Drupal 7.0 RC 2 Released

By webchick on

Release candidateUpdate: Drupal 7.0 Release Candidate 3 is available now!

We are proud to present to you the second release candidate of Drupal 7.0. Although there are still a few known issues that we are working on fixing, we are confident that our code is stable enough for wider testing by the community. Since the last release candidate two weeks ago, we have fixed upgrade path bugs, improved styling in the default "Bartik" theme, numerous bug fixes and improvements to strings, and fixed a critical bug preventing default Views from working. For the full list of changes, see the release notes.

The first alpha announcement provided a comprehensive list of high level improvements made since Drupal 6.x, so in this announcement we'll concentrate on how you can help ensure that Drupal 7 is released as soon as possible and is as rock solid as the previous Drupal releases that you've grown to love!

There are a number of modules already ported to Drupal 7 for your testing pleasure. You can keep tabs on whether or not your site is ready for Drupal 7 by using the Upgrade Status module. If you are a translator, now is the time to start working on your translations. If you are a module or theme maintainer, now is the time to start working on the update to Drupal 7! Read on for more details.

DoceboLMS (E-Learning) module for Drupal 7.x

By docebo on

This module is a bridge between Drupal and DoceboLMS, the open source e-learning platform.

It is in early development stage and at this time can be considered a proof-of-concept.

Once finished this module will provide:

- single sign on between Drupal and Docebo LMS
- user synchronization between the two platforms
- a "my courses" list block for Drupal
- a Drupal block for search the Docebo Content library objects

How it works:
When a user login in Drupal, if this module is enabled and configured, the user will be automatically logged in also in Docebo, using single sign on.

Any new user available on Drupal will be available on Docebo and vice-versa. At the same way editing a user in Drupal will also have it updated in Docebo. We are still evaluating which data can be kept in sync automatically, for example details like the user password, that can't be read as plain text, won't be automatically changed.

Drupal 7.0 RC 1 released (unofficial announcement)

By drupalshrek on

This is not the official announcement, but I notice that Drupal 7.0 Release Candidate 1 is now available:
http://drupal.org/node/985946

(I knew, according to http://drupal.org/drupal-7.0-beta3 it was due out by end of November, so was keeping my eye out).

It looks like webchick was working hard on this and so has not yet had time to do a formal announcement:

// TODO, along with announcement, after some much-needed sleep. :)
