Drupal ad: onto the final polish

By dries on

As reported last week, we have been offered one full-page ad in the Free Software Magazine. We asked the Drupal community to design ads from which we would select one for publication. The feedback we got was amazing, resulting in a dozen ads being proposed and discussed. Unfortunately, we can only select one ad for publication and the May 30th deadline is approaching rapidely. Based on the feedback, I selected one of the beautiful and clever ads designed by Josh Stevens. Josh's winning ad is shown on the right; you can click the thumbnail to see the full-version. Unfortunately, we aren't quite there yet. Hence, the goal of this thread is to finalize the ad; that is, to get the message and the brand right. In other words, it is time for the final polish so please share your thoughts or improvements in the comments ... and hopefully, with the help of the various Drupal designers (and Josh in particular), we can craft the final version of what will be the very first Drupal ad.

Update #1: Chris Messina submitted an interesting variant on Josh's version. See this composite image for ease of comparison. What do you think? More variants with incremental improvements are welcome but most of all, we are looking for concrete suggestions as how to improve the text at the bottom of the ad.

Update #2: just got mail from the Malaysian Open Source Software Magazine: they offered to publish our ad in their magazine as well. Thanks!

file type filtering in upload.module 4.6

By battochir on

I've got 4.6 running...very nice. One question about the upload.module. If I recall correctly, file types were configurable. For example, allow only extensions of file type .jpg, .png, .mov etc. Yet, now in 4.6 I can't find this configuration. Has it been removed or am I overlooking something basic? I've looked into the attachment.module + filemanger.module combo, same deal. Where can I can confgure permitted file types on 4.6?

thanks,
Wim

Simple Album: a very simple way to create photo albums

By Emiliano on

Hi!

We are running a Drupal (4.5.2) powered site heavily based on image.module. This site is about NYC and we'd like to allow our users to create free albums mixing images from several categories.

Since we are not apt to upgrade to Drupal 4.6 yet, we adapted bookreview.module and created what we named 'simplealbum.module'. The ideia is very simple: an album is a node and has its pictures just like a book is a node and has its authors. ;-)

Drupal for classified guides?

By druvision on

I am developing a classified guide (an index of service providers), to classify hundreds of service providers
Each service provider needs to have his/her's own page, with a description of his services, link to the articles he wrote. Each service provider can belong to multiple categories.

Which is the best module to start with?

I tried to implement a service profider as a drupal user, then add fields using the 'Profile' module.

By balanel on

Hello everybody

I would like to use Drupal for a website and I would like to know if Drupal allows to create new content types, if needed (like eZpublish, for example).

Thank you.
