Moving onto Acquia Drupal

admin — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 13:06:20 +0000

Last year I was one of the beta testers for Acquia's Drupal distribution and the Acquia Network. I was evaluating Acquia's products and services for a potential intranet project at work. For this particular project, unfortunately, it looks as if Acquia or Drupal wasn't the right solution. Our regional folks wanted a solution similar to Mic

Gadgetopia's Deane Barker becomes a Drupal newbie

admin — Sun, 04 Jan 2009 21:22:57 +0000

During the past couple years, I've had some brief but rewarding content management discussions with Deane Barker from Gadgetopia and Blend Interactive. Dean has worked with quite a few Web content management systems over the years and appears to be most passionate to using eZ Publish. Naturally, our discussions almost always involve Dean talking about ez Publish and me talking about Drupal. Unfortunately, as I am more of a system administrator than a developer, the informa

Drupalcon NA 2010 and beyond

admin — Fri, 02 Jan 2009 04:31:50 +0000

This post is an open discussion on the future of Drupalcon management. After Drupalcon Boston held in March, 2008 it became clear that Drupalcon was (is) growing at a rapid rate and that the underlying management infrastructure needs an upgrade. Changes were made for Drupalcon Europe as well as for Drupalcon D.C (2009) and these have proven to be successful. The process still needs to evolve such that we not only meet the demands of the attendees (expected to be 1,200 strong at D.C) but give these attendees the high quality conference they expect. In short, we can and should do more.

Thank You CMS Report Sponsors

admin — Mon, 22 Dec 2008 09:24:06 +0000

CMS Report was recently toying with the idea of including paid advertisement in our news feed. Instead we decided that our readers would be better served by seeing a "thank you" to our sponsors. A monthly thank you from CMSReport.com seems to be fitting as just a few weeks ago we launched new sponsorship opportunities here at the site.CMS Report wants to thank the following sponsors for their support.

Where does collaboration begin?

Even for The Register, not a very long article but it does ask some important questions. The article, Welcome to the world of collaboration by stealth, suggests via questions that collaboration is bigger than the IT department.

Making Attachments Appear Across Translations

admin — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 21:48:05 +0000

Drupal 6 supports translation of content with the core Content Translation module. So you can create a page in English, then translate the page to Dutch.
But what if you attach a file to the English page? It does not show up on your Dutch translation. And what if you are using CCK and FileField? That's the case that I want to cover in this article.
