We're considering building an AIR app that (at least) uses Drupal as the back-end data source. We were wondering whether we'd also be able to display a Drupal View from within the AIR app (using Services) or not? Same question applies for any custom modules we may build in Drupal.

The reason we are asking, is because we have an existing D6 site with Views and custom reporting modules, and we'd like to leverage those in an AIR app.

Is anyone using the new Drupal editing features in Dreamweaver CS5? I watched a video that was impressive, but it was based on editing a Wordpress site in Dreamweaver CS5. I am wondering if there is any information out there about using it on a Drupal site; videos, tutorials, podcasts, articles.

Hello,

I've got a Flex aggregator app that currently only works when running on localhost on my development server. If I try to run it on other networks it doesn't work. I've placed a crossdomain.xml file in my server root, but that doesn't help. The only other weird issue is that if I take my computer to another network it will run on my computer on different networks. Any ideas?

Thanks

Ok it's time to come out of shell: we are on the verge of securing “Beijing IT Developer Conference Week”.

It will provide free-of-cost to following:
1. A 2,000-3,000 square meter, conference venue, with main pavilion and partitioned classrooms
2. Linguistic support, with instantaneous translations and headsets
3. Sound/video equipment, personnel and recording
4. Security/attendants
5. Internet connection

Caveats:
1. Timing has to be either April, or July of 2010

Hello,

I've never posted in this group, but was trying to gauge interest in a Flex Chat application for Drupal that I've been working on. I'm a hobbyist so all my work on this project has been in my free time from my normal job so it's been slow going. I basically have an pre-alpha build of the module right now. It includes a flex chat services module I created to interface between flex and Drupal.

Adobe's annual MAX conference is taking place this October 4-7th in Los Angeles, CA. I will be presenting three Drupal related sessions at this conference for Adobe. Most of my sessions show people how to customize Drupal 6 through themes, modules, and its administration. My sessions are 1-1.5hrs, with one session being a lab (BYOL: Bring Your Own Laptop Lab).

Adobe MAX is a paid conference, and has something like over 200 sessions. Early bird discount still available (as of this writing).

My sessions are:

• Customizing Drupal Using Dreamweaver - skill: Beginner - Learn how to install Drupal, a robust, full-featured web content management system, and publish your first pages. You'll be guided through common designer workflows using Drupal and learn how to customize Drupal theme templates. When this lab is complete, you'll be able to take your new skills back to work and be more productive.
• Exploring Web Content Management Systems from a Designer's Perspective - skill: Beginner - Watch an expert guide you through a selection of today's popular web content management systems and learn which one is right for you. This session will include detailed demonstrations of WordPress, Drupal, and the Adobe InContext Editing service in action, covering installation and publishing.
• Learn to Rock Drupal Using Dreamweaver - skill: Beginner - Explore the functionality of Drupal from a designer's perspective while learning about the most common workflows. Learn how to integrate Drupal with Dreamweaver and how to use Creative Suite 4 Web Premium to customize Drupal theme templates.

I have presented at MAX before, and attended twice. This conference is huge. Last year 5,000 attendees ran around chatting Flash, Flex, AIR, Photoshop, After Effects, everything Adobe. One of the new things Adobe has done at MAX is run un-conferences inside the main conference building. Last year there were four un-conferences going on all week inside MAX, adding to the already hundreds of sessions. This year I am involved with the Web CMS theme of the conference, promoting Drupal & PHP. Some of you know my Drupal Dreamweaver extensions and Theme Starter desktop software, so I am glad to be exclusively covering Drupal in my talks this year. One session covers the different approaches in Web CMS software like Wordpress & Drupal. For that session I will be sharing the stage for that session with a Wordpress counterpart. I hope that session turns into a feature flinging match as it'll help me get caught up with Wordpress limitations.

I'd like to promote the MAX conference to the Drupal community, and at the same time ask who is already planning to attend. We can meet up and rep Drupal together.

The third article in my Drupal series for Adobe.com is out now. This article covers Drupal Zen Sub-Themes, including Dreamweaver tip(s) when working with Drupal themes.

"When asked why I would recommend the Zen theme versus a core theme such as Garland, I answer, Zen was built to be a seed for your tree—you plant the seed, water it, and watch it grow! Garland looks nice, but is not documented well and has custom page template code that should not appear elsewhere. In short, Garland is just not right as the basis for a theme; the Zen theme is."
