Drupal 6.x

Managing the whole chain: Dev - Integration - Staging - Production is a major issue for Drupal. It's one of the Drupalcon2007 conclusion. As we discussed during the Building High Traffic and Scalable Businesses with Drupal , it is imperative for us to have migration methods and tools.

At France24, we are massively switching on Drupal. At the end of the year, france24.com website and several satelites will be using Drupal 5.2. We need a simple architecture to allow our team of 5 developers :

- to work on the same code repository and database.

- test the function on an integration environment

- publish content and edit configuration on a staging environment

- easily migrate on production or "synchronise" with a production environment.

Today, a majority of the Drupal dev i asked this question aswer me : "we are working directly on the production server, reporting manually the configurations we've made on a staging environment..."

At France24 we worked during 2 months to find a simple solution to answer this question. We have mounted a complete dev -> integration -> production environment responding to our needs. For some days, this platform is used by our team. It seems to work correctly, but we are still testing it. If you want to join the experiment and share, you are welcome.
Synthesis

So here's is our solution.

Currently running sites in PHP Nuke. Playing around with Drupal 6 beta and am impressed. Looks like a great option moving forward. However, after being hacked in Nuke awhile back, I've become very dependent on Nuke Sentinel for security. Being able to easily monitor access, block harvesters, and block entire country ranges has been invaluable to me. I've gone from a plethora of nonsense hits from other countries to practically none. Is there any equivalent functionality or module to Sentinel for Drupal?

The edit-weight field in books has values from -15 to +15. I would like to change this field (in sourcecode named edit-weight) from 1 to 5. How can i do this?

Thanks for help!

Well I am getting close to what I want. I was able to get the user galleries to work using acidfree
along with image and image gallery. However, I don't see any way for users to delete their own images after they upload them. You can edit the galleries themselves but can't delete the images...

Help anyone? :)

Joomla has menu images as an option when creating a new menu item. It would be great if Drupal had this built in as well. Many sites use images as menu items, as well as images (icons) along side of text for the menu items. There are also JavaScript effects many use such as mouseover and highlight of text as the mouse pointer goes over the menu items.

Hi,
