Needs Improvement

Workable solution needs improvement

Printing an arbitrary menu just like primary_links and secondary_links

You can find out your menu name by going to admin/build/menu and hovering over it-- the name is a text string, separating the words in the menu title with dashes, and all lower case.

In your template.php

<?php
function agarictheme_preprocess_page(&$vars) {
  $menu = menu_navigation_links("menu-name-here");
  $vars['special_menu_name'] = theme('links', $menu);
}
?>

In page.tpl.php (or page-front.tpl.php or other variation)

Powering Drupal search with Apache Solr

After having spent some weeks in the US with my colleagues from Natick, Massachusetts, and Providence, Rhode Island, I am back in Germany now. We went to DrupalCon DC together which turned out to be an inspiring event for a Drupal newbie like me. One of the sessions I attended was More than search; how ApacheSolr changes the way you build sites by Jacob Singh.

What is Solr? Here's what the developers say:

A way to disable modules, functionality, and cron hooks in different environments

In on use case, feeds as nodes (with FeedAPI) causes issues with dbscripts approach to managing staging and deployment. Dev and live will pull the same content with a different IDs. In one solution, we'll have to disable aggregation on development.

Do we have a module for that? "if at this address, force this module to disabled." Not that we can find.

It is a shame this isn't part of settings.php

Science Collaboration Framework repository structure

SCF may have to move to a full Drupal distribution at some point, but for now it is a profiles directory that can be put into any Drupal 6 installation (before or after install is run).

Modules

The modules directory is currently broken down into categories.

modified

If a module is customized, modifications to a module that is available elsewhere, it should be called something else. Otherwise there are namespace conflicts, one overriding the other, and potentially breaking the dependencies for it.

There's got to be a module for that...

Presenting Drupal and Semantic Web

from video. Presentation by Boris Mann.

Drupal 7 will be the most widely deployed Semantically enabled platform.

Not technically true, but practically speaking, this is the way we can use it.

Blog = Better Listings On Google
CMS = Content Made Semantic

I firmly believe the Semantic Land Rush will happen (heh, i made my gold rush slide a week before– we're thinking the same).

The Golde hypothesis includes a claim which is inconsistent with another claim in the same hypothesis. This suggests something is wrong here.
