Components - Reusing Rules, Conditions, and Actions
by
Robert Varkonyi | January 2013 | Drupal Open Source
This article by Robert Varkonyi, author of Drupal Rules How-to, explains the benefits of using Components by creating a Condition that can be re-used in other rule configurations.
In this scenario, we want to perform some action when a node is being commented on. But we only want to execute the action if the node was not created by the super admin (that is, user 1) and the node is either an article, or has an image field (field_image).

Yuxian Eugene Liang | January 2013 | Open Source
In this article, by Yuxian Eugene Liang, the author of WordPress Mobile Applications with PhoneGap, talks about creating a location-based directory via the GeoPlaces theme. It covers the setting up and addition of sample geographic data into your WordPress site. We'll add geographic capabilities to our WordPress site by leveraging on the GeoPlaces theme.
The major topics we will cover in this article are:
-
Introduction to the GeoPlaces theme
-
Populating the site with sample data from GeoPlaces
-
Managing place listings from the frontend side as well as the admin side of the site
For a start, we'll be using a premium theme called GeoPlaces, by Templatic. At the time of writing, a single user license is priced at USD 99 while a developer license is priced at USD 179. For the rest of this article we will be using the GeoPlaces theme to do the bulk of the heavy lifting of geographic functionalities, since Google Maps are built directly into the GeoPlaces theme.
Before we move into this article officially, you might be wondering where it will lead us. To begin with, since our mobile app's content is dependent on our WordPress site, we need to add basic content (in this case, place listings and other article-like information) to the site.

In this article by Ajit Kumar, author of Sencha MVC Architecture, we will take a step-by-step approach to create a functional application in ExtJS using the MVC architecture and the framework classes related to it. For the sake of completeness and illustration of the concepts, we will be taking up an application requirement and implementing it in ExtJS.
As a requirement, we will be creating an application, which would:
-
Show the list of departments and the users
-
Show the list of users for a selected department
-
Allow the user to edit user information
-
Refresh the users list to get all the users of all the departments

Robert Martin | December 2012 | Enterprise Articles Microsoft
Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) is a programming language built into Microsoft Office applications. As you improve your skills in any application from the Office System, you will eventually realize that although Microsoft Office applications offer a large number of tools, they do not offer everything you need to perform your daily chores. Such chores may include creating a corporate custom-format, a custom function that calculates commission payments, and so on.
Thus, VBA works as a gap-filler; in other words, its main purpose is to ensure that you can do whatever you need to do in your job.
In this article by Robert Martin, author of Excel Programming with VBA Starter,you will get to know a bit about VBA, its basic features, what you can do with it, and how you can put it to work with a view to facilitating your daily work, by automating common tasks.

by
Ivan Idris | December 2012 | Cookbooks Open Source
In this article by Ivan Idris, the author of NumPy Cookbook, we will learn some of NumPy's more advanced and tricky indexing techniques. NumPy has very efficient arrays that are easy to use due to their powerful indexing mechanism. NumPy is famous for its efficient arrays. This fame is partly due to the ease of indexing. We will demonstrate advanced indexing tricks using images.
In this article, we will cover:
-
Installing SciPy
-
Installing PIL
-
Resizing images
-
Comparing views and copies
-
Flipping Lena
-
Fancy indexing
-
Indexing with a list of locations
-
Indexing with booleans
-
Stride tricks for Sudoku
-
Broadcasting arrays
Before diving into indexing, we will install the necessary software — SciPy and PIL. Some of the examples in this article will involve manipulating images. In order to do that, we will require the Python Image Library (PIL); but don't worry, instructions and pointers to help you install PIL and other necessary Python software are given throughout the article, when necessary.
