Double Click Module Demo

Video by Jeff RobbinsNovember 20, 2006 - 9:34pm

FAIL (the browser should render some flash content, not this).

This videocast is a quick demonstration of my new Double Click module for Drupal 5. (2 Minutes 44 Seconds - 8 MB H.264 MP4)

Video Format?

Nice module. I'm just curious as to why videos are releases in a proprietary format as oppossed to an open source format like OGG or Xvid?

Simply

Because that's what iMovie outputs. MP4 plays fine in VLC and other "open" video players. There's really no reason that we couldn't present alternative formats. If you'd like to convert it we'll can certainly host it here.

great!

Jeff,

Great idea, great module - that's a no brainer to install on just about pretty much any site I do going forward...

cool

i think this is a very cool and useful approach. it pushes websites even more to become "real applications". awsome

Wow, I just saw this on planet drupal.
Boy it seems that drupal 5 is getting sexier ;)

Super Hot!

Jeff, this is super hot. Rad work, man.

Immediate thoughts for implementations of the hook would be a double-click to edit a block. I have yet to get my hands very dirty with Drupal5, but everything I'm seeing makes my mouth all watery.

Thanks for all you do!

It somehow made me

It somehow made me laugh...

Good job, an interesting solution indeed.

I Laughed As Well

I'm sure the people in the room at work were annoyed by little burst of laughter, but I could not help it. Great work, I'm going to see about having the double click just save and go back to edit when you click on the submitt button. I'm just one of those S.O.S (Save often students) guys.

Great work,

Request ...

This is awesome!!! I do have a request for a tutorial...how do you set up a vidcast? I would be interested in setting something up myself for other purposes, but have no idea how you get that going for video (I have learned the audio portion)

Very nice!

Nice job Jeff!

You're modules always solve real-world problems.

I've missed the regular podcasts... here's hoping you're just too damn busy helping get 5.0 ready for release to put one together.

definitely cool.. very

definitely cool.. very creative idea!

hmm...

I'm sure it'd be a lot harder to double click on the node content to edit it (like mediawiki) but it'd be a lot more useful too!

I've implemented this last

I've implemented this last year on my theme but trashed it because it makes double requests to the server. That may not be a big deal but binding two actions to a single link will cause this.

It's nice you made it as a module, but it should be noted for people who run busy sites.

Ah, never mind my last

Ah, never mind my last comment. Looks like you placed a timer to prevent the double request. Nice job!
