How do you delete a contact when a drupal user is deleted
Tom (http://www.kirkdesigns.co.uk/) wanted to delete the civicrm contact if the drupal user was deleted. The solution was to implement hook_user that gets called before... Read more- 2 comments

On a daily basis, we get quite a few interesting bugs / feature requests either via the IRC Channel or via the forums.
We figured that blogging about these requests will be of general interest (inspired by Acquia's S-Files blog). Here are a couple of things that have come up the past few weeks.
- IRC user proverse (David H) reported some strange interaction between export, contact View/Edit and the caching system. I spent a fair amount of time logged onto his system and tracing the behavior. It finally came down to over-running a mysql database 'text' field (in civicrm_cache) table. Along the way i also hardened some of the export code. You can track the issue and patches CRM-4571. A similar issue bit us...

Read moreTrellon has been working on a fairly large implementation of CiviCRM for an advocacy group based in DC that was seeking to implement a CRM system that will help them manage their online fundraising and email marketing program. Email marketing is a large part of the organization's outreach strategy, so having a mail system that can deliver their 50,000+ emails in a short amount of time was a necessity.
We explored methods for optimizing CiviMail and decided to follow recommendations made by Lobo on the CiviCRM wiki. We set up the client mail and database server on a dedicated server with an Intel 2 Quad Core 2Ghz processor, 16GB of RAM, and 70 GB of disk space. We wrote some custom scripts to batch emails over to the mail server on cron to increase delivery speeds as well.
We have been able to get some really good times on delivery...

A Make It Happen to move this into core for CiviCRM is currently running for v4.1. You can help make it happen by contributing here
Discounting events has been requested on the forums a few times. It also popped up both on IRC yesterday and was also needed on civicrm.org for our upcoming UK Training Camp. We decided to see if we could implement this via hooks and minimal / no changes to the core code. Turned out we can implement this this feature using three civicrm hooks and a helper fuction. We improved the core a wee bit by allowing the buildForm hook to inform the tpl system of any form elements added. The tpl then places these form elements at the top of the form. An event can have zero or more coupons. Coupons for an event are stored in the option group / value table. Each coupon code is a string (chosen by admin) and can...

Read more- Traditional reporting solutions: BIRT, Jasper Reports and/or Crystal Reports. We demoed an integration with BIRT a few releases back, but this did not get any traction. There are a couple of larger deployments that have built custom reports using BIRT and Jasper.
- Views2 and CiviCRM integration. However the lack of grouping / sub-total functionality has prevented this from being a complete reporting solution. This is also a drupal only solution
- Custom Drupal modules / Joomla components. Quite a few folks have gone down this path, but there has not been a lot of sharing of these reports within the community
