When a user logs in, if they have not yet created a content profile, they will be directed to the user profile page where they can fill one out.

settings for login destination

global $user;
$params = array(
	'uid' => $user->uid,
	'type' => 'profile',
	);
// if no profile exists, force user to fill it out
if ($node = node_load($params)) {
	return '';
}
else {
	return 'user/' . $user->uid . '/edit/profile';
}

Remember to omit the <?php tags for your code snippet! Also, substitute the content type you’ve designated as a profile node. Here I’ve used the default type of “profile”.

Alternatives

You could also use the rules module as outlined in content profile’s readme.txt. It contains integration for Rules module and performs a similar function as this snippet.

For my purposes, I didn’t want to install another module to provide functionality that could be achieved with a module I was already using.

I work on a computer every day. I’ve noticed it before, but never really put much thought to it, but there are people I work with that are still poke-typing. It’s not a big deal, but I don’t know how the heck I’d be able to do my job if I couldn’t type on a keyboard without looking. It isn’t exactly the type of thing that goes on a resumé these days, but it’s pretty darn important.

Apple limits these keywords to 100 characters. Now, I don’t know about you, but I can count words up pretty quickly, but it seems no one has successfully been able to deliver me keywords that contain less than 100 characters. I usually don’t figure this out until I’m on the page in itunesconnect that asks me for them and I have to make a decision about what words to drop or adjust to get the app submitted. I created this simple utility to avoid finding out last minute.

This is a work in progress and as such there are no guarantees it will work for you. I don’t have a lot of free time and I whipped this up one afternoon while in between emails. It isn’t fancy and there are no bells or whistles. I find it handy in my day-to-day uploading of applications to Apple and maybe you will too. If anything is broken or you have feedback, please let me know in the comments.

Known Issues

- clicking in the second input box should select all text for easy copying. It doesn’t work in all browsers

- spaces on either side of commas are not stripped out resulting in an extra character. Just ran out of time.

As it turns out, Lightroom 3 will not support PowerPC which, for me, means I’m left out for this upgrade. I do all of my photo processing on a dual 2.7ghz G5 which happens to be plenty fast enough for the task, but is running off the wrong chipset. It’s truly a shame that a perfectly good $3000 tower isn’t capable of running new software. What’s worse is that I can only get about $600 on ebay if I were to try to sell it.

Adobe Lightroom Beta 3 has the following requirements for Mac:

Mac OS

• Intel based processor
• Mac OS X v10.5 or 10.6
• 2GB of RAM
• 1GB of available hard-disk space
• 1,024×768 display

At this point, I’m not sure I’m surprised at this, but I took more photos with my iPhone last week on vacation than I did with my Canon. I think the convenience of having it always in my pocket and the ability to switch to video played a big role. Another factor was that it didn’t draw a whole lot of attention when I used it like the other camera would have.

Overall, I’m happy with results and I don’t quite regret not having the crisper, larger images since I have a handful of decent videos instead.
