På DrupalCamp Stockholm 09 11–12 november höll jag en föreläsning om “Versionshantering med Bazaar för designers”. Här nedan kan ni ladda hem presentationen som PDF-fil. Föreläsningen inleddes med en presentation om vad versionshantering är, vad man kan göra med det och hur ett arbetsflöde kan se ut.
In Drupal 7 InnoDB will replace MyISAM as the default storage engine for increased scalability and data integrity. Most big sites are already using InnoDB, drupal.org does since some time. InnoDB is generally a better choice for Drupal so why wait for Drupal 7.
In my blog post Running Lighttpd as a static file server for Drupal 6 on a Debian GNU/Linux server I describe how I set up a static file server here on xdeb.org. I mentioned there that I have not done any benchmarking on the improvements.
Go to an updated version from 2011 of this blog post. During the summer I have worked out a Bazaar based workflow for Drupal sites that I think will work well for me. I have moved most of my sites in to this workflow and worked on them for some weeks and it feels good.
I found Robert Douglass article Using Lighttpd as a static file server for Drupal and thought it would be interesting to try out. Check also out the Lighttpd home page (pron. lighty). There are two main reasons for using a separate server for static files.
At DrupalCamp Stockholm 2009 Robert Douglass from Acquia talked about Drupal with Apache Solr search. Solr takes searching in Drupal a huge step forward. Speed and faceted search on author/type/term/language/date/CCK fields are the main features. A “Did you mean …” function is there also and it works surprisingly well.
I’m using Safari on my iPhone to browse the web more than I thought I would. Mobil Safari display pages very much like Safari on Mac OS X so it mostly works really well. A web design however rarely works well on both a big computer screen and a small handheld screen, even a high resolution one like on the iPhone.
Drupalcon 2008 i Szeged var fantastisk! Konferensen själv var otroligt välorganiserad, konferenslokalen hypermodern och trevlig, staden vacker och ren, människorna trevliga och välkomnande och de trådlösa näten både på hotellet och konferensen fungerade hela tiden med acceptabel bandbredd. Så bra var det faktiskt, till råga på allt sken solen från en blå himmel större delen av tiden.
Drupalcon Szeged 2008 | Szeged, Hungary; August 27-30, 2008. blir min första Drupalcon. Hoppas på att knyta många kontakter, träffa folk som jag förut bara haft kontakt med via nätet och förstås lära mig mycket nytt på och utanför föreläsningarna.
To put images on Drupal sites I mainly use ImageField or my hacked version of the inline module together with ImageCache and Thickbox Imagecache can scale and crop images on the fly according to the presets you set up, a very nice module.
