Want to customize the menu in Drupal? Wondering what are all those classes in the menu for - when you are not even using a core theme? The most annoying code in the whole CMS is in Drupals menu system and ouputs something like this:
<ul class=“menu”>
<li class=“collapsed”>
<a href=“/index.php?q=node/add”>Create content</a>
Per i principiati creare un sito è davvero un problema. Infatti consiglio sempre di usare un CMS semplice da gestire ma allo stesso tempo efficace.

"Being a WordPress devotee, the shocking thing about Drupal is that it doesn’t have a backup utility built into the core system. Any content management system that relies upon a back-end database should provide a way to back that database up regularly. Shockingly, Drupal doesn’t. But it does have a dedicated community, and there are a number of options out there for backing up your database. The one which I’ve been using lately is the Backup/Migrate module."[via scribble design]
I'm not sure if you guys know but even though I design Blogger (aka Blogspot) skins as well as WordPress ones on the side, my blog is actually running on a Drupal platform. And I'm actually a huge Drupal fan.

Anyhow.

The module uses a Flex interface to search for pictures on your hard drive, allows uploading via drag and drop, and incorporates a Google search for images.

Recently I ran into a problem where by I had to give out RSS of the Forum only from a DRUPAL 5 site, as the website was forum centered but it had blogs also. So when I first used the default rss.xml like () it gave out all the update not only the updated of the Forum that I wanted. I even tried another RSS source but it also had the same output. So problem is: giving out RSS of Forum only, how to do that?Then I was suggested to use the views module, I said to myself views how will it do that? But I was not using the "Arguments" part of views there was the trick. Read the steps below if you want to do it yourself as well:Assumed you have views installed, login as the adminstrator (user1) or user with access to edit views.Goto Administer>>(under Site Buliding) Views>>AddIn the new view conf

School's just started back up. Things had gotten off to a rough start but I believe everything has been smoothed over and I have a really good feeling about this semester. In fact, for one of my projects I'll even be making a 'sequel' to The Price of a Candybar, starring Steve.
In other projects, I've started work on what I will release publicly as a Drupal theme. Drupal's got a great community and I'm going to give back to it the only way I know how. Expect more on that soon.

Last weeks I was working on a new Drupal driven company site. This time I wanted to create my theme from scratch (calles “ANewCompany”) and wanted to use heavy taxonomy for cross linking.
The site is on air now and promises professional web2.0 programming (German).
On the site I use following modules:
Blog, Book, Forum, Poll - for content creation
Comment, Contact - for visitor interaction
Drupal - for site registry
Locale - for string translation and adjustment
Menu, Path - for site navigation
Taxonomy - for cross linking and navigation
Search - for site wide full text search
Statistics - for access statistics
Akismet - for spam protection
Comment mail - for admin notifications
Service links - for social network linking
TinyMCE - as wysiwyg editor
Views - for some data mining and block representation
Fivestar, Voting API - for content voting

We have still not got our whole hand on Drupal yet we managed to get our theme on it. Our theme supports both the Admin and the Client. This is a three column layout because there will be enough content to go all down the sidebar.
Drupal is a bit complex to learn, so instead of having normal notes for installation we decided to have a quick video showing how to install our theme and get it functional as in the demo.
Below is the video showing you how to customize our theme initially.
The demo runs on Whitesquid which was one of our old junk domains….Demo

After some months work with the fabulous Drupal system I have decided to offer professional services for that CMS in Germany. Based on Drupal 5.x I have created four websites last months, one for a community in the real estate business, one for stock investors and two company sites.
I am really good in techniques like hooks, callbacks, templates and modularization from my business experience of the last years with C, C++, JAVA, PHP … on Unix and Windows. So it was pretty easy to get deep into Drupal (also thanks to my experiences with Wordpress and b2evolution as CMS’s). Drupal is fantastic.
Certainly, I will contribute my results (as far as allowed by my customers) back to the Drupal community as open source - and, if requested, I am willing to donate time and work to a German or international Drupal project. And to support the Drupal association with money, I will donate 5% of each Drupal related turnover (must check this against German tax laws first, probably I will ha
Problem
Einige Hoster geben - wahrscheinlich wegen des momentanen Vollmondes - das MySQL Recht CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES nicht an ihre Kunden. Drupal möchte das leider und so muss man es umgehen …
Bei der Installation beispielsweise wird gemeldet:
user warning: Access denied for user: 'drupal@%' to database 'drupal' query: CREATE
TEMPORARY TABLE missing_nids SELECT n.nid, n.created, n.uid FROM node n LEFT
JOIN node_comment_statistics c ON n.nid = c.nid WHERE c.comment_count IS NULL in
/var/websites/drupal/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 167.
Eine Art Lösung
Ich habe für Drupal 5.2 einen Patch erstellt der das Problem lösen sollte. CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES ist in Drupal vorbildlich in eine einzige Funktion db_query_temporary in der Datei includes/database.mysql.inc ausgelagert. Grundsätzlich erstellt dieser Patch statt einer temporären eine richtige Tabelle, deren Erstellungsdatum in einer weiteren Tabelle mit Namen temporary_table gespeichert
Sometimes when setting up a drupal site, the situation appears, that I need a “special translation” for a standard module. I.e. I need a blogging functionality - but I don’t want to call the system a “blog”.
That’s when I need a customized translation of the blogging module. This article is about how to customize drupal strings with the localization feature.
Find the strings to translate
What you need first the the GNU gettext package (it’s contained in every linux distro). From this package you need the program “xgettext”. This program is able to extract the strings from the module code that can be translated (if the module is programed very well, this should be all strings in the code).
Now go the the module’s location (usualy /modules/blog) and type:
xgettext.exe --keyword=t -L PHP blog.module
The L tells xgettext, that this code is PHP code, the keyword tells xgettext, that function “t()” is used for gettext tr
Drupal is one of CMS which at most used by the webmaster to build a web portal. Drupal is more simple is compared to co specific software that is Joomla. Drupal is open-source software that allows an individual or a community of users to easily publish, manage and organize a wide variety of content on a website. (more…)
I’ve started a new Drupal project in the DAX Investment business. It’s kind of “pre-alpha” but it’s already a very interesting project from a technology view. It will contain blocks with high dynamical image content as well as stock quotes. So I will need to look somewhat deeper to caching technology and AJAX.
It will also contain community features like blogs and a forum, so there’s also lot of work to do with taxonomy.
I’ll keep you informed.
Drupal ships with a lot of necessary modules like Blog, Forum, Taxonomy, Poll, Locale …
They do most necessary tasks when building a website. But some modules I frequently need are provided by third parties.
Here is my list of five important third-party modules when building a site with drupal:
CCK - The Content Construction Kit allows you create and customize UI fields that can be added to any content types (Example: When building a song review database you could add a field like “Best top-ten rating” to your song-review content type.).
Views - The views module provides a flexible method to control how lists of content (nodes) are presented. It is essentially a smart query builder that, given enough information, can build the proper query, execute it, and display the results - including but not limited to CCK fields (Example: Create a node that displays song title and best top-ten rating).

So wie ich das hier sehe, wird mir nichts anderes übrig bleiben, als mich erstmals selbst mit Drupal auseinander zu setzen und wenn dies nicht den gewünschten Erfolg bringt, dann den Brocken Typo3 in Angriff zu nehmen
