I was looking for something exactly like this, and the video was great.
When I implemented a test, I get the 'Add New' as seen in the video, and it seems to work fine. However, if I click on a further 'Add New' within the popup itself, then it complains that pop-up chaining is not supported (yet).
Is chaining only in the alpha version, or is there some other configuration or restriction that I'm not respecting? Has anyone got chaining working using the 6.x-1.0 version of this module?
Is the 'alpha' version as ready for production as the regular version? In my case the general public is not entering data, so it doesn't have to be absolutely bulletproof.. they would rather have the chaining because it helps the workflow so much.
Thanks for a great module - and any pointers from anyone appreciated?
Thanks for this - I've been trying to figure this out for a while. However, I really want to limit the buttons on the top of the form to the node preview screen. In that way a user would be forced to preview the first node submission and then below the node preview they would be presented with a submit button so they don't have to scroll through the form again. If you could recommend something I'd really appreciate it.
I am using mollum instead of recaptcha (although the good deeds bit does motivate). Hope this comment doesn't get flagged as spam like my previous one ;)
I've been intrigued by Filefield Insert, but I don't really like to use modules without an official release. Especially ones that you need to patch by hand. Have you been using it in production?
That is a good point. The particular site I am building right now doesn't allow input from untrusted sources, but I will add a warning in the original article.
I wouldn't enable img tags for the default input format. If you do you'll be inundated by spambots posting images in comments, or the less visible tracker 1px images.
The wysiwyg API requires a little more setup, but it also saves a lot hassle having to remove the editor where it doesn't belong (like the block visibility settings).
IMCE is the least bad solution when you need to have a library of images, but if sharing images between different pieces of content is not a requirement I would definitely try Filefield Insert as an alternative.
Hi Tao,
Nice blog!
I'm looking to do some "documentation" in Drupal so I need to combine all kind of images and text that are open in other documents, or just copied from the web.
Does your solution apply to that? Do you know if anything like that CAN be done in Drupal 6?
Thanks
I have succeeded to display the links inline with the input field by modiying the module and the theme template.php. I have posted the method here: http://www.psykocybernetik.com/blog/content/drupal-inline-popups-reference-field
Don't hesitate to let me know if there is a better way of doing it.
First of all, thank you for your great module! I am currently using it and am very pleased but I am facing a challenge while trying to theme a CCK input form in which there are some "Add New" links.
For the moment, the "Add New" link is in a div (without class) situated under the CCK input field. I would like to be able to put the "Add new" link next to the input field.
I have tried to play around theming CCK form but I have trouble as I am using the drupal_render function that create the label/input field/description divs and then your module is adding the link as a suffix.
Has someone succeeded in displaying the "Add New" link inline with the input field?
If what I am trying to describe is not clear with words, I can post some pictures.
Thanks. I have updated the Mollom slide.
Yeah, I don't really have a conclusion yet. I haven't really been satisfied with anything I have tried yet. I would like more flexible workflow and reporting options. And better ways to test. If I had some free cycles, I think it would be fun to help out with the Spam module, but it has been driving me crazy lately with false positives.
I will be replacing the current image captcha with reCaptcha when I get a chance.
Please note that it's Mollom, not Mollum. I think one of the greatest additions about Mollom is that it's constantly being improved. You mention server issues and a generic "not working too well" as critique and luckily there's an update and planned improvements. Compared to Captcha for instance, this is a huge plus.
I don't see a "conclusion" slide in your presentation. Do you have a preferred spam protection module or method? I see you're using CAPTCHA on this site but from your presentation that didn't seem like the best option.
This idea is now officially in Drupal 7, as mentioned in Angie's release note on DRUPAL-7-0-UNSTABLE-9.
Install profile improvements! Shock! Install profiles are now
basically modules with .install files, .info files to declare
dependencies, etc. If you can write a module, you can write an install
profile, and you can also do everything from install profiles you can
do with modules including use the full Drupal API and write update
functions to move from one version to another.
It has an external crawler that can hit every page; which I hope to integrate very soon. Also boost allows you to cache ajax responses, so it could even look like a server is there when in fact it's not! Once it's cached keep the images and the cache dir. There are 2 other alt's to this as well

The article is almost a year old. The situation is likely to have changed a lot by now.
Thanks, I have fixed the link.

I might be missing the complexities of your situation, but what you describe sounds like a typical use case.

Hi Tao
Thank you for yesterdays presentation and for posting the slides of Spam 2.0

Thanks for putting up the slides, and shedding light on this important topic.
Please note that it's Mollom, not Mollum. I think one of the greatest additions about Mollom is that it's constantly being improved. You mention server issues and a generic "not working too well" as critique and luckily there's an update and planned improvements. Compared to Captcha for instance, this is a huge plus.

Sorry I couldn't make the presentation. Sounds like ReCaptcha is the best defense at this point...
Yeah, this is super-duper exciting. In my personal top 10 Drupal 7 improvements.

I was thinking about using boost, but I assumed you would still need to leave Drupal running behind it. Does it have a "render entire site" feature?
another way of accomplishing this would be using the boost module: http://drupal.org/project/boost
in a nutshell, it'll turn your site into static html
