A year after answering Dries Buytaert's call for Drupal book authors, Aaron Winborn is pleased to announce the publication of Drupal Multimedia, which is now available! Packt Publishing, known for their support of Open Source projects, will donate a portion of the book's royalties to the Drupal Association.
The book teaches the best practices and contributed modules for integrating Images, Video, and Audio into your site. Written for Drupal 6, the book assumes you are a developer, themer, or administrator who needs to embed multimedia. It makes heavy use of Content Construction Kit (CCK) and Views 2, and offers demonstrations of the various modules required for the task.
The book helps to answer common questions, such as when to use Image or ImageField, how to leverage the power of FileField, and how to override theme functions to display multimedia content the way we need it.
The first development version of phpEdu LMS for Drupal 6.x is now available for download. As this is work in progress, test data is also available to ease installation and setup. Please note that no upgrade paths will be provided until a beta version is released as a Drupal installation profile. Further details are available on the project page and phpEdu homepage
The TurnKey Linux project is proud to announce the release of TurnKey Drupal 6, a lightweight, installable live CD of Drupal 6.6, which can run on real hardware in addition to most types of virtual machines.
Out of the box, TurnKey Drupal is designed to provide users with a ready to use, turn-key operating system environment that is carefully built from the ground up with the minimum components needed to run Drupal with maximum usability, efficiency and security.
