Drupal Development

Field storage is pluggable - take a look at a 4 GB blob about to go in, and send that to some other storage rather than a MySQL database, and let Drupal know you've taken care of it.

Fields - base types.

Bundles: Mostly equals content types, but the same concept (article has these fields, blog has these fields) but it can be applied to other objects.

Field types - a field attached to a particular bundle.

Core:
Allowed values functionality removed and replaced with list.

spoiler: DRÜPAL ROCKS!!

History of Drupal, his student dorm photo with the giant red sombrero in 1999.

Learning more about PHP and MySQL, the new kids on the block at this time.

DrupalCon Antwerp, more than twice the expected people.

Slide with Robert douglass and his French horn. Wrote the very first Drupal book.

Demoed:
Drag and droppable widgets AND tabs for the front page dashboard for users logged into Drupal.org.

[notes with ALL the personality (even Earl Mile's puppet, George) taken out]

Drupal now is a million lego pieces.

Your module is caught in a tug of war. [People wanting to add more features to it.]

99% of what we build is geared toward people clicking on things and getting it configured.

Scor's presentation:

Just installing RDF CCK, you get all this for free.

It prefaces every field with site:

It's your own local vocabulary.

you can see the entire site schema vocabulary at /ns#

The source

RDF and RDF/XML are two different things.

On the abstract level, you have RDF, a graph representation of the knowledge.

For machines to

n-triple

turtle is currently the one

RDFa was just standardized, it's a serialization built into the HTML.

It's all the same thing on the RDF level.

(Note: This is not an official Science Collaboration Framework document, this is my own draft document for explaining the project, especially to people familiar with Drupal.)

Names are one the annoyances of the web development world. We want to have everything be neat, to have our brilliant content management system (Drupal) take the raw data (a site participant's name) and display it as it makes sense in different contexts.

Sometimes it comes down to asking people what they prefer to be called.

Posting an old and embarrassing note, but this may help other hapless googlers find that the answer is right at home in their Views user interface.

Skip to the conclusion for the answer

apologies for a question that feels like support, but it is either too advanced or too simple to be documented anywhere. We have a block view that shows

where can one put custom code to run even if an argument is provided -- code to modify/transform an argument, not just provide a default if none is present?
