Database Fun with Schema Module

Drupal version: 6.x

November 14, 2008

This video is an introduction to the Schema module. This is a great module if you'd like a peek at how your Drupal database is set up (with descriptions!) or if you are building a new module and you'd like someone else to magically create the schema for your .install file. It can also check your database and tell you if anyone has monkeyed with the way Drupal thinks it should be set up. This introduction touches on all of these features and gives a good overview on how to use this really cool module.

Schema module is super cool! That's the one problem with a lot of modules, you miss gems in the sand.

This video just added me a new fav module! Thanks.

Non-functioning Download tab

Hi folks -- love all your podcasts, but....

Videos with "play" and "download" tabs actually don't facilitate download -- the download tab just wants to play the vid -- jerkily -- and since it's not an actual link there's no right-click to download option. (This on FF 1.5 and IE6)

Any chance of a solution to this? I'm hoping to download a couple of these to make them watchable.

Thanks, Graham

iTunes / iPhone

My iphone says the URL is invalid for the itunes subscribe links, and a search for lullabot in iTunes doesn't find you...

I often am stuck places with nothing to do and I would really like to be able to access your video and audio podcasts on my iPhone. Yes?

Hi -- I'm new to Drupal and am just getting immersed in the project and app and looking forward to when I can get our website on Drupal. I had this same issue with Firefox. I solved it by changing my options -- under the Applications tab I changed the mpeg-4 settings (for audio and video) from using the plug in to iTunes. When I did this, it downloaded and began playing in iTunes with no problem.

You Rock!
