Multi-Language Vocabulary Exchange Module / Feature

I am re-thinking and prototyping a module / feature for vocabulary sharing and learning. Basically, I want to create a rich connective environment for 1.) words / definitions; 2.) translations (as connections between words); and 3.) multimedia learning aids or memes.

I'm really looking for ideas from experience Drupal Ninjas... :)

It's difficult to explain (see attached image). Basically I imagine a setup like this:
A. Word (+language designation) (+ word type, like adj, noun, etc.)
1.) definition #1 + Example sentence(s)
+ reference to translation

Image Gallery per User

I've started trying to figure out a way for users to create their own galleries. Basically, they need to be able to create an Album, then upload images. Seems simple enough task for Drupal, but I haven't really found anything that meets this need very easily. Lots of options with modules and config and views but not sure...

Any suggestion for Image Galleries per User?

Thanks

Session proposal for DrupalCon London

Hi all,

with the deadline for session proposals for DrupalCon London rapidly approaching, I'm thinking about putting together a session(s) proposal to talk about some ideas around Drupal and education and/or educating in Drupal. So far, I've only seen two proposals going in that direction: http://london2011.drupal.org/conference/sessions/bringing-drupal-educati... and http://london2011.drupal.org/conference/sessions/noob-experience-look-le....

Anybody working on something, so we're not working at cross-purposes or can possibly pool our resources?

Hi node_load_multiple() taking too much time.

Hi All,

I am using Drupal 7.

In a page for loading a node of particular content type, I am using node_load_multiple().

Due to some unknown reason, the page is taking too time that the page never loads.

Can somebody please tell me what must have gone wrong?

Looking forward for help from somebody.

Thanks.

AtriumEd: Thoughts, Changes, Mods?

Regarding the slight off-shoot from the discussion on edu features ( http://groups.drupal.org/node/137779 ), I wanted to open a new discussion about using OpenAtrium to create an educational collaborative distro, AtriumEd.

One change I'm making is adding a wysiwyg.

Other thoughts and ideas and changes?

8 week Drupal training for those in Higher Education

Two more dates are available for the 8-week intensive online course we are offering, one starting May 3rd and one starting May 4th.

The idea behind this course is to create a structured learning environment and learning community where participants can build a site over the length of the course.

I personally have a lot of experience building sites for Higher Ed (I'm currently building a site for 20k employees at University of Pennsylvania, redoing sites for various departments at Temple University, and have build sites for small colleges, such as RRC.edu)

Drupal for Higher Education Sales Pitch

Hi All--

I teach at a large Chinese university where I use a Drupal teaching site I built for a growing 200+ students, and for the last 2 months I've been helping another CS group create their first site in Drupal. They seem pretty thoroughly impressed with what we've done with severely limited people and time, and the dialogue seems to be moving towards the idea of developing and deploying more sites with Drupal. They currently have a mix of html static, .net and custom php stuff but not much cohesion or even very well updated or maintained sites.

Collaborative Learning Environment Alpha 1 distribution released

An initial build of ELMS: Collaborative Learning Environment (CLE) was released today. The focus of CLE is two fold. The first component is to allow students to collaborate, critique, rate, and comment on each other's assignments / media. This is known as an "Open Studio" concept in the arts and we've tried to mirror it in some of our courses previously.

ELMS Public Demo now available!

I wanted to announce here that a Public demo of the new version of ELMS (Alpha 3) can now be accessed at the following address: http://demo.elms.psu.edu/

Alpha 3 is still slated to be released by the end of the March but I wanted to get a demo out ahead of that for some additional feedback. Also, I felt the need to provide some optimism as a reaction to this post in the higher education group.

Ofuscación de código

Necesito proteger mi drupal para que terceras personas no me roben el código.

Me explico mejor. Yo diseño y programo un sitio con drupal después se lo entrego a una empresa X para que lo use. Después le pongo como condición a la empresa, que no puedes modificar nada del código ni del tema pasado los 2 años de garantía de funcionalidad según el contrato de trabajo.

A niveles de palabras eso está bien. Pero todos sabemos que drupal es un CMS y cualquiera que tenga acceso al servidor puede copiar la base de datos y el sitio, modificarlo y adaptarlo a otra empresa.

Help w/ Drush

So from the discussions in the EduBoF @ Drupalcon, I came back and began playing with Drush. My first attempt was successful and easy to implement. I was able to perform updates on 3 seperate drupal installs (Drupal6, Drupal7, and OpenAtrium) running on my Ubuntu laptop.

However, I decided I would then begin playing with Drush on my development Intranet site (running CentOS). Well, somehow after getting Drush to run (I had to change some php.ini settings), I jacked up my site. I've tried poking around the web looking for some direction but haven't gotten anywhere as of yet.
