The relevant information is stored in the locales_source/locales_target tables.

Assuming you're connected to your database (drush sql cli, for instance), the following sql will give you the information you want:

select lid from locales_source where lid not in (select lid from locales_target);

to adapt depending on circumstances, you may have to filter on the translated language on multilingual sites.
For instance, this selects only the french translation.
select lid from locales_source where lid not in (select lid from locales_target where language="fr");

Useful info from locales_source:

  • lid is just the string id.
  • location tells you where the string comes from
  • source is the actual untranslated string

For instance, display location and source for strings untranslated to fr, limit to 10 results:
select location,source from locales_source where lid not in (select lid from locales_target where language="fr") limit 10;

Activity Map

Last modified: July 16, 2009 - 11:47

Activity map module provides you the way to display the Site activity on Google MAP with dynamic realtime updates.

Prerequisites

*We assumes that you already installed & configured the Activity, Gmap, User User Locations (child of Location) modules.

Configurations

  • download and extract the module to the site's modules directory.
  • goto admin/build/modules page and enable it.
  • It will add a new page (activity_map) and one block.
  • goto admins blocks section and enable block to the page where you have to display the block.
  • because the map's configuration is fully depends on the gmap module, you can now use the macros to configure the block and page maps at admin/settings/activity_map page

Image Stretch in Internet Explorer

I was working on one of the themes, which had the following structure :

<div class1> </div class1>
<div class2> </div class2>
<div class3> content </div class3>
<div class4> </ ...

class1 sits on the top and class3 has an image with content.

Now, the stuff worked very fine in Firefox , Opera , and even IE8. But IE6 did not render the top of the border correctly, and ended up showing only a small dot at the top.
When i looked in drupal.org, i found a few replies, which had various intersting options:

  1. Increase the width to the size of image, so it will stretch. --> this was a good option but again I found it less efficient, as it would render my class1 limited
  2. Put a height tag of 1%, IE is notorious in that field --> tried but not worked
  3. Put a font-size: 1px; WORKING !!!!

in the class , class 2, just add a new tag
.class 2 , .class 4 { font-size: 1px}

...and it worked wonders as if nothing was wrong ever. IE 7+ is happy now.

Final Word: In case you are looking for IE 6 fix, then possibly solution 1 will be helpful.

How to record audio and video on Mac OS X

Last modified: August 19, 2009 - 00:21

The following commercial, closed-source programs are widely used to record audio and video on Mac OS X, regardless of source. If you know of others, particularly free and/or open-source equivalents, please add to this list.

  • Audio Hijack Pro, $32 from Rogue Amoeba. Captures audio from any source on Mac OS X, including Skype.
  • Snapz Pro X, $69, from Ambrosia Software Inc. Captures video up to 30 frames per second, with audio. Also captures stills in a variety of formats, with some rudimentary effects available. Downside: Requires considerable time to save captures, during which no other captures can be performed.
  • WireTap Studio, $69, from Ambrosia Software Inc. Captures audio only, from any source that passes through Mac OS X, including Skype. Includes waveform viewer and library functions.
  • ScreenFlow, $99, from Vara Software. Captures audio, screen, camera, mouse and keyboard activity. Includes editing tools.
