Hello, I now got plenty of responses! Thank you!

Hello, I'm a fellow freelance Drupal developer, looking for someone with Ubercart skills, this is for Drupal 5.x, Ubercart 1.x. Currently need help with one task, possibly 2h of work, cap at 4h. You would be sub contracted by me to address the issue. In the future, possibly more work.

Please contact me if you are good at Ubercart, or know someone who is:

thanks!

I have setup a podcast site with the iTunes module. I have added the itunes image into the feed, but unlike many other feeds, there is not standard tag. I do not have a thumbnail coming up in the iTunes directory and my suspicion is that it's this missing image tag that is causing the issue. How can I add an tag to my feed?

This week,
Packt Publishing has been announcing the winners of their 2009 open source CMS awards. Today they announced that Drupal was the first winner of a brand new category introduced this year: the Hall of Fame award. This new category featured a competition between Drupal and Joomla!, the previous winners of the Best CMS Award, an award neither is eligible for this year.

As a subset of this new award, Packt also announced the results of two new awards, recognizing specific contributions within the Drupal and Joomla! communities. Best Drupal Theme was won by a wide margin by Zen, and no real surprise there. Congratulations to Zen maintainer John Albin (JohnAlbin) and thanks for all your fantastic work. Best Drupal Module award was, again unsurprisingly, won by Views, with CCK a creditable second. Well done to Views maintainer Earl Miles (merlinofchaos) and thanks for the most incredible chunk of functionality I've ever used.

Earlier in the week Drupal also won the 2009 award for Best Open Source PHP CMS for the second year in a row. No surprise that Joomla! was in the mix and that the vote was close, but it is surprising that Drupal only narrowly beat out Wordpress. Of course there are a lot of really good reasons why Wordpress, excellent though it is, belongs in a different category to far more comprehensive CMSs like Drupal and Joomla!, and this is reflected in discussions on that thread. Both are excellent projects, but Wordpress is a great choice for simpler sites, but not for anything with even basic content/data complexity.

One final award that concerns Drupal is the Most Valued People from Open Source Content Management Systems award, and no surprise that Drupal founder Dries Buytaert (Dries) was Drupal's MVP.

In other awards Best Other Open Source CMS (i.e. non-PHP) was, for the second year in a row, won by Plone, a really excellent Python-based CMS. Runners up were dotCMS and mojoPortal. My own feeling is that Wordpress is the best option for simple sites, kind of a fourth Musketeer, with the Three Musketeers being Drupal, Joomla! and Plone, the latter being the best of the bunch for more complex sites and sites that need to evolve. All four are outstanding open source projects and powerful tools in the web developer's arsenal.

Most Promising Open Source CMS was won by ImpressCMS, with Pixie and Pligg tied for second. This is kind of like a Best Rookie award.

Tomorrow Packt will announce the winner for Best Overall Open Source CMS, the award won in 2007 and 2008 by Drupal and for which we were no longer eligible this year. Nominees are DotNetNuke, MODx, SilverStripe, WordPress and XOOPS and I would be stunned if Wordpress does not win that and I wonder if any debate with result from this.

See the overview of this year's awards for more information, including prize money, award details, runners up, etc. You can also see their list of previous award winners (Drupal won Best Overall and Best PHP in 2008 and Best Overall in 2007).

I'm looking for some advice.

I'm working with a client who will be switching to Drupal with Ubercart as their primary e-commerce system. Part of our content delivery has to do with subscriptions. We have several hundred products, and we want to be able to sell a subscription for each individual product.

A zero-day flaw in the TLS and SSL protocols has been made public and man-in-the-middle attacks have been demonstrated. I caught wind of this off of ZDnet.

Thoughts?

Back in the 4.7 days, I recall that installing drupal in a subdirectory could cause major headaches with some of the contrib modules and was in general kind of a pain. Has anyone worked with drupal in a subdirectory in D6 recently? If so, I'd really appreciate hearing about your experience.

Alright, so here's the situation from which my question stems:

I am building a website for a client, and they want to have a content type of "project", which is a piece of content relating to a project they are currently undertaking. The internals of that content are not important, however given the sensitive nature of their industry (prototyping), they want the pieces of content to have SOME variety of security, and not visible to anyone.

I am working on a new site to revive the Cort and Fatboy podcast and I am installing my main modules, but Views is not showing up after I install it. Any ideas?

• Node Reference and Node Referrer: Two great modules that go great together. Greg Perry from Dorey Design Group will present an overview of using Node Reference and Node Referrer to create relationships between content.
