New Drupal Backup Service: NodeSquirrel.com

By dgorton on

NodeSquirrelNodeSquirrel.com is an offsite Drupal backup service that stores your site's backups safely off of your server and in the cloud. It works natively with both Drupal 6 & 7 and does so by extending the popular Backup and Migrate module -- which we also write, maintain and support. If you have a Drupal site that you want to backup securely and automatically, NodeSquirrel may be just what you're looking for!

NodeSquirrel takes your normal Backup and Migrate backups and sends them to a secure off-server location. All backups travel over SSL and are stored in an encrypted format once they arrive. All of the standard features of Backup and Migrate (automatic schedules, backing up files and database, adding additional AES encryption, etc.) work as normal, which allows you to customize your backups for your needs. Backups are visible from within your Drupal site as well as from the NodeSquirrel management console.

We need more press releases - discussion

By mgifford on

I talked about this issue in general here #1811294: We need more press releases but probably should have started here first.

There's lots of reasons to do up press releases. DrupalCon's, community events around the world, work on mobile or RDFa.

Drupal.org marketplace upgrade

By tvn on

The Marketplace section on Drupal.org has been revamped through major changes. Most of it happened a couple of weeks ago, but some are as recent as this week. This post will give you quick overview of what has changed and what you need to know and do right now to keep your Marketplace listing up-to-date.

If you don't want to read all the details, jump to What is going on next, that is important for your listing.

So what changed?

The structure

When the work was begun the old services pages (part of the handbook) were removed and the new marketplace was titled “Marketplace preview.” That interim title is gone, the old handbooks are gone, and the Marketplace now has 3 sections:

Hosting section stayed completely the same. As for the other two - there are some updates.

Drupal Services now has 2 listings: Featured providers and All providers, with Featured section being the landing page of the Marketplace.

New Module: QR Code Login - turn the smartphone into a key!

By bernd.borchert on

We developped a software for Internet portals to let their users log in at any PC via their smartphone - instead of password. This way the user does not need to memorize the password neither the username, neither does he have to type them - the smartphone does the job.

The smartphone becomes a key!
