Drupal 8.x

when i search for "organic groups" and tick "modules" this project doesn't show up

http://drupal.org/project/og

why?

I, and I'm sure every single user of the Drupal.org website would enormously benefit from a single-line 200 character description of what a contributed module/theme does. I appreciate this would take a lot of effort perhaps, but would make finding modules and identifying what they do much easier.

eg.

hello guys

i have client who want to change his site to drupal but he wants his site with database and the customer search the rate by the zip code or the address. by the way. he wants his site to be like ground link http://www.groundlink.com/ . so any ideas how i can build it!! which modules??

I don't mean any of this as a rant, but after working on numerous drupal 6 to 7 upgrades, I feel like offering a suggestion I thought of earlier today while working on yet another seemingly needlessly complicated migration.

There are no shortage of posts that many are concerned about the path of drupal generally and some are shying away due to poor upgrade paths and not agreeing generally with future roadmaps and the work this creates for developers, module maintainers, etc. Personally I think drupal is quite good, those with limited dev experience can do great things with it, those with strong programming skills can still benefit, but upgrading in particular is often a nightmare except for the simplest of sites. This is not entirely uncommon with -some- other cms systems however.

As drupal really grew with d6 and now more with d7 many of the larger adopters have yet to go through an actual version upgrade and when they do they may or may not change their opinions/adoption of drupal - this part only time will tell... In the last few weeks I've learned more and more (in part by looking at alternatives with similar feature sets and better backwards compatibility) about where drupal is heading and I'm mostly intrigued. That said, I have one interesting suggestion....

Hi all,

I've been setting up and maintaining a Drupal-website on the topic of Quizzing.

I've been using content types to create 'quizzes' , from which a calendar is generated and a content type 'quiz team' to register teams .

The following project would be to create a content type 'Quiz results' in order to have users add results, which I would like to use to generate a ranking. This would just be a form with fields 'Position 1= Quiz Team X', Position 2=quiz team Y', etc...

I like the auto-completion functionality for the 'Entity Reference'-field: I have a list of registered 'quiz teams', and the auto-completion works quite fast, which makes it easy to complete such a 'Quiz result' Form. Typically, one would have to fill out a form with the names of the first 15 teams to complete such a 'Quiz result' form. Hope this still makes any sense.

Now, the problem is that it is quite common for a new team to appear in the quiz results. If it's not registered yet, I would like the user to just input the name of the new team and have Drupal generate a new entity of the type 'Quiz Team' with that name, so that this name can be retrieved from the autocompletion-list the next time this quiz team gets a result. But this does not seem to be possible with the Entity Reference field.
