[Free Webinar] Drupal 8: Frontend for Backenders
Drupal 8 will ship with a fancy new template engine (Twig) and a simpler theme layer. In this webinar, our speaker will show you some goodies from Twig and give you a walkthrough on how to get started with it.
He will also talk about the major problems that people were facing in working with Drupal 7 and what the community has done to make it better. This webinar will show - in both practical examples and on a broader scale - why Drupal 8 will make peace between backenders and frontenders.

Students looking for Drupal Case Study
We are apart of the the Applied Technology in Business (ATiB) program here at Oakland University in Rochester Michigan. Our assignment is to complete a case study on a business or non-profit that has implemented a Drupal site within the last year or so.

Read moreUK Cookie Law - are there now thousands of "illegal" Drupal 6 sites in the UK?
Drupal 6 tends to set an anonymous cookie by default. I recently did a quick check of UK sites and found many which are indeed setting cookies but don't have one of the available compliance modules installed. From my understanding of the law, the standard D6 anonymous cookie may be exempt if it could be proven that:
-
it is required for proper use of the site (probably not the case) and
-
isn't used in a way that would identify the user on returning to the site such that displayed contained would be customised for them in some way.
Installing Drush on Win 7 so it runs in a Git Bash Window
All,
I noticed that quite a few people in the Drupal Easy Career Starter Program could not get drush to work in their git bash windows.
This is because the software was not installed with the correct option! When you install drush using the Drush 5.7 Windows Installer, the attached screen will appear.
If you notice, there are three boxes that are "X" out. The second box / line is titled "Register Environmental Variables". You should un "X" this box. When you click on this box, you will receive a drop down menu. Choose "Will be installed on local hard drive".
Read moreOops - System told me first two were rejected as spam.
All,
Sorry about the multiple posting. The first two times I submitted the article, the system told me that my article was rejected as spam because I did not get the letters right.
So I entered entered it again, and received the same error message. So I submitted it again and use the verbal version and it was finally accepted. Well, come to find out - even though Drupal Groups told me the first two were rejected as spam, the articles were actually accepted.
This is probably a bug. It should not tell me that it was rejected if the article was accepted.

I am building a website for NGO. I would like to have a page for donate which asks for credit card information just like https://www.habitat.org/cd/giving/donate.aspx?link=141 and preferably recurring donation.

I am not aware of how to implement it but I think it needs SSL integration.
