This forum is for less technical discussions about the Drupal project, not for support questions.

I know it's a radical idea but...

By Fusion_Sushi on

Any thought of moving the core to Coldfusion?? I could donate a lot of code to building the framework. All the modules could still run, and in the future exchange information via xml.. think it over and let me know if you want to proceed.

New system for releasing Drupal contributions

By dww on

We've seen explosive growth in 2005 and 2006 based the ability for Drupal sites to rapidly deploy new features that meet real world customer needs, not just fulfill technical requirements. This project aims to increase consultant and site administrators ability to effectively manage releases, security, versioning, issue tracking, and feature deployment into customer ready production environments. By directly improving the Drupal.org release and project management infrastructure we will speed up the life cycle for meeting customer and user requirements and ultimately improve the ability to manage Drupal web sites. Donating to this effort provides funding to accelerate volunteer contributions the Drupal.org project maintainers have made over the past 8 months.

Overview

  • Contributions will have real releases and version strings, just like Drupal core itself
  • Security announcements will refer to exact versions of modules that are effected
  • Issues will be tracked by the exact version number of the contribution where the bug is present
  • Development branches for any given version of the Drupal core -- maintainers can add new features to their module or theme without endangering the stability of other code that is compatible with the same version of Drupal core.
  • All contributions will be clearly identified with the version of Drupal core they are compatible with
  • Users will be able to subscribe via email or RSS to all releases of any project on drupal.org (including Drupal core)

Core and module update notification

By zmikez on

Is there anyway (newsletter, anything) to be notified of updates to core and contributed modules? I've subscribed to the security newsletter and that helps but there are so many updates to contributed modules that just slip under my radar. Any ideas?

Drupal functions

By jazzitup on

Is there a list of main Drupal functions with a brief usage description?

Is the only answer to this question: "includes/common.inc"?
Maybe I should take a look at all the other .inc files in that particular folder?

Will drupal be sufficient if one wants to open up a very large forum ??

By gdev on

I am planning one of my projects in the form of a forum..... this is a forum wich will be quite large and I would like to do it with drupal if possible because the rest of my projects are using / or will be using drupal too ...

My question though is if drupal can handle a very large forum just like PHPBB is able to ? Can anyone enlighten me on this ? I wouldnt like to use anything else than drupal for this...

Drupal development environment, survey

By zoon_unit on

I'd like to start a general survey as to the development environment you guys use to develop in Drupal.

1) Do you develop and make changes directly to your live site?
2) Or do you develop on a local machine and FTP the changes?
3) Do you have a local development server specially set up for Drupal?
4) Do you use Linux or Windows? LAMP or WAMP?
5) Do you make all PHP and CSS changes manually, or do you use an editor like Dreamweaver?
6) If Linux, what editor do you use?
