jon: ok looking at the git stuff
me: gonna git this git going
jon: we'll git er done
me: git yeah

Not a bad evening conversation. Truth is, Jon and I are working on a pretty sweet project that just so happens to have been cultivated by an introduction made via the Boise Young Professionals organization, as well as a $40 million dollar startup failure (which also included a failed Haiti Mission/Kidnapping/Prison/NBC Universal/HP/the mysterious JM, Mel Gibson movie investor waiting on a transaction to close so we can make payroll venture).

True Story.

RewriteRule ^subdirname/(.*)$ /$1 [R=301,NC,L]

yep, this is a handy statement for redirecting all requests from a sub-folder to the root of the site. Say, for example, you have originally built a drupal site in a subdirectory "/drupal" for example..then, say that some users used the ckFinder image uploader to upload files..and perhaps your designer used some references in the css and/or theme to /drupal/image.... Well, to save yourself from headaches, and buy some time while fixing the url's within the site, use this statement:

RewriteRule ^subdir/(.*)$ /$1 [R=301,NC,L]

Sweet, sweet magic.

Epic, commerce configuration extraordinaire - showcasing the power of Drupal Commerce

Some e-commerce challenges are more involved than others. Anyone can plug some products into a pre-built shopping cart, although tailoring a cart to your needs is a much more involved proposition.

Shipping, product attributes, configuration rules, constraints, inventory..the list goes on and on.

While working on solving an intricate ordering challenge for a specific industry, we've come across an excellent write-up involving drupal commerce: http://drupal.org/node/1338172

Develop Idaho was a great event! There's a lot of excitement around entrepreneurship, technology, relationships, and doing business in Idaho. The Idaho Technology Council put on a great event today, connecting talent with opportunity, and trying-to's to the have-done's.

Engineering with business minds, marketing with development, type a's and type b's, x's and o's. Ecosystems are about connecting people, and events like Develop Idaho help to do exactly that.

It was an excellent venue to identify, engage, and promote Idaho business and entrepreneurship.

Boise Web Design - Dynamic Random Content

Submitted by jason on Tue, 2011-04-19 12:11

The most subtle web design change can mean the difference between a bounce and a conversion.

When designing websites, we look at the forest and the trees. What is the simple, clear message that will influence the visitor? What supplementary techniques can we use to further engage and entice?

One thing we like to do, is display a single element randomly from a set. For example, the tagline on our website, which appears below our logo, is a random selection from a set of taglines.

We've input:

The best website projects involve vision, technology, and relationships

In December, we received a referral from a local Drupal developer. They didn't have time to implement a website that was prepared, and asked us if we could.

We were pretty busy, however since the website concept had been defined very well, and the group behind the website was impressive, we agreed to take it on.
