demo

Agaric is a worker owned cooperative of developers using Drupal. We have been taking time at our weekly meeting to share knowledge with one another about things we have learned or done. We soon realized that this may be of interest to a larger group than ourselves. Therefore, we started inviting some partners, students, and other developers we know to take part in watching or giving short presentations. Now a few people each week share things they know too, and it is getting to be really fun and informative. So we would like to invite everyone!

I'm very proud to show off the first demo of the Site Preview System. The SPS module came out of Content Staging Initiative which was part of http://buytaert.net/announcing-acquia-large-scale-drupal-program.

This demo shows integration with the following modules.

• http://drupal.org/project/state_machine
• http://drupal.org/project/context_field (context_per_revision branch)
• http://drupal.org/project/context
• http://drupal.org/project/iib
• http://drupal.org/project/collections
• http://drupal.org/project/nra

I've written up the slides for the brief demo I gave of Drush and Drush Make at the February OxDUG meetup last week.

Thank you to those who attended our webinar this week, and thanks for the positive feedback we received.

As promised, here is a link where you will find the recording of the session. We have also provided the query examples as a .zip that you can download. SQL ICE has an import function that you can use to pull these examples into your local SQL ICE.

SQL ICE Demo - How to Use SQL ICE to Access Your Drupal Data

Join us for a Webinar on Tuesday, March 22, 10am Central

Reserve your Webinar seat now at:

Are you a Drupal user and do you know SQL? If you answered "yes", then SQL ICE could be a useful tool to have on your desktop.

In this session, we will demonstrate how you can use SQL ICE to access your Drupal data, using the same version of SQL ICE (v.1.1.1) that is available as a free download from our site, to run queries against the data from our live Drupal site.

My organization is in the process of selecting a CMS. I'd like to demo a Drupal install for them, but unfortunately A) I'm a noob, so installing and configuring one myself would take some time and B) All the online Drupal demo sites are unresponsive to my join requests or appear to be dead.

Is there any way I can access a functioning Drupal sandbox/demo? Thanks.

Hagen Graf did an excellent live usability test at the unconference immediately before DrupalCon Copenhagen. He's a a tech writer well versed in all three of Joomla, Wordpress and Drupal, so he was able to draw out the strength and weaknesses of getting started with each platform.

This site was designed with Drupal 6 and used some pretty basic modules. In addition to the core modules some of the front-end modules used were Views, Date, CCK, PathAuto, Menu Breadcrumb, Search 404, Menu Block. Some of the back-end/admin modules used were Admin menu(FTW! I love This), Vertical Tabs, Menu Settings Per Content Type, TinyTinyMCE, IMCE, Draggable Views, Image API, Image Crop, Better Formats. For enhanced SEO/tracking we used XML Sitemaps, Sitemaps, Google Analytics.

Does anyone have a better demo site I can link to from the project page? The old one is no longer... any good. I plan on getting a new demo up at http://activity.sirkitree.net - but wondering if anyone has one right now.
