pinpoint the right selectors.

Great commentary on the correlation of our children's struggles with our own. I often forget just how we all have our own struggles - at any age - that are the center of our little worlds.

Hey Tony -

The appearance of the volume controls is actually determined by the video's settings at Vimeo. To independently control the volume via javascript, you can use the above concepts and check out the froogaloop methods: https://developer.vimeo.com...

Re: Add Home Screen Icons for iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch Users

Marcus Burnette — Fri, 30 May 2014 13:37:31 -0000

Hey moonlight. While these screenshots are a bit outdated (the article was written in April of 2011!), the "Add to Home Screen" option still exists by default in the newest iOS - 7.1.1 at time of writing this comment.

If you look at the screenshot in the link below, you'll see it appears at the bottom next to "bookmark" and "add to reading list". If you are not seeing these, you may have a particular setting changed (not sure if that's possible) or you may not be running the latest iOS version.

Re: “I’m thinking of using CodePen to teach a class…”

Marcus Burnette — Mon, 16 Mar 2015 13:29:19 -0000

As someone who runs a similar site in a different industry, I appreciate the open, authentic nature you all conduct business. It makes it easier to see what sort of things work and don't work and how you can be successful without hiding in the shadows.

CodePen rocks. But, more importantly, you all rock. And that's what makes CodePen successful.

Arvid, I did actually do a version of this on CodePen to demo a custom poster frame for someone. Here is the link if you want to disect it there: http://codepen.io/mburnette...

Good to know about the local development requirements. I had assumed you were using a LAMP stack, but you know what happens when you assume...

Thanks for the heads up on the search terms. I'll see if I might add a few others into the article to help boost it in search results. Feel free to share it on twitter, too (@marcusdburnette) *wink*wink*

Great looking site, btw. I really like the clean simple layout. Let the video content do the talking. Nice work!

Re: Vimeo Javascript API Basics

Marcus Burnette — Thu, 16 Apr 2015 23:57:50 -0000

Thanks, Darren. Depends on what you're asking, but you sure could!

If you just want it to go back to the beginning and pause, you can just tell Vimeo to do that right in the video's settings at Vimeo.

If you want it to go back to the beginning and play again, you could do that too I think. I haven't tested this out, but it should be something like this:

player.addEvent('ready', function() {
player.addEvent('finish', player.api('play'));
});

That should at least set you in the right direction. You can also toggle a loop setting using the API, but you'd have to play around with it to see if it does what you want it to do (https://developer.vimeo.com....

Hope that helps!

Re: Redirect Drupal Webform Submissions Based on Answers

Marcus Burnette — Mon, 14 Sep 2015 20:48:24 -0000

This is great! In a similar manner, I've rerouted submission emails based on answers as well.

If you make your keys email addresses, you can send submission emails to different people based on the answer to the question.

(Maybe I'll do a write-up on my own blog about that sometime....)
