patch for drupal ping module

Hello sugree, I was fiddling with the drupal ping module that comes with the install and I could not get it to work at all. I get the "fsockopen(): unable to connect to rpc.pingomatic.com:80 in C:\Programme\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\Drupal\includes\common.inc on line 322." error along with "Failed to notify pingomatic.com (site)" in my logs. I saw your posting saying that technorati does not recommend pingomatic anymore because of downtime. Then I saw your patch for 4.7 at http://drupal.org/node/11148. Does this solve the problem? Does this allow the drupal ping module to work?

Invalid characters in password

Some might say a good password must consist of alphabets, numeric, and special characters. That is not true for all case. Special characters means ~!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}\|;’:",./<>?. It’s good to include these characters in your password to make it more secure. However, some softwares don’t accept some special characters. If the software is good enough, you will see an error message to notify "invalid character(s)" during changing your password. By the way, some softwares can’t show you any error message because they don’t maintain the password database by themselves. I found some issues according to this problem.

Pontomail Webmail Client for Drupal

Simply is the best! Do you ever want to have a good webmail client for internal use only? It should be tightly integrated into your intranet website, e.g., single password and single sign-on. Most of all, it must not be too heavy but effective and easy enough for end-users. Actually, it depends on what your intranet software is. I do recommend you to try Drupal. Drupal has everything you want. And it also has a module to serve a simple webmail client providing single sign-on for you and your colleagues.
