extension

I'd welcome your thoughts on the positives and negatives of both systems that extend drupal for publishers.

My situation is that I've installed the France 24 AEF modules on my development non-production site but don't know how to use them, make them visible.

I'm considering OpenPublishApp also (instead, i.e not co-existing with France24) but haven't tried it yet.

My initial thoughts are:

France24:
Positives:
- proof of concept with France24: high-traffic news site
- substantial suite of modules designed with journalists in mind to add content easily with minimum training

As some of you may already know, XTND.US provides mostly-free Drupal related software, like Drupal & jQuery extensions for Adobe Dreamweaver, and a Drupal Theme Starter app that runs on Mac/Windows/Linux desktops.

XTND.US announces an unnamed Drupal plug-in for Eclipse. With DrupalCon San Francisco 2010 coming up it would be great to see other Eclipse users together during a community BoF. The pre-release is available by adding the following software site to your Eclipse (PDT required).

Open Eclipse and choose the Help menu, then Install New Software. Click the Add button or link and add this new software site to download the Drupal plugin:

Or install from the Eclipse IDE Marketplace - http://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/drupal-eclipse-pdt/

XTND.US releases early preview download of their Drupal API extension for Dreamweaver. Reduce typing and get past plain text editing of Drupal files in Dreamweaver. If you are into Drupal and use, or want to use, Dreamweaver then you really need this extension. Let us save you tons of time by reducing keystrokes with our Drupal API code hints integration for Dreamweaver (API versions 5 & 6). The extension provides code hints and code coloring for every Drupal API method in Drupal 5 & 6.

Not only does it provide full Drupal API code hints (5.x & 6.x) in PHP files, but it also adds support for common Drupal file types, like .module, .theme, .info, .tal, etc., provides code coloring and code hints while editing those file types, treating them similar to common PHP pages. No more tweaking Dreamweaver's configuration manually, just download this free extension and makes Dreamweaver more useful when working on Drupal modules and themes.
