Module of the Week

Two Factor Authentication - Two-factor authentication for Drupal sites. Drupal provides authentication via something you know - a username and password while TFA module adds a second step of authentication with a check for something you have - such as a code sent to (or generated by) your mobile phone.

TFA is a base module for providing two-factor authentication for your Drupal site. As a base module, TFA handles the work of integrating with Drupal, providing flexible and well tested interfaces to enable your choice of various two-factor authentication solutions like Time-based One-Time Passwords (TOTP), SMS-delivered codes, pre-generated codes, or integrations with third-party services like Authy, Duo and others.

A walkthrough of how Display Builder (by UI Suite) takes control of your entity displays - and plays nicely with the tools you already use.The Display Builder module continues to mature, and in his latest video, Pierre walks us through one of its most practical features: Entity View Display. If you've been following the series, this third installment builds directly on the foundations laid in the first two videos (component-based layouts and the plugin system). If you haven't seen those yet, this post should still give you a clear picture of what's possible.You can watch the full demo here: Entity View Display - Display Builder Beta

Last week I helped the folks at ezSystems debug some APC problems they were having. The problems ended up being a 64bit architecture problem (they have uber-fast Opterons) and the bug is now fixed in 2.0.3.

Today I received Python & XML from them (off my Amazon wishlist). Thanks guys!

On a side note, my wishlist seems borked. The list I get when I search on my email address or name is not the same one I can edit when I log into the site.

1st of April 2004 get's to it's end and I guess it's time, to summarize the recent April fools a bit. Not that I think anyone in the world believes in them, but some were quite funny:

1. Changes to case sensitivity in PHP.
Alan Knowles announced that PHP will change to the studlyCase API and therefor will get everything broken by changing established functions.

2. IBM takes over Zend.
Myself hacked a little article about IBM taking over Zend to make PHP a compete of Java.

3. The first PHP virus has been seen.
Wasn't there one last year, too?

4. PHP has been overtaken by Micro$oft.
Mhhh... a little bit unreliable, if they had been taken over by IBM this morning... Maybe one should first look, what others wrote...

5. And finally, PHP4 and 5 showed their real faces...
Take a look at a phpinfo() output!

I guess I missed some, so feel free to comment on this entry, if you found another!
