Thoughts on associating English with flags of specific countries

Posted by colan on April 10, 2014 at 6:45pm

I'm not sure if anyone has thoughts on this, but I just opened an issue in the Language icons project entitled Fix country associations for English flags.

Currently, the default en language is represented by the UK, but I'm not sure that this is correct given that we also have an en-gb language.

Any thoughts over there would be appreciated. Thanks!

Brighton Drupal Community Open Weekends (a.k.a. BADAss COWs?!)

Posted by Anonymous on March 30, 2014 at 11:58am

Hi folks,

We've been discussing Sprint Weekends for quite a while now so I thought now I've got the @vbrighton space we can start putting some dates in the diary. I've set up two events for April, please sign up to your preferred one. Even if you only can pop in for a couple of hours it's all appreciated!

Also would be good to hear feedback on the idea of calling it "Community Open Weekends" so if anyone's interested in learning more about Drupal we can incorporate a session or two or other kind of activities - please post ideas!

Middle of the month:

The Drupal way to add Div's and Javascript to D7

Posted by spessex on February 3, 2014 at 2:54pm

I was wondering if anyone could advise me the best way (the advised Drupal way) to add some html and javascript a SSL provider has passed me to pull in their Trust Seal to my site.

Ideally I'd like to add it as a Block but assumed if I pasted the entire contents into a block under 'Full HTML' that perhaps it might not be secure (or certainly might not be the Drupal advised way).

The code has been provided in two ways, either (A) altogether or (B) separated between Java Script and HTML.

How do I run my entire site through ssl? Do i change something in settings.php?

Posted by spessex on February 2, 2014 at 2:22pm

I now have a ssl cert setup for my site but just wanted to know how do I now change the whole D7 site to run on https//www.domain.com/xxxx etc?

Thank you

Stephen

SSL Certificates - Advice in buying?

Posted by spessex on January 27, 2014 at 9:03am

I'm currently looking at buying a SSL certificate and attaching to one of my domains. The main reason (along with encryption) is to provide more peace-of-mind for users who will providing their personal data (we are also signed up to data protection).

Can anyone provide any advice as I'm totally new to this, especially in regards to:

green bar or not (and if not do you think the average Joe will understand the site is SSL)?
best companies in relation to price and service?

The biggest Drupal core sprint and developer camp is coming up in March!

Posted by gábor hojtsy on January 20, 2014 at 5:35pm

Drupal Developer Days 2014 is coming up quick in Szeged, Hungary from March 24th (Mon) to the 30th (Sun) 2014. Szeged, Hungary may sound like it is the middle of nowhere but what do you need to get together with a bunch of Drupal developer friends and learn about and advance the platform together? As those who have been to DrupalCon Europe 2008 in the same city know, Szeged is the ideal place for just that. Check out our interviews about those experiences.

Here are some quick facts about Drupal Dev Days 2014:

A whole week of sprints with two core committers (Alex Pott and Nathaniel Catchpole) as well as the testbot system maintainer (Jeremy Thorson) on location! Could we help more to make progress? Oh, most top European Drupal developers are already signed up to come as well!
Three days of sessions and workshops (50 topics providing 56 hours of content). Get lots of readily applicable know-how including website monitoring, e-commerce, practical scrum, Vagrant, product development in real life, Heisencache, IDE tricks and so on. Look into how Drupal is made, see the life of a core maintainer, get gamification tips or discuss a new type of money: Druplicoins!
Want to work on upgrading your modules to Drupal 8 but don't know how? No problem! Additionally to learning about all the new Drupal 8 subsystems, there is a bring-your-own-module workshop as well, where mentors will help you upgrade your module!
Want to get into Drupal development? Attend the community tools workshop and learn all the tools we use to communicate and work on solutions and learn and enjoy how the Drupal mentoring program works.

A truly fantastic opportunity isn't it? Last but not least its also very cheap. The ticket is only 30 Euros for the whole week! If you want to get to know Drupal 8 or even help make it happen, this is the place to be in March. Note that some cheap hotel deals expire this week. Don't miss out!

Ubercart in the UK?

Posted by alexmc on December 14, 2013 at 4:37pm

Where would be the best place to discuss Ubercart (or other Drupal based webshops) for use in the UK? I have been Googling a lot but I think we must have a need for this right?
