modules

hey all, at the last meetup while showcasing the Sony musicbox website (http://musicbox.sonybmg.com) I promised to let you all know when my modules that are being contributed back to the community were finally released. Well they are and you can take a look at them here:

Activity (http://drupal.org/project/activity)
This module is an attempt at recreating the neat facebook feature where you are able to keep track of your friends' activity on a drupal site with buddylist enabled.

Smackdown (http://drupal.org/project/smackdown)

I create a 5.2 and 6.x patch for measuring how much memory a module takes, and also how much the whole Drupal page load takes.

The results are published here: Measuring memory consumption by Drupal bootstrap and modules.

Short version: in Drupal 6, modules are better off than in 5.2, but the bootstrap is a tad larger.

If anyone is interested in replicating the results with more realistic install profiles, please do so and publish your results/findings/recommendations.

The 1.0 release of the indymedia cities module is available. Please try it out and file any bugs/feature requests/support requests. Thanks...

Hi everyone,

I'm hoping to spark abit of a debate here with the following question.

With so many feature rich social networking sites out there now what are the "must have" features every social network should have??

cheers
Tom

hi ..
Well ever heard of dojo toolkit ? The toolkit with fanktacular widgets and very robust XHR system. Dojo toolkit is probably the best Dhtml toolkit today. I know that drupal officially supports and endore JQuery but this module by chris barber which enables dojo use for drupal is one step in right direction... He has released v 1.1 and I dont know if you people know about it, but I am so excited that I am gonna shit my pants ..

I just wanted to make a quick post to mention that I just noticed the new KT project posted by haimoura to integrate Drupal with Knowledge Tree (an Open Source DMS written in PHP). Here's the project description:

Integration of Knowlege Tree DMS in drupal.

Knowledge Tree project : http://www.knowledgetree.com

KnowledgeTree is document management made simple: a simple yet powerful, free, commercial open source and Web-based document management system.

Greetings fellow Michigan Drupal users. I have a question. Let it be noted that I have only been using Drupal for about 2 months, so please forgive my newbisms & lack of knowledge...believe me, I'm trying, and I'm excited to be doing so.

There are a "LOT" of contrib modules out there. Even more so, there are a great deal of good modules that have been neglected. Lets be honest, a developers time is precious, and we all get spread thin and a bit scattered sometimes, and we leave our children (modules) to the way side for other things (like "bill-paying" modules/development so we can eat from time to time :) ).

Hi everybody,

While making my research about Drupal profile solutions, I was pointed to the following site:
http://www.goingon.com

I was shocked after surfing the site. This site is powered by Drupal and it's amazing! WOW!!!

I want that our BB project will have such full featured profile like in goingon.com. Does anyone have any clue which profile module this site is using? What are the other modules of that site?

Thanks and have a nice day.

Well, I just found about this group (and groups.drupal.org) today, and I've been using Drupal for over a year! I see this group for SEO has 59 subscribers, and yet I hadn't seen any posts from any of you on seo in the main drupal forums. Why is that? If I had seen mention of this before, I would have joined as soon as I found out - and there are questions that people are asking all the time about SEO in the main forums that deserve answers. I've been trying to answer all the ones that I can find.

I posted twice in the last month in the main forums to solicit input regarding an article I wrote on my web site: How to Optimize a Drupal web site for Google and other Search Engine Crawlers. I was surprised to find I didn't get a shred of feedback. The post has been viewed almost 1,200 times on my site and I've not gotten any feedback there either.
