Developer tools

Module integrating Pirobox – Lightbox plugin and feature to add markers on the image.

The Pirobox Tipster has Imagefield with ImageCache support.

This module provides developers with tools to deal with SASS/SCSS stylesheets. It uses phamlp as a base, but would be better if you used this updated version , PHP port of Haml and Sass, to compile SASS / SCSS files into CSS.

The process is entirely automated and does not require special access to the system, (i.e., can be used on minimal featured hosts).

The source files can be converted to CSS on every request (for active development) or can be generated once and included in the built in CSS aggregation (production mode).

Active Development: This project is currently under active development and will support first a Drupal 6 version and then a Drupal 7 version.

Alternative modules: There are other modules which attempt to provide the same functionality, however they seem to rely on having some sort of system command installed, which is not very friendly to limited access hosting environments, and have other limitations that are noted below.

• SASS API only supports a single SASS file, no option to configure the path to the binary, and release version doesn't actually work.

This module deletes all database tables and files for the current site and redirect back to install.php so that one can reinstall Drupal from scratch. The purpose of this module is to assist in the testing of install profiles. It is only useful during development.

This module will allow Drupal to replace textarea fields with the CKEditor 4 - a visual HTML editor, usually called a WYSIWYG editor. This HTML text editor brings many of the powerful WYSIWYG editing functions of known desktop editors like Word to the web. It's very fast and doesn't require any kind of installation on the client computer.

What is CKEditor?

CKEditor is the far superior successor of FCKeditor. The editor has been rebranded and completely rewritten. It is now much faster (the code has been optimized), loads faster (the number of files has been reduced, so the browser will perform less HTTP requests) and developer-friendly.

Concept

Imagine that a new version of your favorite distribution is released. What if all you had to do to upgrade an existing installation was to type: "drush distro update", no matter how radical the changes in the distribution's composition? Is that a goal worth pursuing?

Semantic Versioning

After releasing Distro, we found Semantic Versioning manifesto: http://semver.org/ and were pleasantly surprised to see how well our goals aligned with the thinking of Mr. Preston-Werner. We will try to keep an eye on the progress of Semantic Versioning and adopt its best-practices when possible.

Description

Distro is a client/server tracker to manage modules and features that make up a Drupal distribution. While features are used to encapsulate distribution functionality, and an installation profile is used for initial installation of a distribution, "distro" does the remaining part: things necessary to easily maintain an up-to-date distribution installations.

Near-Future Goals

Full support of Features, integration with Drush, integration with Aegir.
