module

At the University of Delaware, we are just getting started with Drupal as an officially supported resource, maybe for only 6 months or so. Having just barely more experience than most others at UD, I'm trying to help everyone get up to speed with the basics and offer suggestions how to enhance their sites from there.

Currently, the focus is on module selection. I've put together a set of modules that hopefully would satisfy most of UD's needs. We currently use Sakai as our LMS so Drupal's role is primarily for public websites for colleges, depts, programs, research centers, initiatives, faculty research groups, community sites, etc.... Drupal will also be used for internal collaboration sites.

Hi All,

I recently got into mobile web development and I am working out some solutions in making your blog / website mobile. I have written a tutorial on my blog, http://www.mobiledrupal.com. Here is the immediate link to the blog

In my multi-site setup, I want to install only "finished" releases (so: no dev version, no beta, etc.) to /sites/all/modules.

So when I install a dev version to my multi-site /sites/example.com/modules, and this module will get a release later, I want to move it to /sites/all/modules.

Does this work without any problems? Anything to mind?

Would I need to update the module at the multi-site first, before deleting it and re-install it in /sites/all/modules?

Någon som vet någon modul som tillåter besökare (ej inloggad) att välja flera noder från exv. en sökresultatlista och att de visas i ett block?

Kan tänka mig att det hanteras via cookies eller sessions på något vis.

Funderar på att kika hur webbshopping-modulerna har löst det, men tänkte att det finns någon modul just för detta, som ni snubblat över.

Hi

I'm in the process of creating Eclipse module which will simplify drupal module creation.
For now it providing a wizard where you can choose module name, description and some hooks that needs to be implemented in this module.

I will provide it in a week or so.

If you're using eclipse for drupal development, fell free to post your wishes and feature requests.
Thanks

P.S.: if such eclipse plugin already exists, let me know.

My book review pasted from Amazon.com. I reviewed the book for the publisher but that never guarantees a good review, so read on.

I must say I was asked to review this book, and I was very excited to do so. I thought it'd be good to comment on areas for people who aren't familiar with Drupal on a daily basis yet, and to give you some background, I was very excited to read this book. I needed a book that had the words "Drupal 6" and "module development" in it and luckily this book was titled exactly that and delivered. So, to newbies and non-newbies I offer the following review.

If you're impatient and don't want to read this review all the way, then just know this book must be read by each programmer who will be tinkering with Drupal, so yes, I recommend it. This book is not for people learning how to use modules, this is for people who plan to code and build their own modules. This book is not large, has great learning material, and brings tons of info down from Drupal's web site documentation into stress-free chapters. One entire chapter (Ch. 2) covers how to do an entire module from scratch and following chapters show how expand that module and build, and build, and really get to know important APIs that come with Drupal core.

In all honestly, I'm jealous that most new users get to read something as collected as this to learn from. If you read this book you'll basically catch up with content I took months, if not over a year to explore and read online. I had also held off heavy Drupal 6 development for myself until a book like this came out, so we're in the same boat.

A new module for Drupal 6 I developed over a couple different weekends. Shows how many users you have, no biggie there, but it also shows a breakdown of registrations per month so you can see your good months. The report also includes counts of unauthorized (vs. registered) users with a percentage against total registered users, and there's a table showing popular email domains and their simple stats too. (Drupal 6)

Hi everyone,

After a long hiatus from working on the MLS module (http://groups.drupal.org/node/12419), I'm back at it and working on some massive updates/improvements to the module. If any of you have tried to use it, you probably know that it's super confusing, very difficult to use and incredibly fragile. To address these issues I'm overhauling how the module interfaces between VieleRETS and Drupal.

I found this interesting and figured I would pass it along to the groups:

At our meeting last night, http://groups.drupal.org/node/13812, I presented the PicLens module for Drupal and showed how to hook up your own custom modules into the PicLens module API.

I have attached my example module for Drupal 5 and the Drupal 5 version of PicLens.

To use this module install the PicLens add-on and then

1. Download pldemo.zip.txt, rename to pldemo.zip and unzip and install the pldemo module in the normal manner and enable in the module admin
