Drupal 4.4.0 release

By dries on

After an extensive testing period, the Drupal project has released version 4.4.0 of its open-source content management and community platform. The release of version 4.4.0 adds a number new features that improve Drupal's flexibility, performance, usability and accessibility. A list of the major changes and additions is provided below. For more information, please refer to the CHANGELOG.

[ANN] PHP Template Theme

By adrian on

I just committed the first release of a new pure php template based theme for Drupal 4.4.0 and current CVS.

Features

  • Select template from a list of available choices
  • Easily create your own template by copying and modifying the default template directory
  • Uses CSS, XHTML for all layout. (No tables for layout).
  • Multiple block placement options allow for blocks to be displayed
    on the left, right, or both sides of the page.
  • Multiple mission statement display options, allow you to display
    the default site mission statement, a custom statement, or no
    statement at all.
  • Optional search box which only appears if a user has access to the
    search functionality.
  • Change the logo from the configuration page
  • Supports avatars in both the comments , and the nodes.
  • Very robust due to the use of php as the templating language

Lame virus circulating through drupal list server

By Max Bell on

And it probably doesn't even bear mentioning, except that I've now been spammed half a dozen times from any number of domains, and I'm mildly concerned that whoever has done this may have used one of my email addresses to spam the list server.

User profile improvements

By dries on

Earlier this week I committed a new profile module to the development branch. I just finished upgrading drupal.org to take advantage of these new improvements. If you check your account settings (authentication required), you'll notice that I added quite a few fields that let you define your role within the Drupal community or the Drupal project.

Furthermore, updated profiles can be browsed (or filtered) using some of these new fields. For example, click here for a list of Belgian Drupal users, here for a list of female Drupal users or here for a list of documentation contributors.

(Update, March 21: I've made some more changes based on the feedback posted in the comments. The updates are outlined below. You might want to revisit your account settings.)

Finally -- a current Debian package

By bengen on

A few hours ago, I uploaded a package of Drupal version 4.3.2 to Debian unstable. This upload will hopefully fix all the critical bugs of the previous package (and introduce no new ones). Another highlight is that the package supports PostgreSQL (although this may still need some polishing).

Please submit any bugs you find in my package through the Debian bug tracking system, since that's the quickest and most reliable way of reaching my attention.

AFCN offers $8,000 for best Open Source packages

By designnine on

The AFCN (Association For Community Networking) is offering $8,000 in two categories for the package that best meets the AFCN specifications. A Drupal-based package could be a strong contender in the CMS category.
