Time for another update on the progress of my Drupal module which I have decided to name; PhotoPic. I have completed quite a few important things from my growing to do list and am learning a lot along the way.

Today I have been refining my Drupal module - implemented an Admin Settings page and support for lightbox. Now the photos can be displayed through lightbox.

It has been quite a while since I last blogged, due to many unforeseen events, but now I am glad to say that everything is almost on track again. I have also managed to make some free time for myself and what better way to spend it than learning new stuff.

In the last post I gave you some introduction about Drupal and its application. In this post we will understand the drupal installation, system requirements, environment set up etc.

Drupal as you all know runs in a PHP/Mysql environment, so before installing drupal, we must have PHP, Apache (webserver), and mysql database installed and running on the machine.

All these can be run on both linux and windows with ease and have a one click installer available for various linux and windows versions. I will cover the installation on windows machine but the same instructions are valid for linux as well.

First of all you must download XAMPP which is an easy to install Apache distribution containing MySQL, PHP and Perl. XAMPP is really very easy to install and to use – just download, extract and start.

1. Download the XAMPP .exe installer for windows from here.

2. Install it in a directory xampp under C drive. You will see that under xampp foldere there are many files and folder.

This is an explanation how to add themes in Drupal By choosing the theme, you make a decision about the colours of your site, what you display, how it displays, etc. A theme doesn't change the content, it changes the way how it is displayed.

As promised, here is the recorded webinar on SEO for the Drupal.org redesign.

A couple of weeks ago we prepared to do a live webinar and take questions from the community about Drupal.org SEO. Unfortunately, I was not familiar with all the features of our webinar software. The result was that no attendees were able to attend the webinar, and the webinar was recorded in a proprietary format. Fortunately, Forest Mars was able to decode it and so I've now made it available.

If you have questions about Drupal.org SEO feel free to ask them in the comments below. The folks from Volacci will gather them up in January and respond when they are back from holiday.

If you are interested in helping to implement the Drupal.org redesign, we certainly could use some help. Don't hesitate to contact us.

Drupal for the Royal Win! (I wished the Dutch goverment and royals would wake up :-( )

When downloading Drupal, only the core-modules are available. In order to extend, build or enhance Drupals functionality, you need to install contributed modules. On this page there is an explanation how to install the first contributed modules after installing Drupal on a site.

A group of legal informatics researchers, of which I’m one, is currently trying to identify courts that use the Drupal open-source content management system for their Websites or other information systems.

So far, we have identified just one court Website that uses Drupal: the emergency preparedness site of the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California.

If you know of other uses of Drupal by courts, in the U.S. or in any other jurisdiction, we would be most grateful if you would please identify them in the comments.

Interest in Drupal in connection with law-related Websites has grown in recent months in the wake of the U.S. Government’s decision to use Drupal for a number of Executive Branch Websites, including the White House, and a number of sites hosted by the U.S. Department of Commerce.

Legal information systems administrators on the TEKNOIDS listserv recently identified the following potential benefits of using Drupal for court information systems:

So I have just had the first sh*t day.  I feel really annoyed!

Basically I was feeling quite good about it all after creating the layout and I added firebug to my firefox and decided that I would set about adding a banner to the top of the page and changing the colour of the background. But it wasn’t that easy!

I got myself a bit confused. I actually got really really stressed out coz I couldn’t find where the html file was! I know – it seems so stupid now but I was going through all the folders for ages looking for this file ending .html or .htm. But of course there isn’t one! I feel so dum and frustrated about how much I don’t know and also a bit annoyed that I had to Skype my brother to ask him about it >-(

It was ok tho – he was real nice about it and explained a few things to me that I didn’t really know before so I guess I benefited from swallowing my pride and asking him and I guess I will have to do it again about a million times because I’ve set myself such a mammoth task!!

In December 2009 I attended Do It With Drupal in New Orleans http://www.doitwithdrupal.com . It was a mixed blessing as I was pleased to find that my Drupal skills are pretty awesome. Most of the sessions were below my current level of development (which while I was unhappy about it, I was also happy my skill level grown so fast so quickly). Some of the highlights for me included:

Ryan Szrama, what a pleasure it was to listen to him present. I was able to talk with him briefly over a brownie and meet his wilfe and new baby daughter. http://www.doitwithdrupal.com/speakers/ryan-szrama

I received a most excellent Christmas present from a friend of mine:

Druplicon cookies (looks like she saw my Drupalcamp Montreal shirt!)

And though she didn't know it, the other cookies matched the theme perfectly:

Kitten cookies (taste extra good when you hack core)

We finally posted our case study of the Genomeweb data migration and site build to the home page of Drupal.org. We hope it informs and educates new Druapl site builders about how we handled the more technically interesting parts of the project.

Also of note, is the GIVEBACK section at the end of the case study. There, we itemize all of the code and other contributions that we gave back to the Drupal community as a result of the project. I hope this becomes a standard feature of similar case studies and blog posts. Let's keep promoting the open source ethos as the project grows.
