The 2009 Open Source CMS market share report was released a couple of weeks ago. The report concludes that WordPress, Joomla! and Drupal maintain a large lead on the rest of the pack, and that they are the dominant players in the ... [More] market.

Diasporan: Practical Drupal for Small NGOs

Posted 1 day ago

In October, I proposed an event called Practical Drupal for Small NGOs because I know some small NGOs that need a website, but they don't have enough budget to build one. These people usually have very interesting projects and do really good jobs. I ... [More] thought it would be fun and practical to set up a regular Drupal event to help small NGOs build their websites.

Note we are not building websites *for* them. It's because I know a number of individuals and organisations who built websites for NGOs free of charge, but they worn out and completely abandoned those websites and stopped supporting. I didn't want to see that happen so I decided to ask NGOs to build and look after their sites by themselves, but we would do as much as we can to help them. [Less]

Ryan Szrama: d7uc: The Future of Products

Posted 1 day ago

This is the second in a series of posts outlining the ideas driving the Ubercore Initiative forward. We've had a lot of positive feedback from developers eager to dig into Drupal 7 to re-implement Ubercart's features like the awesome vision of ... [More] products outlined below.

For starters, when we gathered for the Ubercore planning sprint in San Francisco, we began by nailing down the core systems without which we wouldn't have an e-commerce system and which we needed to build out other essential features. The links above are our whiteboard scribblings based on Ubercart's current features, but the one we gave the most time to was the core product system. The resultant notes and discussion summarized in this post may be viewed here.

Ryan Szrama: UberDrupal Integrates with Acquia Prosper

Posted 1 day ago

Top Notch Themes released the first beta of Fusion recently, a base theme that works in conjunction with the Skinr module to fulfill their vision for the future of theming and theme configuration for Drupal. They even have a theme in development ... [More] that takes full advantage of the new base theme called Acquia Prosper that pretties up your site for selling stuff with Ubercart... in my opinion, their best theme on d.o to date.

Edison Wong: Drupal, Gallery2, FCKeditor and G2Image integration mini-HOWTO

Posted 3 days ago

This mini-HOWTO will guide you though the integration procedure for both Drupal and Gallery2, with assistance of FCKeditor and G2Image. If you hope to insert your photo album images into Drupal without a heavily embed style, this should be your cup ... [More] of tea.

Why not integrate with Drupal's gallery.module?
The most simple answer should be: keep everything simple. I hope to keep my Drupal and Gallery2 installation isolated for a simpler management, as different system coming with different specific requirement. What I only hope to do is to reuse the existing resource coming from Gallery2, so user don't need to upload a single image twice.

Why not use Drupal's image.module + img_assist.module?
They are in different design so I use both solution. I use image.module + img_assist.module for tiny amount Drupal-only images, for fast layout design and so on, e.g. insert some image when writing a blog post as like as this mini-HOWTO. You won't hope to: 1. create a new album in Gallery2, 2. upload images and manage their title, 3. go back to Drupal and choice your image though FCKeditor, how fancy!
