On Visual Design Challenges, or Can you make it darker than that?

 Re: On Visual Design Challenges, or Can you make it darker than that?
Thanks Matt. At first I thought they where saying 'squares' where the same color (wrong), but the A & B are the same color. There is no text explaining the 'thing'. Patrick

Happy Friday everyone. Or Saturday for the folk in Asia.
I just found this, and had to pull out KColorPicker to verify. The
experience reminded me of the frustration of dealing with clients who
make vague requests for pointless or impossible visual design changes.

Square's A and B are the exact same color. Really.
That's why I'll stick to writing code, thank you very much. :-)
Enjoy!

Re: On Visual Design Challenges, or Can you make it darker than that?
The squares are the
same color. Both squares are the same color of gray. Test them in a
drawing program. The eye adjusts to the surrounding colors...the
increased shadowing in the surrounding squares and the perceived
contrast cause the optical illusion.

NO-Way! Are you telling me the squares are the same color? Oh I got to check this out. Thanks, Patrick

Re: On Visual Design Challenges, or Can you make it darker than that?
Hi Matt, I just could not believe that the squares are the same color. I also used the eye dropper to compare -- same. Still did not believe it. Printed out two copies of the pic and cut out the A to place it over the B -- yep they are the same. Just goes to show you... you can't trust your own eyes. Thanks, Patrick

Re: On Visual Design Challenges, or Can you make it darker than that?
Our eyes fool us because our brain fills in context, and equates the
"white" squares as being the same, especially in contrast to the
"black" squares. It's a great illustration of how we don't see what we
see, we see what we interpret. (Art 101 exercise: draw a chair in your
room, but draw only what you see, don't draw lines representing the
edges -- the lines aren't there. It takes work to see the light
instead of the form.)
Which informs us on interaction design as well. Identical offerings
may in fact be seen differently in different contexts because our
brains interpret them differently.
(I love this stuff!)

Oh yeah, but what can you do with code, use a mathematical formulae to choose colours or just type the hex code randomly?
My point: doesn't matter what the colors are really (if equal or not). The user experience is far more important.

"Forced" path redirect?
Hi,
Need advice from "path" magician :)
On the old site had content url path system wich is different from new one.
Now found, that there are some valuable backlinks to the old and obsolete
urls. Thought this is simple - install Path Redirect module and everything
is solved, but: some of those old links have pretty similar structure to
currently used views, and produce real (useless) pages when trying to access
them. When I try to add path redirect - getting "You cannot create a
redirect from a currently valid path." error.
Is there a way to do some kind of "forced" redirect? In Drupal 6 way
preferably...
Thank you.

Re: "Forced" path redirect?
Hi Audrius, You can add individual aliases — more than one per page, if you'd like — from the path module (admin/build/path). That'll ensure that the old URLs, assuming you still have them on hand, will get users to the new locations.

Re: "Forced" path redirect?
Yes, but then there will be duplicate content. I am still
hoping to fit some kind of 301 redirect
solution.

No duplicate content if you also use Global Redirect module.

Re: "Forced" path redirect?
So, if I have node with more than one path alias, how global_redirect will
understand which one is "the best" one?
P.s. global_redirect is causing infinite loop on that site - but this is
another case.

Re: "Forced" path redirect?
I don't think the core alias system solves this, whether alone or in
combination with global redirect.
I suggest you file an issue with path_redirect to get an option on the
administration form that lets you override this restriction. In the
short term you can also use Path redirects API or do direct inserts
into the database.

Re: "Forced" path redirect?
Hi, I am not sure if the list will accept attachments, one way to find out. Attached is a module I wrote for drupal 5 to do just this. Create menu items for bookmarks and hyperlinks from other sites, for old site content, to map to new content locations. It does not use aliases it actually creates the new MENU_CALLBACK menu items and redirects to the new content. No hassles with duplicate urls or them being retrieved by search engine bots.
If this is something that will be useful to others, let me know and I will create it as a contrib project and port to D6. -- Nick Lombard contact #: +27 82 413 9931 jabber id: nick@...

Hi,

On the old site had content url path system wich is different from new one.
Now found, that there are some valuable backlinks to the old and obsolete
urls. Thought this is simple - install Path Redirect module and everything
is solved, but: some of those old links have pretty similar structure to
currently used views, and produce real (useless) pages when trying to access
them. When I try to add path redirect - getting "You cannot create a
redirect from a currently valid path." error.
Is there a way to do some kind of "forced" redirect? In Drupal 6 way
preferably...
Thank you.

Re: "Forced" path redirect?
In Drupal 6 this would have scalability problems due to the way menu
items are stored/retrieved. I think the solution that path_redirect
takes is functionally the same and more scalable.

I agree if we take the same approach as with the no-cache drupal 5 version, but for drupal 6 menu system we can still make this solution viable. The bookmarks are configured via a settings form and when saved we can update and refresh the menu cache once only. But ymmv!
