New book: Drupal 7 Module Development

By agentrickard on

Drupal 7 Module Development has been published by Packt, just in time for the release of Drupal 7. This book provides in-depth coverage of key elements of Drupal 7 and is designed for professional developers. Every chapter provides fully functional code samples illustrating the APIs and strategies discussed in the chapter. With this foundation, developers can quickly build sophisticated tools on their own by making use of the strategies and techniques exemplified in this book.

If you are a PHP developer or a Drupal user looking to dive into Drupal development then you will find this book an excellent introduction to coding within Drupal. Those with some Drupal experience will also find this an invaluable tool for updating their knowledge about the powerful new features of Drupal 7. Theme developers looking to extend their abilities will find this an accessible introduction to PHP coding within the Drupal environment.

About the book

The co-authors of the book have been collaborating since summer of 2009. We tried to write the book that we wanted, but could not find, when we started working on Drupal 6. That is, we tried to cover some of the more complex topics and bigger changes in the newest version of Drupal.

Docs Team Winter 2010 Update

By arianek on

Hello from your friendly neighbourhood Drupal Docs co-leads!

It's been an action-packed December in the Drupal Docs world. Drupal 7 is poised to be released in the next few weeks, and we’ve been focusing accordingly on getting the Drupal 7 documentation ready. In addition, Addison Berry (outgoing docs lead) used the last chunk of her Knight Foundation grant to fund a planning meeting and sprint in Vancouver in early December. At the planning meeting, the incoming and outgoing documentation team leadership got together with a few Drupal.org redesign and infrastructure people to make plans and set realistic goals for the next year. We followed this up with an all-day documentation sprint that was open to the general documentation community, with participants both in Vancouver and around the world in IRC. Thanks to all who participated!

One of our goals as new documentation team leaders is to post regular status updates, in order to communicate our goals and plans, what we’ve been doing, and what we’re hoping to accomplish with your help. This will be the first of our quarterly updates, and the sections below outline some of the short-term and longer-term priorities of the Documentation Team. Since this is our first official communication, we have a lot to catch up on!

Drupal Get Records re-written to conform to Dupal.org's new theme and module list layouts

By nstrassner on

Here is a utility program for Drupal programmers:

I got really tired of perusing Drupal theme and module records on-line and using the Drupal.org's search utility which, frankly, could use some improvements.

So, I wrote "GetDrupalRecords" (available at http://www.strassner.com/drupal-utility-software), which will allow you to download all themes and/or module summaries to a single local file, or multiple local files, on your hard drive. You can also choose to get the summaries only or get the complete record, plus you can eliminate the releases tables, or leave them active. All links are preserved so they get back to Drupal.org destinations.

Why use this program? Because searching for and perusing themes and modules is MUCH faster locally, no matter what kind of internet connection you have.

Download link is available at http://www.strassner.com/drupalpgming

Here is what's in the readme file:

GetDrupalRecords, Copyright ©2010, Norman H. Strassner

Get Drupal Records is a program that retrieves theme and module summaries from Drupal.org’s web site and saves them either to a single HTML document or separate HTML documents.

All options are present on the user interface.

Select whether you want to retrieve Theme or Module information.
Select the Drupal version for which these themes or modules are designed for.
