Collaborate with the Drupal community

This site serves the Drupal community by providing a place for groups to organize, plan and work on projects. Real world local user groups (sometimes called meetups) and regional Drupalcamps in particular are encouraged to setup their online presence here.

Events happening in the community are now at Drupal community events on www.drupal.org.

Current panels 2 status and needs

Updated: Dec 11, 2007

Additionally, the following items are currently in progress:

  • panels_mini.module -- this module will create panels that will be exposed as blocks. I.e, the panel within a panel. A good use is to put a bunch of content in a one column panel, and then put that throughout the site.
  • panels_profile.module -- A panel that will let every user have their own display to edit their profile page. This is an outward facing page, and lets users have significant amounts of control over their "my account" page. This is sort of the starting place for a myspace type site.
  • panels_node_decorator.module (what a lousy name) -- lets you control node pages with panels. Should offer fine control so that nodes with different types or different taxonomy will get different displays. -- this is no longer necessary as panels pages came up with a clever way to do this for free.
  • panels template -- will allow your theme to use panel layouts instead of page.tpl.php, and use the panels layout engine to lay out your entire site.
  • new CCK integration -- integrate panels with CCK. At the very least, the 'node reference' and 'user reference' relationship, all by itself, would add immense power to Panels.
  • new Documentation. There are two forms: User documentation; there is an outline for that on a wiki page in this group. Please help. The second form is API documentation.

For some of these, there isn't a lot of design yet, just some ideas. This is the place to come to discuss the features these should have, and additional modules that can utilize Panels.

Next newsletter

Hi colleagues

Rather belatedly, there's now a wiki page for the next newsletter. We're trying a slightly different process this time in order to spread the work around amongst all those wanting to lend a hand in getting the newsletter out.

To contribute you'll first need to join the Drupal Newsletter group so that you can add to the contents.

PHP 5 Date Handling and the Date API

I want to make a 2.0 version of the Date module into a real date api (it will still include a contrib folder with the CCK date field, but it is really intended to be an API). The current module is messy and inefficient and not optimized at all, it was originally designed to do one thing and has evolved into something completely different. On top of that, it makes no use at all of the new PHP 5 date handling capabilities. So it needs a real overhaul.

What are you using your aggregator for? A call for use cases.

It's a question that I wanted to ask long before. Kreynen's story of how the University of Nevada could use an aggregator for covering the Tahoe fire makes me finally post: What are you using an aggregator for?

What modules do you find invaluable that people don't know about?


Drupal is like a six thousand blade Swiss Army Knife - somewhere in there is exactly the tool you need, but you risk never seeing it in the crowd. A lot of people don't realize there's a critical difference between image.module and imagecache.module. And what's image_attach or easy_image, anyway? There's dozens of node hierarchy solutions out there; I used to use PAC tree, now I use Node Relativity, and soon I'll use Outliner.

So tell us: What module do you use to provide functionality we've never heard of? What tool makes your day with Drupal a million times easier?

Drewish has a reverse bounty going to add the ability to use external files with the audio module. This will allow you to have a remote store of MP3 or other audio files, and easily include them in your Drupal site, including in a Flash audio player, using the audio module.

2 vs. 3 install profiles for D6? Minimum Framework, (Personal Site?), Maximal Framework

Fresh from a discussion about install profiles for the upcoming D6 release with Boris Mann, he suggested that I post this here... so, here it is.

Boris was wondering, "What kind of site should the default install profile for D6 be geared toward?"

Assumptions (correct me if I'm wrong):

1) Drupal aims to be a framework, as opposed to being a CMS for particular kinds of sites.

2) Given the current state of tools, D6 will not be shipped with the ability to pull in contrib modules based on user selections.
