Highcharts is a charting library written in pure HTML5/JavaScript. Without generating the image we can display the graph. I had a requirement to generate a multiple graph on a single page in a Drupal site. Read on to know how to implement multiple graphs on single page in Drupal using highchart.

If you are a web developer then in some point of time some client may have asked you to develop sites one for desktop and one for mobile, (probably in iPhone) with almost same contents. If you meet that client again after 2 or 3 years he will ask you to develop more than 5 sites to view it in different popular devices. I don't think it is a good solution to have bespoke designs for each device, since our device landscape is rapidly progressing. So we developers should start thinking radically to meet with this issue.

Sometimes after ubuntu installation we may find certain notification box saying "System program problem detected". This is because the notification is enabled in the apport file in the system.

Version control system is used to track the history of the files. Also we can revert the files to another version. Version control system will increase the potential of parallel and distributed work , ie it will track time , merge changes and manage the history of changes in the file.If you are a Drupal developer you might find Git a useful tool. Here a few commands that are to be familiar by a Drupal developer

In the last year or so we have been in the process of transitioning from a small business to a medium size business. With over 50 people in the rolls it was time we moved away from a bunch of people working with and around a single individual to a more structured organizaiton. As part of this transition we have been looking to change gears on our marketing initiatives. For the first time since we started our business we now have a business development team and we have active business development activities going on.

In the wake of the recent Companies Bill, there has been much writing on the provision for Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). It has been taken up in right earnest by companies, industry bodies, think tanks and non government organisations. While the case for mandating CSR is well made, it is important to situate the CSR provisions of the Bill in a context and suggest possible directions for companies for whom CSR is a novel idea. This piece attempts to do just that. INTRODUCTION

Zyxware conducted a session on "Introduction to Moodle" at LBS Institute of Technology for Women, Trivandrum on 2013-11-01. The session was taken for the faculty at the college to help them build an understanding of Moodle as they gear to start using Moodle as a teaching platform at the college.

Every business is continuously looking to hire people who are right for them. So are we. One key question is how do we know who is right for us from amongst the many who apply to us. Again as with any other business, we have tried to define what are the key attributes we need in our people and then devise a selection mechanism to assess people on those attributes. As a business which is heavily dependent on people, we have a significant investment on the selection side. We have a 5 stage selection process beginning with an on-line aptitude test and ending with an interview by the C.E.O. In the final interview we look for attributes like ability for systematic pursuit in a chosen area, self efficacy, analytical abilities, depth of understanding, ability to present in a structured manner, attitudes to work and work place issues and so on.

On one of our recent projects we had an issue where the Drupal site search was not working. There was a search.html file present in the home folder to handle a Google custom search page outside of Drupal. Since the filename was not the same as the drupal search path we did not expect it to be the cause for the Drupal search to not work.

We have created and released a new module Boost Captcha to allow static page caching of pages with forms with captcha without running into the captcha session timeout errors. By helping boost cache more pages the module will allow for better performance without compromising on spam protection.

We have released a new Drupal module to fight spam - Spam Blackhole. This is a simple module to fight automated spam submissions on Drupal sites by bots that are not manually supervised. The module requires that Javascript is enabled on the site that is running the module. The module works by replacing the form action with a dummy URL while the form is generated from Drupal and then replacing the dummy URL with the actual URL when the user clicks the form submit button.

Employees, especially freshers are usually concerned about the salary they get in hand and not really keen on deductions for ESI and PF as they do not promise immediate returns. Employers are usually not keen on providing them either as it requires time, effort and money to enforce it coupled with the fact that the employees are not keen on it in the first place. However after having implemented such a policy in Zyxware for the past two years we have come to understand its significance and the reasoning that gave birth to them which has led us to write about it.

I was trying to get a list of MIDI files play in banshee 2.0 in an old computer. The system had Ubuntu 11.04 and banshee was able to play MIDI files except that it was not able to detect the end of each track and continued playing the same track with silence as the only output and infinitely playing the same track. So whenever there was a long silence I had to manually change to the next track. I did that a few times but then decided to write a small script to solve the problem.
