General discussion

I have created a module, that currently creates a working content type. But what I am trying to accomplish is that the content type I have (which has a handful form fields) is to actually be a skeleton for the admin to create content types. SO in effect, when the module is enabled, it will create the db table, but will not yet create an actual content type. And the Admin would be able to go to a link/form (presumably the add content type form) and create a new content type, but rather than a completely new type, it will use my pre-generated content type skeleton as a base.

Here's the reason. We have a form which is fairly complex. But we want to be able to have different variations of this form. Currently each form will have different Titles, css style sheets, and some of the select list options may change. These 3 things should be determined when the content type is created. SO when I'm filling out the form to create this content type, I tell it what, if any, extra style sheet to use (which then uploads it into the themes directory, or somewhere in the uploads dir. currently were just specifying a name and dropping the css file into the theme). We will also give it a title, and specify the options that should be present for this instance of the form.

Hello,

I'm a designer/front-end developer and I am just curious to hear what kind of content staging processes anyone would like to share.

We have local Drupal instances, a staging instance company internal folks can see, and then production.

Here is a most case scenario process:

- Wireframe
- Design
- Get the basic layout and dummy content in my local instance, create CSS as needed
- Push code to staging so I have my styles there
- Stage the content on staging instance internal clients can see and review
- Lots of review, content changes, having everyone "sign off", etc.
- Finally build the content on production and publish/go live
- The next day someone actually looks at it for the first time and freaks out and I change something.

Anyway, the process kind of sucks. I know I can just build unpublished nodes on production and send those out to people in the company and give them permissions to see the unpublished content. But, there are a couple of reasons it is nice to have something on staging first:

• We can refer to the original content and have something to back us up when it comes to approval (past node revisions on production aren't always reliable and you can't track every change depending on the types of content pieces in the panel)

Hello,

This is my first time posting on this forum and I am looking for some advice. Not sure if this is the correct part of the forum so please forgive me if I have it wrong.

I am really not sure if I am on the right thread so I ask you to forgive me if I am not and if you do know where I can have some further information, please give me some pointers.

We are migrating the Brazilian Public Software Portal into Drupal and we are already experiencing with the International Public Software Portal in this link: http://spi.softwarepublico.gov.br

We want the projects hosted in our portal to use our git repository and I am trying to find a couple of things:
