The field is called field_recurring_dates and looked like this: read more http://benbuckman.net/tech/10/07/customizing-drupal-date-field-hookformalter-and-afterbuild http://digg.com/design/Drupal_is_Used_for_at_Least_of_all_Websites_Worldwide Fri, 30 Jul 2010 22:51:05 +0000 Drupal's founder Dries Buytaert said that the Drupal CMS is used in at least 1% of all websites worldwide. http://digg.com/design/Drupal_is_Used_for_at_Least_of_all_Websites_Worldwide http://www.group42.ca/the_examples_for_developers_module Fri, 30 Jul 2010 22:21:37 +0000 An example, like a picture, is worth 1000 words. Until recently Drupal programming examples existed but were spread among documentation pages, blog posts, and the Drupal CVS repository; some searching required. That changed in late 2009 with the introduction of the Examples for Developers module. Its purpose: "to provide high-quality, well-documented API examples for a broad range of Drupal core functionality". Now you can find high-quality, working Drupal 6 and 7 code examples in one place,... http://www.group42.ca/the_examples_for_developers_module http://sotak.co.uk/blog/drupal-theming-nightmares-part-2 Fri, 30 Jul 2010 20:33:50 +0000 Welcome to the second part of the Drupal theming nightmares series. Not really surprised by the feedback I've got in the previous post. Most of you were enough lucky to stumble on the same problems. While the post was focused on the theming mistakes, it raised a discussion about unfinished jobs too. So if you haven't read it, it is right here: Drupal theming nightmares part 1. That day, when I found out what I will be working with, I wasn't able to fall asleep (and it wasn't because of the... http://sotak.co.uk/blog/drupal-theming-nightmares-part-2 http://drupalhigh.onsugar.com/How-use-Apache-modrewrite-RewriteMap-directive-9626766 Fri, 30 Jul 2010 19:56:53 +0000 This is an Apache Directive that I've never had to use before, but it came in very handy for a very specific problem. There was already an apache redirect (RewriteRule + RewriteCond) in place, but the destination URL was case sensitive! That's not normally a problem, but it was for an ad server, and the variables were coming in as uppercase, but needed to be lowercase after the redirect. Bad programming on the part of the ad server in my opinion, but we're not going to let that stop us... http://drupalhigh.onsugar.com/How-use-Apache-modrewrite-RewriteMap-directive-9626766 http://acquia.com/blog/membase-and-drupal Fri, 30 Jul 2010 17:39:42 +0000 Barry and I just met with a team from Northscale -- the startup formed to support and extend Memcached, the popular key-value cache used by the largest web sites. We learned about their new database project, Membase, and talked about how it could help high-volume Drupal sites including our Acquia Hosting customers. Membase is built on the core Memcached technology and supports the Memcached API. I'm excited about what they've done to extend Memcached: Read full article » http://acquia.com/blog/membase-and-drupal http://www.lullabot.com/podcasts/podcast-87-panels-vs-context-cage-match Fri, 30 Jul 2010 17:13:15 +0000 Earl Miles and Young Hahn join Dave Burns, Jeff Eaton, and Jeff Robbins to discuss the similarities and differences between Drupal's Panels and Context modules.
