Using Drupal as my blog

I am in the process of switching my blog over to drupal. So far it looks like everything is working. The ninjafish script was a great help. I am still reading up on the different modules available, but the basic look is there.

Take Back The News

We're just launching our Drupal powered site:

Take Back The News - A News Sharing Community
http://www.takebackthenews.com

There is also an interesting conversation about the site at Dan Gillmore's blog:

http://dangillmor.typepad.com/dan_gillmor_on_grassroots/2005/01/your_new...

I'd be interested in what the Drupal community thinks about the site.

Fenway Views

I'm pleased to offer Fenway Views for the inspection of the Drupal community. Fenway Views is a site dedicated to Boston's Fenway neighborhood (yes, there's more to it than Fenway Park!).

Of interest to other Drupal people:

  • I'm using my own version of the old catalog module for links to Amazon. It was geared towards users building personal catalogs, while I'm using it from the standpoint of a single administrator defining items, so I haven't maintained the personal catalog features (and indeed disabled them where they got in the way), so it's pretty much a fork by now. Notable features added: caching of XML from Amazon, and taxonomy-awareness (i.e., the block tries to identify taxonomy terms in the page content and retrieve a catalog item matching those terms). I need to do some cleanup before contributing the module...
  • News items (links to news on other sites) and directory items (yellow pages) are flexinodes. I have a custom module for the listings (notably the sorting of the directory alphabetically by taxonomy terms and node titles), unfortunately quick-and-dirty with hardcoded knowledge of my flexinode types, so not useful to share. It has got me thinking in terms of creating a flexible listing module that would let one create node listings based on various combinations of taxonomy terms and node types, with flexible sorting options...

Chinese literary site rebuilt in Drupal

We are a Chinese literary site since 1997 and before that we published an e-mail version of our monthly "Olive Tree" starting 1995.

The web URL: http://www.wenxue.com/. A simple/old HTML static page redirects to http://www.wenxue.com/T3/ where the new Drupal implementation implementation of the site resides. The Drupal version installed is 4.5.2. Translation of the interface is based on the Simplified Chinese language package from http://drupal.hiweed.com/.

Since last summer we started to search for open source CMS to rebuild a site that has not been changed much since late 1990s and mostly in static HTML pages. Drupal is the one that fits our needs. Things critical for us:

[1] UTF-8 Chinese encoding support. (Not quite there with search functionality but the problem is not drupal specific. In the early versions we tried, there were PHP string/url encoding functions used that did not play nice with UTF-8 strings but those has since been address as far as I can tell.)

[2] Existing Chinese interface translation. At least about 80% done. (This is simply because we don't have the man power to do it from ground up. Truth is that I am the only tech. person.)

[3] Editorial control over content publication.

[4] Integrated BBS.

[5] At the time we didn't realize this but the Blog feature has quite an impact on community building. (Now I need to learn Drupal module to build one that will provide personal link block to show up with the blogs.)

After successfully using drupal to produce our organisation's closed intranet, I was assigned to make our public pages as well. I chose drupal also for this project, as I wanted the pages to be flexible:
