Couple of days ago, I had an interesting converstation with a friend of mine who is a civil engineer about how do they plan and build stuff, one thing that actually grabbed my attention is how do they design buildings and what considerations they keep in mind before start doing real work, I noticed that they also build stuff that scale.
What is scalability?
In short, it's doing what you you are doing in a bigger way, it's allowing more users to use your web application, and...
Drupal allow builders to customize almost every element of a site's appearance, but there are always a few oddballs that are hard to reach without writing custom code. The hard-coded tabs that live on every node and user profile page (View, Edit, and so on) are definitely on that list. While it's possible to override them with carefully crafted hook_menu_alter() functions, the handy Tab Name Tweaker module puts them within easy reach of any administrator.
There is no question about how each of us had struggled with a project or been challenged in achieving some goals (either personal or work related) that at the beginning seemed unreal. This is what I experienced with couple of recent projects I managed simultaneously at Propeople Drupal Agency. The main goal was to have the Drupal site integrated with a 3rd party service, which is an entirely separated system with its own database. The system is named Acumen, developed by Cyberwolf Company...
Microserve are proud to announce we will be hosting a Drupal Global Traing Day at Armada House, Baldwin Street, Bristol on the 14th June. The day is aimed at people who have experience in web design and/or other CMS's, but would like to be introduced to Drupal.
Over the course of the day we will be building a site for an imaginary Restaurant, with the aim of covering most beginner sitebuilding techniques such as Content Types, Blocks, Users, Views etc. The day will be split into a...
I recently travelled 2517 miles to try to solve 50 problems in 50 days using design — a journey that would challenge me to fundamentally rethink my understanding of the user-experience design process.
50 Problems In 50 DaysI set myself a challenge. I wanted to test the limits of design’s ability to solve problems — big and small. To do this, I left the comfort of my computer chair and set out into the unknown. Each day, I had 24 hours to...
After turning Szeged into Drupaltown in 2008, the Hungarian Drupal community is taking it a step further by organizing Drupalaton, the longest drupalcamp in Europe so far. The event takes place from 15 to 18 August 2013, at the breathtaking shore of the biggest warm-water lake in Europe, at Lake Balaton in Hungary. Four days in perfect balance of work and leisure, sessions, sprints, beach sports, great food, world class wines, ultimate awesomeness day and night.
For the past two months or so, we were working hard to create a non-profit organization that will be responsible for lots of Drupal-related local things, such as: events, trainings, workshops, showcases, partnerships, etc.
Tags: Drupal Moldova Association Drupal PlanetAt DrupalCon Portland, I presented together with fellow Acquia Spark team member Jesse Beach on the accessibility improvements that we helped bring to Drupal 8. See http://portland2013.drupal.org/node/2158.
Drupal 8 will be the most accessible version of Drupal yet. We are expanding the foundational HTML markup support into APIs that make it easy to express the state of the page components, not just their properties. One example is Drupal.announce, which passes strings to an ARIA-...
Drupal's template hierarchy gives themers the power to define the look and feel of nodes. This allows content creators to focus on the content while Drupal handles how it is displayed.
But sometimes it would be nice to provide a way for the content creators themselves to pick between predefined displays of their content, like this:
(...personally, I like option 2)
You could probably do this with Panels or Display Suite, but those tools may be overwhelming for...
Here's a little puzzle: display a table of nodes, each row containing the same content in all available translations.
How would you do it? Stumped, I asked that question on Stack Overflow a few years ago, but never received a satisfactory reply.
Then, a couple of days ago, someone asked me if I had solved it. I hadn't thought of that puzzle since then, but I would have felt bad answering no. So, with 3 years of i18n work under my belt, I decided to give it another go.

