Upload large image files to drupal

I am building a website for a photographer. I want the photographer to be able to do bulk or mass image uploads. Usually the images are very big files around 3MB to 5Mb each. I figured the best way to do this was by using image and image_pub modules. This way the photographer can use the Gallery Remote Java Client to create galleries and preview bulk uploads.

How to make stylesheet refresh automatically

When I build a site, I always make changes to the style.css file. I always add, modify or remove styles, but there was a problem. When someone came to see my site they would see an old version of the site because their browser would cache the style.css file. In order to avoid this, I came up with this drupal recipe or theme snippet.

How to remove the "My account" link

pedro — Thu, 15 May 2008 19:22:00 -0400

This php snippet is useful for customizing the behavior of the "My account" link. Sometimes you want to place a login link in one of the menus. It might be confusing sometimes because after you login, the link won't show as "Logout" but as "My account". This is not ideal so you can use the snippet to make it show as "Logout". Place this code inside your template.php file.
