Drupal 7.x

Hi Everyone,

I am fairly familiar with Drupal, but am looking to hire an experienced developer for my project as it's simply too big for me to handle. The problem is that I'm not familiar with the going rates for Drupal development. Could some of you guys shed some light on this? (Via contact form is fine if you do not wish to post publicly.) I would like to get a good idea of going rates vs. experience before posting a job ad.

I just saw the backup & migration module

Hi there.

I'm rather new to Drupal - and I created a custom page.tpl.php file.

My question is on adding logic to the page.tpl.php file. I'd like to do this ... I'd like to call an image on page based on what node is being displayed.

Basically,

if node=1, display image 1.jpg
if node=2, display image 2.jpg
else don't display an image.

help?

Hi,

I started building my first Drupal site back in September 2008. It has now been 7 months and I am still working on it =] although I am pretty close to finish. I wonder, in general, how long it takes everyone to build their Drupal site (of course I understand it all depends on how complicated the site is...)

My approach is to get all the modules that I need when building the site, aim on upgrading/maintaining after the launch, but I am not sure if it is better to just get the minimum done then add more after launching the site. What do you guys think?

Hi there,

I am new at Drupal theming. I have to decide between Smarty and PHPTemplate and ran into some old discussions about Smarty vs PHPTemplate, but nothing current.
Although PHPTemplate seems to be used by the majority of Drupal themers, I agree with those who say that Smarty seems cleaner, safer and more readable. So why is it not the primary engine? Is it just Drupal's developer culture, or are there other drawbacks (e.g. performance wise)?

It's not (yet) a burning question, but we are likely to start wondering more and more When will Drupal 7.0 be released?

I think that there is a potential benefit from using a "Prediction Market" to answer this question and created a market for this question on HubDub:

When will Drupal 7.0 be released?

If you want to make a prediction on the market you'll need an account on HubDub at which point you get $1000 in "HubDub" money to make predictions.
