Check out Drupal

Marc Canter writes about wanting tools he used to have in Radio Userland. The first feature he mentions is one of the key features of Drupal. "The functionality of having a POST button right next to the news story - is essential." I could not agree more. In fact the features he asks for are possible in Drupal. I'm not certain that the WYSIWYG copy and paste is standard but it wouldn't be difficult to add. Drupal is rapidly out pacing many of its 'peers' who seem to rest more on their laurels than innovation.

A seperate post answers Dave Winer's (majority shareholder and founder of Userland) question about why not stay with Radio. I have to agree. Winer took the Userland products (Radio, Frontier) commercial for all the right reasons. He needed to and it seems they are doing very well. But they attract a different audience as commercial products. The community that had been vibrant and public has now either ebbed into the 'paid' areas of content for the product's owners or disappeared entirely (I'm really not certain, the last time I owned one of the products the paid area was definitely thinner than the previous public community had been). Either way the visibility and realization of the possibilities is now available only to those who continue to pay for their subscription.

Drupal handbook going CC

Drupal handbook going CC 12/19/2004 02:55 PM

The handbook for Drupal, one of the most popular web content management systems (Spread Firefox is a recent high-profile example) has adopted Creative Commons licensing so as to

• make clear that Drupal community members can use the documentation in the Drupal handbook in other contexts, such as revising and developing site specific help docs.
• allow the integration of already existing Drupal documentation being developed outside of drupal.org by Bryght, CivicSpace, and others.
• eliminate potential legal conflicts over rights of use.

This is a good example of a community taking an existing work with a large number of contributors and obtaining the agreement necessary to take advantage of a standard Creative Commons license.

Thanks to Victor Stone for the pointer.

Moving to Drupal

Moving to Drupal 02/05/2005 09:11 PM

I'm working on moving CP to Drupal. It's amazingly easy since someone wrote an importer in Perl that actually uses MT's own code to get the data and then writes it to the Drupal DB. Even better is that with a simple one-line update to the code it will take the URL that MT gave the entry and give that to the new entries, so all my old links will work.

So, with that done, I work on the template to bring this theme over to Drupal (I did it before for an old version of MG, so I'll just toy with that one).

So, why Drupal? Well...

Drupal for Bloggers

Drupal for Bloggers
http://j ames.seng.cc/wiki/wiki.cgi?Drupal_For_Bloggers

Drupal is a very powerful Open Source Content Management System (CMS) which can be configured for many purposes, ranging as a collobrative tool to simple blogging.

The purpose of 'Drupal for bloggers' is develop a customized version of Drupal which has features that typical movabletype (MT) bloggers are used to. This is based on Drupal 4.4.1 so it is pretty stable but it is not complete. The goal is to develop it to a stage where the default installation is a blogsite, with all the neccessary modules and hacks to make it user friendly (good enough to replace movabletype) at the sametime not touching any core drupal system so you can still use all the wonderful drupal plugins.

You can take a try out the system before you use by clicking here.

Drupal is Live

Drupal is Live 02/05/2005 09:11 PM

And now we're up on Drupal.

1. Hacked mt2drupal to support the contributed trackback.module in Drupal 4.5+
2. Hacked mt2drupal to use MT's calculated archive link for the entry in Drupal's URL table rather than a self-generated one.
3. Hacked autopath.module to re-create my old-style of archive links for new entries.
4. Cleaned up old converted MG template to make it match CP again; merged some stylesheets in the process.

Missing in action:

• Random quotes.
• Old forum content and users.
• Offtopic blog
• Some static pages (coming along one-by-one).
• MT

FOAF is making it into Drupal.

So for all you Drupal lovers and suppoters out there we have a question for you......

"What sort of relationships would you like to see established between DSrupal members?  Should we create really specific kind of relationships, like Project Colleague or more general ones, like friend - or both?"

We need to know as we're extending the drupal.profile module to import/export FOAF and........

Where are the objects in Drupal?

Where are the objects in Drupal? 04/04/2005 10:32 AM

So we've hired a bunch of programmers who have asked me "where are the 'classes' in Drupal?" "Why doesn't Drupal have 'object-oriented' programming?"

These and a host of other related questions were put to Moshe Weitzman - one of the NON Bryght Drupal dudes we've hired recently (yes things are taking off here at Broadband Mechanics.) So Moesh sat down with some of his homeboys and wrote up this little tome - which I thought some of you might be interested in.