Lately, I've been devoting much of my free time to developing better methods of Drupal theming to achieve streamlined processes, simplicity and minimalistic code. I'm getting away from the default code bloat or "Divitis" that Drupal can sometimes present. In this article, I'll write about some of the methods and tools I've been using. This won't be a step by step tutorial per se but just a little smattering of tidbits and snippets.
Test CaseThe test case for all this is a new site...
We are so excited that DrupalCon Portland was such an amazing success with more than 3,300 attendees, phenomenal speakers, and so many great community events where everyone bonded and had fun. And, as DrupalCon Portland comes to an end, we are very pleased to announce that our next North American DrupalCon will be held in Austin,Texas on June 2-6, 2014 at the Austin Convention Center.
If your site is left for a while, say throughout the night, and you find that hitting it for the first time in the morning (i.e. a cold start, an initial run) takes longer to load than after clearing your caches, then it's fair to assume that it's not merely a problem of caches expiring and refilling.

After a ridiculously dumb move of overloading the Drupal Planet feed and the ensuing fix (thanks to Dave, David and Greg for the help during that), figured it was probably better to do a summary of recent Drupal video tutorials rather than posting each and everyone to Drupal Planet. So, here's the first go of it:
1. Started a new video tutorial series on cool Drupal 7 modules. The goal here is to keep them between 2 and 5 minutes and just introduce modules that are awesome. So far...
Round 2 of the Drupal Grand Prix will take place at Daytona Milton Keynes on Saturday 6th July. It's a great outdoor karting circuit that can host up to 35 drivers on the track at a time, and it's open to any UK Drupal companies and freelancers. (It's open to anyone outside the UK too, if you're up for the trip!)

So you want to make the background of your website red eh? You'll probably put this in your CSS:
body { background: red; }Done!
Check out this Pen!You're going about your business and then all the sudden one day this happens:
Check out this Pen!What in the heck? Why is the red cut off like that? I put red as the background color on the body?
You did, but the fact that that red color floods the background is just a strange anomaly of CSS. The body...
I always wanted to write something on all the technologies that a website relies on in order to have been created and work. My attempts have so far failed because it spirals out of control so quickly. Kevin Kelly sums it up:
A web page relies on perhaps a hundred thousand other inventions, all needed for its birth and continued existence. There is no web page anywhere without the inventions of HTML code, without computer programming, without LEDs or cathode ray tubes, without solid...
Hi everyone, hope some of you had/having a great time at DrupalCon Portland. Since I could go I decided to do something useful and apply to Dropbucket Drupal Snippets Repository some new ideas I had in my mind. Long story short, last night I rolled out an update which brought the follwing:
Read on about Cool New Changes at Dropbucket.orgAs a mobile UI or UX designer, you probably remember the launch of Apple’s first iPhone as if it was yesterday. Among other things, it introduced a completely touchscreen-centered interaction to a individual’s most private and personal device. It was a game-changer.
Today, kids grow up with touchscreen experiences like it’s the most natural thing. Parents are amazed by how fast their children understand how a tablet or smartphone works. This shows that touch...
Today I want to talk a bit about another cool module I found called Multi-path Autocomplete. With the use of an autocomplete widget, this module lets you easily add existing paths when you create a new menu item.
Despite 96 hours of rain, #drupalcon was a fantastic event. If you missed our other recaps, you can watch Tuesday's and Wednesday's on our blog.
Also, check out the photos from DrupalCon on the Mediacurrent Facebook page.
Drupal development can feel a bit like “black magic” when you’re getting started. Here’s a high level guide aimed at beginners to help point them in the right direction.
Website Building & Drupal var switchTo5x = true;stLight.options({"publisher":"dr-2c4e2fdb-96be-803f-efa-e26bb8f7a80"});Day three was kicked off by Michael Lopp, ex Apple and Dictator at Palantir. His keynote "THE ENGINEER, THE DESIGNER, AND THE DICTATOR" was centered around the productive battle between art, science and execution. A refreshing contrast program to the horizontal hierarchy frenzy.
What else? Sessions, BOFs and another day in wonderful Portland, so different to most US cities I know: Small cars, cyclists, coffee snobs, microbreweries, and raaaaain! Lots.
