Bootstrap forms – tools

I assume folks know, but there are multiple boilerplate generators out there for quickly fleshing out bootstrap forms, on even whole pages.

Like here, drag and drop some form controls and then grap the html under the Rendered tab:
jetstrap is one that allows more mockup:
anyway, a time saver.

Typical github steps moving in a new repository

Global setup:
Set up git
git config --global user.name "Dave Parizek"
git config --global user.email dude@wherever.com

Next steps:
mkdir UAC
cd UAC
git init
touch README
git add README
git commit -m 'first commit'
git remote add origin git@github.com:BioComputing/UAC.git
git push -u origin master

Existing Git Repo?
cd existing_git_repo
git remote add origin git@github.com:BioComputing/UAC.git
git push -u origin master

Restarting Apache, different ways

Just reference for restarting apache, different strokes for different servers:

# /etc/init.d/httpd restart
# /etc/init.d/httpd start
# /etc/init.d/httpd stop

# service httpd restart

# apachectl -k graceful

sometimes you need sudo because it might only see the path from root

 

Oops, deleted super user Drupal 6, what to do? maybe you emptied user table?

I left my thinking cap off and emptied the user table of a dev Drupal 6 site I was working on. If that happens to you, just access your database with phpMyAdmin or similar, and:

INSERT INTO users (uid, name, pass) VALUES ('1', 'yourname', md5('yourpassword'));

then edit the users table further to add your email address and set status = 1.

Drupal 6 Programmatically Create Users

How to programmatically create new users in Drupal 6:

'username',
'pass' => 'password', // note: do not md5 the password
'mail' => 'email address',
'status' => 1,
'init' => 'email address'
);
user_save(null, $newUser);
?>

To update an existing user:

some_property = 'what_you_want_to_set_it_to';

// save existing user
user_save((object) array('uid' => $existingUser->uid), (array) $existingUser);
?>

List of Citizen Science applications / web sites / mobile phone applications

Hello. I am trying to compile a list of web sites and mobile phone applications wherein people are using technology to enable citizen science. If you know of a project I do not have listed, can you add it via the comments, and I will add it to the list? Thanks!

Notes

eBird and Cornell seem most successful, check out these quick facts: More than 60 scientific papers have used Cornell Lab citizen-science data since 1997
97,331 checklists reported from the four-day Great Backyard Bird Count in 2010
More than 96,000 nesting attempts reported to the Cornell Lab since 1997
1,000,000 bird observations reported to eBird on average each month
More than 80,000,000 bird observations in the Avian Knowledge Network

EpiCollect

http://www.epicollect.net/

EpiCollect.net provides a web application for the generation of forms and freely hosted project websites (using Google's AppEngine) for many kinds of mobile data collection projects.
Data can be collected using multiple mobile phones running either the Android Operating system or the iPhone (using the EpiCollect mobile app) and all data can be synchronised from the phones and viewed centrally (using Google Maps) via the Project website or directly on the phones.
