Sharing Content Between Drupal 7 sites with Views, XML, Feeds, and XPath Parser

Submitted by Benjamin Melançon on January 13, 2012 - 3:05pm

after wasting untold hours with Deploy and Services modules, i switched to using views with xml export and Mitchell's xpath parser module on the intake side. Thing is magic, just wish he hadn't disappeared again and had done it in 1/10th the time it took me

Bloody magic, i imagine a lot from feeds, but it does taxonomy terms and images perfectly, and links in the url and title pieces, once it is all exported as plain text in xml (i was more comfortable with creating the dedicated feed than doing the HTML parsing)

On the source site, download the Views Datasource project

A WordPress Agency Moves Away from Wordpress

Despite being into Drupal and believing in the software and the community, one tends to know the faults of one's own software better than the faults of other software. So the image of WordPress is something that just works, and is able to do seamless upgrades version after version, etc.

But, obviously, it's not right for everything, and its fans can realize that, too.

Shaping Drupal's Future (presentation description)

Drupal does not belong to the Drupal Association. It does not belong to Node One, Phase Two, Chapter Three, Four Kitchens, Palantir, Acquia, or even Agaric. It does not belong to Dries— except the name. It belongs to you, and every other person who steps up to claim it, equally.

What does it mean to take ownership?

Place chat room tabs vertically in Konversation IRC client

Konversation is the best of the IRC clients i could find for Ubuntu, as in, it is the least annoying. But if you have as many IRC chat room tabs open as i usually have, the default configuration of having them across the bottom makes the name of each tab impossible to read very quickly.

Fortunately, this is configurable.

Settings > Configure Konversation

Drupal Training Programs

Agaric does trainings (in addition meetups and camps and involvement in events and programs related to the the Definitive Guide to Drupal), but we haven't started a formal public program. Update 2014: OK we've done enough, especially with OwnSourcing, to consider it semiformal. Contact Agaric or contact OwnSourcing for Backbone, Drupal 8, or other exciting trainings.

PHP Arrays plus symbol (+) syntax

http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.array.php

With the $array1 + $array2 syntax, anything with a text key in $array1 is kept, at the expense of anything with the same key in $array2.
