Picks of the Week
- Mike - Commerce Customizable Products module by Ryan Szrama (rszrama) - allows the buyers to enter information about a product they're ordering without it having to be a product attribute ("special instructions", for example). Also Finalize the Migration system.
- Ted - Config in Code (CINC) - Scott Reynen. MidCamp Session
- Ryan - Community Spotlight: Aaron Winborn by Leigh Carver. Check Aaron’s D.o Profile to see a few of his contributions. Via Aaron: “In lieu of flowers, please make donations to Hope Loves Company (an organization for children who have or have had a family member living with ALS).”
- Adam - Reroute Email. Forces all outgoing e-mail to go to a predetermined address, so that you don’t spam users by accident during development or testing. A lifesaver of a module, and it’s been around since D5 but I live under a rock.
