development

Who from the Twin Cities is heading off to Copenhagen for Drupalcon this August? The entire Advantage Labs team is excited to be going. In fact, we have proposed two sessions that will focus sustainable Drupal development strategies based on our experience both as a Drupal company in the Twin Cities and as participants in the local open source user and development communities. If you are attending Drupalcon Copenhagen, let us know -- especially if you have proposed sessions we should vote for.

I'm relatively new to Panels, and need to do something a little unusual -- I need to render a Panels display into content controlled by CiviCRM.

I can get this to work, but it's a little ugly. I haven't found any good code examples for doing this, so I looked at how Panel Nodes (6.x-3.5 for this and everything else panels-wise) did it, and am doing something like this:

Hi,

actually I don't know the differences between AJAX, JavaScript and jQuery. But before answering here, maybe a wiki page is missing and could be mentioned in the group description?

In many groups such info lacks in the description. Yes I'm familiar with groups, but from Yahoo and the Dutch http://Clubs.nl (they WERE the first & the best, Yahoo bought the software and made a cut down version for its groups). So I'm not that happy with the features and design of Drupal groups, but that's another issue...

Information technology is one of the fastest growing professions, yet women are leaving the field in huge numbers. One woman who is now on a job search said men in her company often expect her to play a secretarial role.

I know that Quickserver it's meant to have the dev environment also in the Virtual Machine, but I'm finding more suitable for my case to have the dev environment on Windows.

So I still use LAMP stack, Drush, Aegir, and all that *nix tools that come already with Quickserver but the files and development environment is Windows 7.

Other alternative I was considering is to have a separate dev machine on your LAN instead of a Virtual Machine and share files over the network.

Hi everybody!

I've been developing Drupal pages for 2 years and have done a few contract jobs, but mostly work with Drupal in my full-time position. I need to draft a new contract as a technical consultant and/or drupal developer. Does anyone have any good contract document examples that they could post?

At IDEIA we are currently working on a new (simple) staging solution.
I have evaluated many systems like : Features, Drush, StrongArm, Context, Patterns, DBScript, Migraine, Deploy, Node_Import, Feeds, Staging, etc...
The common problem encountered with theses modules are :
* they are compatible with few modules
* needs many manual operations and double checking
* handle only content, or config but not both of them

The only "global" solution is DBscript, but it's not a real module, not easy to configure (you must describe all foreign keys of your DB in a config file).

So we came to a new method, based on MySQL auto_increment_offset. These ID pattern allow to know from which DB came any content of any table in the DB.
For example, if we choose that ID terminated by 1 are "prod server", ID terminated by 2 are "test server", and ID terminated y 3 are "dev server".
So merging dev / test / prod is rather simple with some basic SQL UPDATE and DELETE for each table.

Gostaria de saber se alguém aqui utiliza Drupal para desenvolvimento de sistemas.
Algo como cadastro de clientes de locadora, ou gerenciamento de funcionários, ponto eletrônico, sistema contábil.
Vi que existe o http://openatrium.com/ , porém é o único caso real (e bem feito) de sistema que eu encontrei por aí, o resto é tudo site.

Qualquer resposta é bem-vinda.

Dear all,

I thought it would be very helpful if I would bring it up here.

Our situation is that we are moving a large, multi-user knowledge management Portal into private beta. While we wish to have a "live" version of the site, with content creation, file upload , image upload and addition etc, we wish to maintain active development on several aspects of functionality.

As a newbie to Drupal, you know what would help me? Purpose.

What I mean is that learning Drupal is cool, but learning it so that I can actually do something with it is even cooler. What I want to know is could someone come up with a few different types of sites and specifications so us new people can build those?

For instance, instead of just installing everything and figuring out what works, someone says:
"hey, build a social site with these features"
or
"build a site for a small school that needs these features"
or
you get the drift.
