Donate to drupal by running Ads!

By bertboerland on

Some might help this drupal community by adding code, writing modules, helping out in the fora or do some documentation. For some time you can support drupal as well by donating money in the "donate" area. In case you want to add something to this community as well but are unable to code, make a theme, document and you don’t have any money to spare on drupal, here is your change to help the community!

It is time to join efforts of all drupal users to bring in more cash for better promotion, remain the high uptime of drupal.org and add more features without costing you anything! All you have to do is add some code to your theme to show a google ad(sense). The revenues of this ad might be anywhere between 10 dollarcents and 8 USD per day for a busy drupal site. But if a couple of dozen drupal sites will run the ads, this might sum up to a lot of money per month! The downside? Your will have ads on your site / within your layout, the google adsense bot will visit your site often and you give a way how many visitors with a javascript enables browser visit your site to Google.

New contributed theme: SpreadFireFox

By kbahey on

Those who have visited Spread Firefox will know that it has a very nice theme, designed by Chris Messina (a.k.a. FactoryJoe). Since SpreadFirefox (also nicknamed SFX) runs on CivicSpace, it is behind Drupal in releases, and hence is at 4.4 or so now. After some persuasion (i.e. bugging Chris), and offering to work on the theme and bring it up to 4.5, he agreed, and I have been hacking at it for some time. It now works with 4.5 and Drupal CVS (pre-4.6).

New contributed theme: FriendsElectric

By Steven on

Yesterday I committed a first version of my new Drupal theme FriendsElectric. It is PHPTemplate-based and tableless, uses semantic XHTML and fully supports all theme options (slogan, logo, primary/secondary links, etc). You can check out a quick live demo on my site. The theme is designed for compatibility with the latest versions of the major browsers out there, but will not work on dinosaur browsers (most notably, IE5/Win and IE5/Mac).
