Drupal 7. Injecting form validators the right way.
Drupal has a very neat feature for form validations. The form holds a flat array '#validate' that is simply a list of functions to be executed when validating the form in question. Our example validator for today will be the login form. The array looks like this by default.

Finally got the site up to 7.x
Finally found the time to update - well parts - the site to drupal 7. Somewhat of a pain in the ass when you work with 7 but still use 6 for yourself. It's really getting a little bit old these days.
Fun with Apache Solr. Deep content indexing of pdf, doc and whatever you please
I recently upgraded the search with Apache Solr. The search function itself is actually far from finished and since I wasn't deep indexing before I'm a little short of proper documents to index at the moment. The bottom line is: It's awesomeness and then some. And the best part about it. If you have it configured properly once it's pretty much a self employed document indexer. You attach the document to a page, blog or $_whatever and a bit later it's automagically indexed.
