Drupal 7.x

[UPDATE:] A developer for this project has been found.

Hi,

I've been asked to convert an existing corporation's site to Drupal. Ordinarily, this wouldn't be a problem, though the timeframe does not work for me at the moment. So I need to outsource this work.

The work desired is pretty straightforward, and requires no custom modules, etc.

What needs to be done:

• Install Drupal 6.x/7.x
• Convert existing design (well-organized CSS-based design) to an existing Drupal theme
• Configure taxonomy to represent current site's hierachy
• Add existing content to Drupal (i.e. cut and paste!)
• Add/Configure Front Page Module to achieve existing site's front page design

Their existing static site is well-made, and the firm they had to design it did a fantastic job. The existing site is very simple, and easy to decipher. I would have loved to be able to do it for them since it is so simple, but time is tight.

This would preferably need to be finished and live within two weeks, and that's a generous maximum.

Please let me know if you'd like this project, and a quote on your price and the time to completion. I've told them it should not take more than 15 hours tops if I were to do it myself, so quotes should definitely not exceed that.

Is there a module for limitting search results of drupal core search by date.

Let us know if you need any help, we are up-to-date on all the issues: he has even been able to migrate altered databases so as to not need to re-create the data. Don't be afraid to bid these jobs, we can help as your back-room if you need us. Also, we have a live guide in plain English to explain limitations of other CMS and advantages of Drupal to clients here:

You are also invited to add to this living book, and receive credit for your contribution and a real link back: we are building an application called ideapals in Drupal using our collaborative video production platform that will automate this marketplace, like a free dating site for project management of multi-media production. This will launch about the first of the year.

We can back you up, we have a great deal of credibility to lend, and we think that Drupal is the way to go ;-) we are happy to exist in the background: English and/or we have a Spanish speaking office, preparing a converted portal now: well connected in Real Estate, Travel, Health industries: http://socialmediasystems.com

Setting up a performance testing environment

Benchmarking is best done on your local computer or in a dedicated testing environment so that you can eliminate the possibility of network traffic and other factors that might bias the results.

Following Dries's recommendations, we're going to setup an environment with:

* 2,000 users
* 5,000 nodes
* 5,000 path aliases
* 10,000 comments
* 250 terms
* 15 vocabularies

Download a copy of Devel module to get its handy devel_generate.module. Note that since HEAD can be volatile, always check the issue queue for updated patches.

Browse your site to /admin and use the 'Generate content' links to generate the sample data outlined above.

Notes

* You should disable MySQL query caching. Run this query:
SET GLOBAL query_cache_size = 0;
* You should also disable PHP debugger plugins.

Hi all,

I was wondering if it is possible (or it maybe exists but i don't find it) to connect to an external services.
I've running a deamon who can listen on a specified tcp-port (through a socket).
Once connected to that deamon, you can type a command to send events on my CAN-network to control switches and/or lights.
(I can accomplish this with telnet-session connected to that specified tcp-port)
I would like to do this with drupal.
I was thinking of creating a specified contenttype (sort of event) which can connect to that deamon and can send commands. So when i can schedule these new content-items within a calendar, i can accamplish a little of my home control.
Is it also possible that drupal can listen to events, sended by that deamon ? And taken some actions when it receive these events ?

For who is interested for the communication protocol that is used, can find it at http://www.vscp.org/
VSCP stands for 'very simple control protocol' and it's a open source protocol that can be used for CAN, RS232, RS485, RF, ethernet ...

Any suggestions, hints are very welcome.

Hello,

I'm wondering what the thoughts on waiting for Drupal 7 to be released (January 24th?) if I'm starting construction on a brand new site?

Should I try to push the client to wait a month while we complete wireframes and architecture so we can build on 7?

Thanks for your thoughts!
