YAML for Drupal

ica commented 17 November 2006 at 02:07

I have nothing to do with YAML for Drupal. I just thought to post it on Drupal.org as it was not mentioned here somehow.

work belongs to Dirk Jesse of http://www.highresolution.info/
and also mind the licence is not GPL but a Creative Commons licence

for translation try www.translate.google.com

Panels, this is the same as

hass commented 18 November 2006 at 14:23

Panels, this is the same as you can found on drupal.org download. only difference is the layout folder... this folder contains the customized yaml subtemplates. you can simply copy the "panels/layout" subdirectory in your current panels install.

Translation... realy i'd *like* to translate YAML for Drupal into english (sorry - i don't speak french), but this i18n is such unusable and i don't understand how this module can ever work... i found tooooo much bugs and i don't like to use such bad modules :-(.

i'm sorry about this missing fontsize module... it's not yet released.

Not to be confused with YAML (http://www.yaml.org/about)

If you came here looking for that, this is the wrong place, it's just a naming collision.

No big deal for me, but could be a problem on higher traffic sites.

Which version are you

s.Daniel commented 25 July 2008 at 07:25

Which version are you refering to? Just tested this with version 3.0.3.7 [1] (Drupal 6) and everything is working as I would expect.
By the way - hass is starting some English doc inside the project.

I'm very interested in this framework.

gav240z commented 22 October 2008 at 12:43

Very interested in this framework and how it works with Drupal.

Does it work with Drupal5?

Take a look at the download

s.Daniel commented 23 October 2008 at 21:25

Take a look at the download link and look for the yaml-5.x-3.0.6.9.tar.gz

However after using yaml twice, once under Drupal 5 and once on Drupal 6 I prefer to start my themes with zen. yaml is quite nice no doubt but it is not following the way drupal works in terms of simplicity, license and extensibility. A little bit like tinymce - I use it because I don't have much of an option sometimes, but in the theming area I do have an option.

Agree with you there, YAML

Jeff Burnz commented 23 October 2008 at 21:48

Agree with you there, YAML is one kick-ass framework and its just a pity about the licence.

What licence problems are there?

What licence issues are there with YAML?

Just read...

gav240z commented 5 November 2008 at 11:54

Just read, CC licence means not to be used for commercial work.

"Just read, CC licence means

s.Daniel commented 6 November 2008 at 09:56

"Just read, CC licence means not to be used for commercial work."
(you should complete the sentence)
...without naming the authors of yaml and yaml for drupal (if you choose to use the theme) or paying to use it without attribution of the authors inside the website.
I don't have a problem with paying for software in general but I think this doesn't work very well inside a free and open source eco system.
Some of the best modules for Jomla are only available if you pay for them, now imagine you had to pay 50 bucks every time you use Views ok CCK - where would drupal be now? Not where it is today.

Jeff Burnz commented 6 November 2008 at 14:34

I tend to think the port to Drupal is an important project, it opens the door for those who use YAML to design for Drupal without having to learn a different framework. For many theme shops using YAML is a daily routine, its not for everyone but for those who do this project eases the transition to Drupal.

Comparisons with Views or CCK doesn't really make sense - those projects were born and raised as native drupal aps, whereas YAML is a totally seperate project developed and used independent of Drupal.

I think you will find there are many modules that integrate commercial applications and services, YAML is not standing alone in this regard and the possibility for this type of arrangement widens the scope for Drupal in the grand scheme of the internet.
