Exporting your module configuration using Ctools or with custom code - when to use which method?

When I recently joined Scott Reynen as maintainer of the @font-your-face module (blog post), one of the first tasks on my list was to enable site builders to save their font settings using Features. For those not known with Features; it’s a module that saves database settings (views, content types, variables etc) to code.

Using Google Fonts on your Drupal website

Last week Google announced their Font API and Font Directory, which provides a simple, cross-browser method for using any font in the Google Font Directory on your web page. That announcement made me very excited and I decided to spent my evening to make a Google Fonts Drupal module. Building the module didn't took me long (thanks to the powerful Drupal API) so I was able to release a working version of the module the same evening.

Use the Termcase module to apply taxonomy formatting

The project I'm currently working on involves several authors writing a lot of content. They tag all articles and pages with self-entered terms (free-tagging). Because not every author uses the same case for these terms/tags the layout became quite messy.

Inherit the full url of the parent book page by using a Drupal token

Recently I created a book in Drupal using two Content Types. One type called Book Description (which has a cover, an ID and some other CCK fields) and another type called Book Page. So far so good. Problems arose when I tried to setup Pathauto. For the Book Description I entered book/[field_book_id-raw], which worked great. For the Book Pages I needed something like book/[field_book_id-raw]/title-of-my-page. This is where I got stuck.
