Drupal 7.x

Hi mates,

We are about to release very powerful, ready to use out of box drupal solutions. Like a CMS, Social Networking, E-commerce versions of drupal etc.

We wonder what should be the term for naming such solutions... (note: they are different from installation profiles/drupal distributions.)
What we have come up with is.. droobs [DRupal Out Of Box Solutions]

We need your suggestions & feedbacks on this important terminology. please be frank, critic & creative.

thanks in advance,

Hi guys,

I have spent a little time looking into the changes to taxonomy in Drupal 7. If you are interested, read my findings in the Drupal 7 Taxonomy Reinvented post.

Even though the number of changes aren't many, the new taxonomy system in core will add a lot of power.

I am in the process of migrating a WordPress blog to Drupal 7. Thus far, I have migrated to Drupal 6 and now upgraded to Drupal 7 (alpha 5).

I really like the Drupal 7 Administration interface which is the main rationale for the move and most of the D7 modules I need are available or coming with the final release.

The only outstanding issue I have concerns my WP permalink structure which is of the form: '/yyyy/mm/dd/title'

In Drupal 6, it was easy to set up automatic URL aliases using the pattern: [yyyy]/[mm]/[dd]/title-raw.

However, this functionality no longer appears to be available directly in Drupal 7.

The closest I have got so far is to configure the following custom format (using PHP DATE) from 'Configuration-URL Aliases-Patterns':

Using [node:created:custom:'Y/m/d']/[node:title]' but that produces an alias of 'yyyymmdd/title'.

It appears that something (pathauto, token module ?) is removing the slash characters from the aliased URL.

Is there any way I can prevent this happening ?

The setting 'Reduce strings to letters and numbers' is not checked.

'Strings to remove' is the default list of words and doesn't include the '/' character.

The 'Punctuation' page doesn't include the slash '/' character and in any case, you normally do want the slash to be eliminated from a post slug.

Hi

I have read the following Drupal Coding Standards article: http://drupal.org/coding-standards

However, I still have some questions as to best Drupal practices in labeling a function.

I am creating an API module, and many of the API functions do not directly refer to any hooks.

For example, if I have a module foo and it does bar, and there is not a defined hook_bar, then should this external exposed API function be defined as:

Hello,

I decided to go with Drupal for my personal website and other project websites.
I am using wordpress from sometime ...
But after evaluating the possibilities of using drupal, i decided to it in my projects.

My question would is it safe to start with drupal 7 ?
Right now we have drupal 6 with lots of modules but most of the important ones are merged into drupal 7.

So it's confusing for me to choose the correct version for the beginning.
I dont want to be in a endless loop in the near future to update my projects to latest stable core.