Jonas Luster or Leonard Lin might wanna also weigh in - as well as Phil Pearson or Lucas Gonze. Is this whacky Drupal hook system any good?

WHAT! Nodes aren't objects! And what's the story with these GoF dudes? Design Patterns - hmmmmm.

We can make this a real blogosphere conversation!

Have at it dudes. Can 1,000 Drupal programmers be wrong? Are they correct in all their assumptions?

Only the end-users will know for sure - cause last I looked - they don't care. But I care.

Holy Drupal!

Holy Drupal! 12/29/2003 11:44 PM
Just stop the bus and lemme off. If you care about small (and not so small) CMSes, you owe it to yourself to take a hard look at Drupal 4.2. Yeah, it's a bitch to install without command line access -- though there are ways -- but Drupal's getting so many conceptual things right that it can't be ignored. Drupal looks very rich and very extensible. Because it's open-source GNU/GPL licensed, I predict it'll pull ahead and stay ahead of all competing products. The UI's not all it...

Noah Mittman: “If you’ve wanted to post more than just blogs with Drupal and your remote client of choice, it’s worth taking a look at walkah’s patch to the blogapi.module which allows you to use, say, MarsEdit, to post blog, stories and forum content.” (Note: it works with ecto too.)

Moving Movable Type to Drupal

Moving Movable Type to Drupal 12/07/2002 09:32 AM
Moving Movable Type to Drupal Well anyone who's into blogging and more than a bit geeky would probably like this one. It's a description of how one user moved from Movable Type to Drupal, step by step. Nicely done ! Why migrate I migrated my MT blog to Drupal. It wasn't easy to make this decision, because I became used to the ease of use that came with MT in terms of setting up, administering, and blogging. I simply found that MT was lacking in some of the features and scalability I need, particularly with regard to classification and news feed aggregation. Since I've been using Drupal for the past year and extolling its features, I decided to eat my own dog food and use Drupal for my personal site. This way I can contribute to its development because I'll be looking at it more from the back side.Migrating was not exactly for the PHP/MySQL novice -- which I consider myself -- so I wanted to document my experience for others who might consider the same move. I encourage anyone who decides to go with Drupal to please consider becoming part of the development list and get involved with helping evolve the application. Drupal is a very programmer-centric application at the movement, catered to technical people, but if non-technical people or people who demmand ease of use and usbility begin to add their voice to the development list, perhaps the administration experience will improve. I hope to throw some time into making these types of contributions in the future.So here's how I migrated (this is being updated presently): [_Go_] It's definitely worth reading. And I've added his blog to my favorites so I make sure to follow it. His comments about moving to Drupal for the news aggregator are on point (here's a tutorial on it I wrote). Beyond the news aggregator, an additional useful tool is that the blogroll is dynamic and shows you how recently the blog was updated. That's often more than enough to tell you to read it. His points about Drupal becoming more usable are definitely on point -- but they are a very big concern of the project and we're pushing to get them addressed. This brings up a very good point about open source: we tend to like to make people happy. Just like anyone else and the "squeaky wheel gets the grease". If people start complaining about something (usability) then it tends to get addressed -- particularly if the project is user driven as is Drupal. Our user base to this point has been more technical and that's affected what we work on. Now its getting more end userish and that will be reflected. I've talked with the one of the project leaders on this and he definitely gets it.

Heliopod: A Great Looking Drupal Site 11/01/2002 06:49 PM
Heliopod: A Great Looking Drupal Site Wow. HelioPod rocks. This is a cool community site / blog site for the Solaris platform. Best of all (well from my perspective at least) it's built with one of my favorite open source projects, Drupal (yes, Drupal is php based). [ Go ] They're even very generously offering to host blogs for Solaris folk: Just wanted to remind everyone that if you create an account (over there on the right) you can then keep a personal weblog on our server. It's a great place to post your daily Solaris experiences, or really anything you want.If you are a vendor, we encourage you to create a weblog and post your specials and deals. If enough people vote +1 in the submission queue, we'll promote it up to the front page for all to see. But even if it isn't on the front page, it's still visible on the User Blogs page. You can't complain about a little free advertising.So sign up, and tell the Heliopod community about your Solaris adventures. I'm not a big Sun guy but if I was I'd be spending a lot of time there. Oh and for more information on Drupal go here. [ Go ]
