Do's and don't with PHP in a page
Hey all, firstly let's start off with the good old: "I'm new to drupal" trying to struggle my way into better understanding.
At the moment I'm doing a bit of custom development, on one side in drupal and on the other side in plain old PHP. Now I found the versioning system in drupal a handy tool so wondered if I could place my regular PHP in a drupal page. A lot of the things I'm doing does work but there's one page with a HTML form using POST that writes to the database which doesn't work.
Read moreLooking for Better document and img handling (other files too)
Ive been looking at Imgassist lately because FCK is old and CK while a great alternative does not provide a free imagebrowser like FCK did ?
Unfortunately that leaves document handling in the dust or does it ?
Can anyone recommend some great alternatives they have used on small - large sites with success ?
Read moreA DITA documentation distribution for Drupal
Introduction
A couple of weeks ago we launched Modulecraft an awareness & fund-raising project that aims to rally Drupal professionals around a shared effort to create the ultimate toolset for Drupal business. The first fundraising round has as goal the development of a documentation distribution for Drupal that uses a similar approach as the localization server and that enables a distributed/federated documentation architecture for the Drupal project. As a Drupal user you'll be able to get a set of documentation from the drupal.org docs server imported into your own site. You will than be able to edit it and build subsets of the documentation for your own projects. You'll also be able to submit topics that were edited or created by you on your own infrastructure and add them as suggestions to the Drupal documentation server.
The following is a first proposal for the specification of the Documentation system we want to build as part of the modulecraft project. It is by no means complete, and it strongly needs your feedback. This is our first encounter with DITA and our ideas should really be proof checked by technical writers that have extensive experience using DITA. It also contains some proposes a somewhat exotic usage of RDFa, feedback is also very much needed here. In the coming days I'll be adding new sections to the specification here. This is a wiki so be bold! You can add comments either here or at the original posts on the Pronovix blog. I'll be incorporating feedback into this wiki.
