*UPDATED* Seeking a passionate Drupal Developer | Demotix.com
We are Demotix and we are looking for full time developers to become Demotix too!
Demotix (from demos/Δήμος, meaning ‘people’) is a multi-award winning photojournalism website and newswire: www.demotix.com
We've been called "Journalism for the 21st Century" (Telegraph), the HuffingtonPost thinks we "may change the way news is reported", and TechCrunch reckon we're "reinventing the newswire". Another way of describing us is that we're citizen journalism on steroids: truly empowering (and paying for) local story-tellers around the world.
Read moreIs anyone familiar with the web widgets module?
I'm just wondering if anyone here has used the web widgets module being developed by Phase II technologies on a Drupal 7 site? (http://drupal.org/project/web_widgets)
It's still in the alpha stages, but I wanted to see if someone could share their thoughts on its use. Being able to export content from a Drupal site via embedable widgets would have lots of value for a news site.
Does it worked well?... Is it easy to export/embed?... How is the styling was handled?..., etc...
Thanks.

Is Drupal awareness growing in Nigeria
Newspaper Themes for Drupal 7
Hi,
I own a small hyperlocal news website and have a limited budget.
I am using Open Publish 3 and was using the Gazette theme that came with it, but people didn't seem to like it very much.
Since then, I've bounced around from theme to theme and I've been unsatisfied.
Most premium themes cost about $40 to $80. I'm willing to pay $300 or more for a good one that has ample space for advertising slots.
I've decided that dynamic display blocks are really over rated. I'm just looking for an attractive, newsy-looking theme that is easy to customize.

Read moreHow to keep views slideshow from switching when playing video?
I've created a views slideshow with photos and videos, but when I play the video, the slideshow switches to the next slide before the video gets a chance to finish. How do I keep the views slideshow from switching slides when a video is playing?
I tried to set the slideshow to "pause on click", as opposed to "pause on hover", but that doesn't seem to help.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Inject Ads into Teaser List
I am looking for a module or method to inject banner ads (these would be direct sales banner ads, sold and placed by the site owner, not Google Adsense ads, etc.) into a teaser list at a certain spot in a teaser list (for example, the default front page when Articles are promoted to the front page). For example, I would like a banner ad to appear after the third teaser listed on the front page.
Read moreBanner Ads and Responsive Web Design
Has anyone out there had any experience with banner ads on a responsive web design on Drupal? I've started on a project assuming there was a solution to this, and it seems as though this is a subject in flux, since banner ad sizes are traditionally a fixed height and width.
If anyone out there has any experience on solutions, I would appreciate hearing about it. I am assuming that the revenue model has to change. Thoughts?
I guess this requires backup restore.
Please see attachment.
I guess there is no way out of this except for a backup restore .... yes?
I had just installed OpenPublish and was enabling many modules at once.
Core update procedure for OpenPublish
I have successfully updated Drupal core previously by deleting and replacing all folders and files except the 'sites' folder.
I have installed OpenPublish today and tried the same approach with to update Drupal core from 7.16 to 7.17.

Notice: Undefined index: sidebar_first in include() (line 138 of C:\wamp\www\example.net.au\openpublish\modules\system\page.tpl.php).
