Mediacurrent: My (Drupal) Google Summer of Code Experience
Planet Drupal - Fri, 08/27/2010 - 08:00
This summer I was a mentor for the Google Summer of Code program for Drupal. I maintain the Facebook-style Statuses module, which allows users to have a stream of “status updates” on their user profiles and to write messages on other users’ profiles, like Facebook. So when I had the chance to mentor the Facebook-style Micropublisher proposal, which built on Facebook-style Statuses to allow attaching images, links, and video to status updates, I jumped on it.

Open Source Catholic: 5 Steps to Get a Million Monthly Visitors to your Website
Planet Drupal - Thu, 08/26/2010 - 14:46
There are many things you can do to get more visitors to your website, and attract more attention. Some are more important than others... here are my top five (based on over 10 years of web development experience, and running five top-million websites (according to Alexa):
1. Relevant, well-written contentPeople will link more to content that is well-written or fulfills a need. Then not only do you receive direct traffic from someone else's website, Google picks up on the fact that other people are linking to your content, and your content will have a higher ranking in search results (so, more search traffic as well).

EchoDitto Tech Blog: Drupal 6.x + jQuery 1.4.2 = New Possibilities
Planet Drupal - Thu, 08/26/2010 - 11:06
Blurb for Featured Block: Drupal 6 ships with jQuery 1.2.6, while jQuery is already up to 1.4.2. A lot has happened in those two minor versions, and it's time to bring your Drupal up to date! Here's how...
jQuery is the bread and butter of rapidly developing a highly-interactive websites, and Drupal has long made use of it, and indeed includes it as part of its core install.
There's only one catch... Drupal 6.x (the current stable version of Drupal) is still living in 2008, shipping with the antiquated jQuery 1.2.6. Over the intervening two years since the release of 1.2.6, there have been substantial additions and upgrades to the jQuery library, as well as several tools (such as the jQTouch library) that rely on those changes. As of the writing of this post, the current jQuery version is 1.4.2.
The jquery_update module has done a fantastic job of letting users upgrade the version of jQuery used by Drupal, but unfortunately the jquery_update module got stuck at 1.3.2.

Bojhan Somers: User Experience in the Drupal Universe
Planet Drupal - Thu, 08/26/2010 - 08:22
I presented on my experience doing UX work in the Drupal community: the challenges and opportunities we have towards creating a more richer design community.
Watch original video at MIT TechTV
Taking place in the beautiful MIT Stata Center I truly enjoyed sharing my experiences being in this vibrant community, I feel the discussion that followed from my presentation is the most interesting part.
I feel that it's important to articulate the actual problems well. Drupal has a growing need for design in everything we do, and this will become more and more apparent. I hope to present more often on this topic, because I feel attracting new designers will be crucial in this stage.
On a different note, I have joined User Intelligence running an internship as User Experience Consultant till the end of this year. Exciting stuff!

Matt Butcher: Reflections on Google Summer of Code
Planet Drupal - Thu, 08/26/2010 - 08:20
This was the second year that I have been involved as a mentor for Google's Summer of Code program. And in both cases, I've worked as a mentor for Drupal. Last year, I worked with sivaji on a project involving the Quiz module. This year, I worked with eabrand on QueryPath and the QueryPath module.
In both cases, the projects were highly successful. I'm thrilled to have had the opportunity to work with two very gifted up-and-coming developers.
I think one of the most critical questions to ask of any program like GSOC, is whether or not it produces the results (pedagogical and professional) that it is after. With both Sivaji and Emily, the answer is a resounding yes.

Palantir: Adobe and Services and You
Planet Drupal - Wed, 08/25/2010 - 15:29
At Drupalcon Paris, Roy Scholten (yoroy) kept an amazing journal of notes from the sessions he attended, combined with illustrations that focused on noteworthy themes being presented by the speakers. I thought this was a really cool way to capture the essence of a session and kind of linger over and focus on the ideas that stuck with you. In that spirit I drew the following at a personal moment during Dries' keynote in Drupalcon San Francisco. While I am nowhere near Roy's talent as an artist, I think it manages to capture the moment.

Metal Toad: Nesting Views like a Mecha-Eagle
Planet Drupal - Wed, 08/25/2010 - 14:52
As you have probably figured out, I love views. I love teasing out little features that are completely buried and obscure. Nesting Views is one of my favorite new travesties; not sure if it's ready for Drupal for Evil, but it's certainly not kosher.

Heine Deelstra: Unserializing user-supplied data, a bad idea
Planet Drupal - Wed, 08/25/2010 - 13:59
Apart from PHP bugs and Denial of Service attacks, there's another reason why calling unserialize on user-supplied data (cookies, hidden form fields) is a bad idea.

Arthur Foelsche: Hooks and Queues - Media Mover 2 Improvements
Planet Drupal - Wed, 08/25/2010 - 13:28
As Media Mover 2 finally moves toward alpha, I've taken the risk of doing some significant refactoring- or at least improvements- to make the transition to Drupal 7 easier as well as to provide a much more robust platform people to start leveraging.
Similar to Drupal 7's hook_file_load, Media Mover now offers hook_media_mover_file_load() and hook_media_mover_file_save(). This allows for easy altering of files as they pass through the system. These are both cache aware so you can still benefit from caching while having the ability to avoid modifying a cached file if your modifications are not dynamic (cached Media Mover files have $file->cached set). Steps and configurations are also alterable on load and save.

Aten Design Group: August Denver Drupal Meetup Recap
Planet Drupal - Wed, 08/25/2010 - 13:11
Despite the absence of those who had gone to DrupalCon Copenhagen, the August Denver Drupal meet-up had a good turnout and was a great success. A lot of questions were answered and three short presentations were given about theming regions, drush and data migration.
Theming RegionsJoel gave the first presentation in response to a question about a particular theme. Often when you purchase or download a drupal theme, the theme may not exactly fit your needs. In this particular case, the theme only included a left region and a content region, which made it difficult to modify the navigation at the top of the page. Joel quickly demonstrated how to modify the theme:
- Go into your theme folder and open the .info file.
In the file you'll see some region declarations that look like:
region[variable] = "Admin Text"
In this example, "variable" is what you'll use later to insert the region into your theme template. "Admin Text" is what appears in the Drupal block administration interface.
Add your new region and give it an appropriate variable and admin text, then save your info file.Categories: Dev Feeds
Fusion Drupal Themes: Screencast: Using & creating Skinr skin sets
Planet Drupal - Wed, 08/25/2010 - 13:06
One of the most exciting new features in Skinr 2.x (docs on how to install) is the ability to have “skin sets” as their own entity, rather than defined in the theme’s info file. This means you can have Skinr styles in your sites/*/skins directory, and they can be enabled/disabled like modules, shared across sites or themes, and generally more easily managed.
We’ve started to put together a repository of these downloadable skin sets for Fusion so that others can share their favourites, and we can post more snippets of useful Drupal theme code without needing to clutter up Fusion itself. Any requests? :)
This screencast shows the basics of using or creating your own skin set for Skinr 2.x.

Lullabot: Drupal Voices 155: Konstantin Kafer on the Form API States System
Planet Drupal - Wed, 08/25/2010 - 12:45
Konstantin Käfer (aka kkafer) talks about the Form API States System for Drupal 7. The states system allows you to create dependencies between form elements so that you can for example make a textbox disappear when a checkbox is checked. The Examples for Developers module has some more examples of the #states syntax on api.drupal.org. For more detailed information on how to use the states system, we cover it in Chapter 12 of the jQuery & JavaScript in Drupal Lullabot Learing Series video.
