A while ago, I wrote about how hard it is to find the right module for your Drupal distributions. It’s still a big problem that grows larger each day with dozens of Drupal modules coming out each week.
Lullabot made a DVD about ‘Understanding Drupal’. One chapter covers tips for Drupal module selection and they posted an 8-minute outtake on-line. Definately worth watching, especially if you are a beginner in the Drupal universe.
As announced earlier, we finally published the first version of our theme (or “template”) named Fruity.
Download Fruity - a Drupal admin theme
Fruity is free (GPL) and designed to be used as a admin theme specificly. Fruity is a clean and standards compliant Drupal 5 theme.
Included are some instructions to help you make the theme work the way we intended. We also recommend the use of a relatively small module (see the instructions) to make Drupal 5 use the admin theme for pages like log in, register, reset password and create/edit content. (In Drupal 6, this bit of functionality is available out-of-the-box.)
Our goal with Fruity was to have a usable and slightly better-looking alternative to Garland. It has been tested on Firefox, IE7 (not IE6), Opera, Safari and Chrome and also with popular modules like CCK and Views.
Here are some things on our wishlist for future versions:
Take it out for a spin, we’d love to hear what you think!
(We are also in the process of adding the theme to drupal.org.)
Recently, we launched Ulvenhart estate’s new website. Check it out!
Business meetings in an inspiring environment
The Ulvenhart estate covers 23 acres of forests and meadows in the southern part of the Netherlands, not far from the Belgium border and cities like Rotterdam, Antwerp and Breda. In the midst of these surroundings, you will find two atmospheric restored, monumental farm-houses which are now available for inspiring business meetings with great facilities.
For over a year now, we use Clicky web analytics for most of our clients so they can track the visitors on their sites. For us, the two big advantages of Clicky in comparison to many other web stats services have always been:
For most clients, Google Analytics is too overwhelming, and we always get very positive feedback on Clicky.
Clicky also offers iphone support
Keeping your audience involved
But probably the best thing about Clicky, is the passionate team behind it – and in particular one hardcore programmer (Sean) who does most of the fantastic improvements. Regularely, you will see a red link in the upper right corner with a new feature announcement or other improvement. The link points back to the blog where the new features are extensively explained (and users react). Great way to involve your customers in your product!
For example in the last few months support for iphone was added or just last week real time campaign and goals tracking. Nice, very nice.
A DrupalJam is an event where you can meet Drupal enthusiasts or other people who are interested in Drupal and there will be a Dutch DrupalJam just around the corner for us on friday the 31st of october!
Location: Breda, Avans Hogeschool (map).
You can find more info about the program on drupaljam.nl and there is also a thread on this topic on groups.drupal.org. There will be an introduction to Drupal for beginners and also a code sprint in the morning. We will be sponsoring the meetup and be there for the afternoon sessions. Perhaps we’ll see you there!
