Paid work for Drupal developer

By robertDouglass on

Hey everyone,

I'm taking bids on a project which I need completed and don't have time to do myself. I would most like it to be done in Drupal, though I'm running it as a general project auction at http://www.elance.com (Project ID: 9570308). Project description follows. If you're interested in working on it, contact me directly (rob at robshouse dot net) or place a bid on Elance. Post questions here. Here's the project description:

This bid is to implement an ecommerce website, based on a popular PHP open source solution, which exactly implements the described workflow. The site will be hosted on my server. Please ask if you need details about my server configuration, but it is a Linux server running Apache and a recent version of PHP.
Here is a sample workflow which would solve the problem at hand:

User roles: manager, freelancer.

1. Manager logs in and either selects a project from the list of existing projects or proposes a new project.
2. If a new project was proposed, it must be approved by the site admin. It must be possible to add a description and a couple other text fields to a project.
3. Manager pledges money to the project. Money is transferred, via PayPal (and perhaps other payment methods), to the site's account. All PayPal costs (for present and future transactions) get subtracted from the pledge. 2% of the pledge gets subtracted from the pledge. This new sum gets added to the total pledges for the project.

Drupal at LinuxTag in Germany

By killes@www.drop.org on

Drupal is going to be represented at LinuxTag in Karlsruhe, Germany, from the 23rd to the 26th of June 2004. We will be sharing the CMS-booth (H105) with Zope, Plone, sTeam, Caudium, and Pike.

There will be a Drupal poster, Drupal leaflets, and - if I manage to get one - me wearing a Drupal t-shirt. I'll also demonstrate Drupal using a projector. I hope to be able to convert all the Zope people to happy Drupal users so show up and give me support. ;)

DrupalEd and DrupalBlog: Preconfigured Drupal Distributions

By cel4145 on

Next week, I'll be presenting with three others on Drupal at the 2004
Computers and Writing Conference. My part will be to present an introduction
to Drupal and provide pre-configured versions of Drupal for the computers and
writing field, those teachers in English most concerned with the theory and
practice of writing with computers, electronic discourse, and the use of computers
in the classroom. It is my hope that by seriously reducing the learning curve
necessary to get a Drupal site up and running, Drupal will be more inviting
to the members of this discipline, and, indeed, other teachers and users as
well.

Thus, DrupalEd is a pre-configured Drupal install intended for an online writing
environment based upon my and others' experience teaching with Drupal this
past year. DrupalBlog is a general blog configuration of Drupal that I have
been using on my weblog and installing for others. Each contains Drupal 4.4.1
core and contributed modules without changes by me, except for the addition
of numerous Xtemplate skins (available
for download all together as a separate package). Each also contains a detailed
configuration guide that provides some basic instructions on initial site configuration.
The guides are built into the site within the collaborative book and included
in the distribution itself as a pdf. The install process is the same as for
Drupal with my database dumps and collections of files. However, the site uses
clean URL's, requiring that Apache mod_rewrite must be available to the .htaccess
file.

An article posted at SitePoint discusses use of Drupal in the US political campaigns and walks new users through the installation and configuration process.

MovableToDrupal template

By Bèr Kessels on

If you are new to drupal and you a used to the Movable Type look and feel you might want your new drupal website to look as much as possible like your old movable-type website.
For those people I created a template that looks like the "clean MT" look, plain black and grey with white backgrounds.
This theme is also meant as an example for your own MT template.

Drupal 4.4.2 release schedule

By Dries on

It has been three weeks since we released Drupal 4.4.1 and some bugs have been fixed since then. No critical bugs were identified yet I'd like to release Drupal 4.4.2, a second maintenance release, shortly. It would be nice if you could help squash pending bugs as well as help test the DRUPAL-4-4 branch so we can start packaging Drupal 4.4.2 in one or two weeks from now.
