Gordon Heydon (gordon) on hook_form_alter, wysiwyg and ecommerce
In this episode of Drupal Yarns we catch up with one of Australia's first Drupal Developers - Gordon Heydon.
Gordon talks about the origins of hook_form_alter, which began with a patch he wrote in Drupal 4.7 (originally called hook_form_change) in order to facilitate wysiwyg editors in Drupal 4.7 after the demise of Drupal 4.6's hook_textarea.
Gordon talks about how hook_form_alter paved the way for the mantra of 'don't hack core' and how the patch opened the door for much of Drupal's flexibility as we know it.

Rowlands Group has started work on writing a module to allow nodes to be displayed/formatted as a book - adapting Google's 20 Things I learned about the web and browsers to Drupal.
The original site is powered by html5 and Google's app engine (with a basic CMS), our client wishes to use this fetching way of displaying content to display nodes in a book format.
We'll be porting it to both a views row style and a node reference field formatter.
