Drupal Blogs, Pictures, and more on WordPress: Free online newspaper, magazine progam

Drupal - 4 hours 22 min ago

One Drupal spinoff was created specifically for those who want a newspaper or magazine web site, but who want it free.

Prosepoint to the rescue. This is a free Open Source project begun by someone who decided that people who wanted such software could download it and start running it out of the box. An example of one such site is here.

There are many community newspapers and magazines across the county that don’t have a high-dollar budget to buy such software, which could run into the hundreds, or thousands, of dollars. Not only that, these organizations (and, in some case, individuals) also don’t have a lot of time learning new software, or finding a compatible theme to work with it. Once again, ProsePoint is the answer.

Drupal Blogs, Pictures, and more on WordPress: Managing multiple RSS news feeds in one package

Drupal - 4 hours 59 min ago

A new community has surfaced that marries more than 30 Open Source projects with the also-free Drupal Content Management system.

The name of the program is “Managing News,” and is the spawn of “Development Seed.”

The program can interpret all kids of variation of RSS, such as RDL, Atom, XML, RSS 2.0 and OPML. The neat thing is that you can gather all your RSS feeds under one umbrella and have them available to you wherever you might be.

You can add tags for each story, create categories and save your searches to display the stories containing the search keyword(s) you use. There is also a map that shows where in the world your news stories occur, a map that you can click on and read the news from that geographical location. You can create category channels to display stories that contain a topic – such as environment, science, unemployment and others.

Fleet Thought: Changing the Length of User Sessions in Drupal

Drupal - Sun, 09/05/2010 - 00:57

I was recently trying to figure out exactly how long my users' sessions were lasting on an existing Drupal site that I had built. Generally it seemed like users were remaining logged in for an extremely lengthy period of time. I did some research and finally discovered that this setting is actually configured in the default settings.php file that ships with Drupal. There's a line in the settings file that initially reads:

ini_set('session.cookie_lifetime', 2000000);

Drupal Blogs, Pictures, and more on WordPress: Drupal module of the day, Drush

Drush is, as the project website describes, a a command line script and shell interface for Drupal. If you are a Drupal developer pretty soon you end up using this tool. If you are a Drupal website administrator, the sooner you use it the more productive you are.

This “module” has a Drupal 7 pledge, so don’t worry about its upgrade and start using right away, that’s my advice.

Original picture was a bit dark and grayish, so I thought this was a good occasion to try out the HDR script from registry.gimp.org/node/11776

CMS Quick Start: Drupal Video: Admin Tricks with MODULE FILTER & VERTICAL TABS

Drupal - Fri, 09/03/2010 - 22:58

You have to agree that Drupal admin screens can be pretty gnarly to interact with. If you want a better looking Modules listing page and if you want a tidier node add and node edit form... Then read on and watch the video at the end.

OK. I Pride myself on being HIPP and knowing about the newest modules and the coolest modules. I can not explain how I missed the MODULE FILTER module.
