This is why open source software rules
So I posted a while back that it would be really nice if there was a Drupal module that essential did the same thing as the WordPress Open Book Book Data plugin. To my great happiness, there now is! Book Post is a module for Drupal (version 6) that does essentially the same thing as the Open Book Book Data plugin. I’m really psyched because this code is the last bit I need to make my test conversion of a public library site to Drupal shine. The only downside is that it only works with PHP 5.2 and my personal sandbox is running on PHP 5.1. Sigh. Still I’ve gotten it installed on a test server at work and below are screenshots of it in action.
I’m hoping also that by looking at the code I can learn a bit about Drupal modules and maybe start working on creating some of my own. For now I’m just psyched that someone was able to write a module to answer my question.
