| Drupal 7 is set to be released by June. Unfortunately, it can't be released without YOUR help. Please help by downloading the latest and testing out the latest plugins to drupal.
By the way, Drupal 7 eliminates views and replaces it with something else, I forgot. Read the features list of drupal 7 so that you can find out what more cool features there are to drupal 7.
Thanks!

Back to drupal:
Our company has been on other content managagement systems such as custom made, one based on cakephp, another is phpwcms, and another is joomla.
I wonder what are the issues that i'd have to go through to switch over to drupal, and if it's a good idea or not to switch those systems over to drupal, particularly the joomla ones.
I'm not against joomla or anything, it's the most usable piece of cms i've ever seen, and it's customizability through extensions/modules are just so amazing provided you have time to learn through the various functions that are available on joomla. In fact, much of my custom pieces of software are all uhm, apparently,based off joomla - the style of it in fact. I have to improve my website skills.

oh by the way, i've launched my own site based on drupal, hiigara829.turfsiteph.net
it's all blue and i'm wondering what you guys think of it, a mod on marvin theme.

| I just checked today and was going to try downloading it. I have to see if I can update my hosted drupal site.
If you're using drupal 6, here are some pretty good themes which are pretty easy to customize.
Check out twilight,pixture and wabi from Pixture Studio. They are pretty nice. | | comments: Leave a comment |
| For those who would like to master drupal, check out this site:

It's full of video tutorials on drupal.
I found this while surfing opensourcecms.org's user comments (they have a demo of the latest drupal)

| I was checking out buytaert's site and found out about Battlefield heroes, an online free 2 play game offered by EA studios.
I was wondering, along the same lines of creating games, what if we create a module that would allow online games (flash type or of any type) to be developed on drupal?
--Side note: drupal on iphone project- must research.. :) They say you can install opensource on Iphone.

| You can find the original Instructions here: Install Drupal5 on Debian Lenny
My original entry on my ubuntu install experience: 376327
Step one: install php, mysql
(usually apache is already part of ubuntu. replace php5 and mysql with the ones you want or install a xampp (formerly known as lampp) version.
sudo apt-get install [php5] [mysql]
Step two: install drupal5
sudo apt-get install drupal5
Step three: Apache configuration
Change apache2 configuration according to /etc/drupal/5/apache.conf
Alias /drupal5 /usr/share/drupal5
<Directory /usr/share/drupal5/>
Options +FollowSymlinks
AllowOverride All
order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
I finally get what that line means.
(D5 has .htaccess included - as discussed below which enables us to have clean SEO-friendly addresses or *URL* for our sites. Don't forget to enable mod_rewrite in your apache configuration)
Step four: run it at http://localhost/drupal5/install.php
If you want to further make it painless to manipulate drupal5, simply try to symbolic link your /var/www to a folder in your home directory.
ln -s [TARGET] [DIRECTORY]
I think I used /var/www for the target and /home/jose/web for the dir
ln -s /var/www/ /home/(folder you want to link to var www)
Have fun!
Just a thought, what if we remake livejournal using Drupal. That's another discussion. I'm thinking using perl if possible and instead of PHP, using PgSQL.
Then you can create livejournal blog type. The node would just has to be added 1) Mood, 2) Location, 3) Music and use also perhaps use FCK editor instead of TinyMCE.
ETA: (editted to add) if you want, you can just crosspost entries to LJ using this project here: http://drupal.org/project/ljxp | | comments: Leave a comment |
| Not a lot are on livejournal I guess are in the Philippines and are interested enough in drupal to look for my community.
Please join my community site, and also join our groups at http://groups.drupal.org/Philippines
thanks.
I'm going to add like tutorials and stuff on it. Why did I start this? Well maybe to encourage people to learn about drupal and especially for those in the Philippines who have a computer and are on Joomla and for some reason suddenly want to know about Drupal.
It's also for marketing Drupal in my own little way.

| I just extracted a copy of Drupal 6.3 in my thumbdrive.
Let's go through the stuff:
1) includes - default drupal core files which are included
2) misc - for miscellaneous stuff
3) modules = various core drupal modules.
-aggregator, blog, taxonomy, etcetera..
-you have to enable this for them to be accessible - after setting up and logging in go to administer-> modules.
4) profiles = default.profile - these files allow you to install a 'profile' which is an out of the box package of drupal for specific types of sites i.e. blog, or gallery site.. etcetera..
5) scripts = drupal.sh, code-style.pl, cron-curl.sh, cron-lynx.sh, code-clean.sh.
6) sites = here you can manage several drupal sites - sites with different styles with different modules
7) themes
miscellaneous files on drupal 6.3:
a) .htaccess (hmmm-> this is intriguing because only cakephp, symfony and others usually include this by default, but it's good it's here - it means you can "mod_rewrite" (rewrite the URL so as to neatly display categorization i.e. "http://www.example.com/blogs/myblog/path/to/my/post/") - making for SEO friendly URL's in your drupal install)
b) CHANGELOG - obviously a list of changelogs
c) COPYRIGHT - shows copyright information
d) cron.php - important! this file ensures bootstrap of drupal and cleans cache
e) INSTALL, install.php INSTALL mysql, INSTALL pgsql - for installing drupal core
f) LICENSE, MAINTAINERS, robots, update.php, UPGRADE, xmlrpc - self explanatory
Btw this thing powers fastcompany.com, and many others. :) | | comments: Leave a comment |
