Menu authoring in Drupal is cumbersome for many editors. We just released the Content Menu module that improves menu management in Drupal for editorial sites, by better connecting menu management and content authoring. How did we do this – and why?
Wait, doesn't Ctools already provide a node plugin that lets you put existing content into panels?
Yes, but placing content with the panels interface is cumbersome for editors. When it comes to selecting, creating and placing node content in panel layouts in an easy yet sophisticated way, the regular panels interface falls short.
Search technology like Apache Solr and Search API can do so much more than just search pages. Join us in using them to build advanced content listings in a much more interesting way than traditionally, and see how far you can get with a combination of proven contrib modules, clean customization and theming.
Sometimes the unexpected happens at the worst moment. Less than two weeks ago, when everyone in the DrupalCon Munich team had their plates full with tasks for the upcoming announcements in Denver, we realized that the registration forms on association.drupal.org would not meet our needs. This is the story of how we managed to leverage the strength of our community to solve our problem in style.
A few weeks ago, we received two very heavy boxes. Guess what it was? Beer coasters, lots of them, 7500 to be precise (although we didn't count them individually).
One of the things that make DrupalCon such a unique conference is the opportunity to contribute to the Drupal project by working face to face with some of the best developers and all around Drupal wizards in the world. No need to say that this is a fantastic learning experience. At Wunderkraut, we highly value such active participation in the community.
This is why we decided to become sponsors for both the Contributor Lounge and Contribution Sprint at DrupalCon Munich.
When managing Drupal content in multiple languages with the Entity Translation module, there's no way yet to filter content listings and views by the display language. See how we solved this problem for views queries, and benefit from the solution by using the Entity Translation Filter module.
Facet API is a great tool for building facetted search solutions working on several search modules for Drupal. We’d like to share with you how you can extend it with custom plugins, how we did exactly that and introduced the brand new Facet API Bonus module as a place for all those small and useful plugins that may be out there …
After the success of i18n (internationalization) code sprints in Berlin and Montreal, the next one is coming to Zurich this week. This time the focus will be on administration interfaces and translation workflows for Drupal 7.
Most of the projects we build at Wunderkraut are at least bilingual. Dealing with all aspects of translation is part of our daily work, so it makes sense for us to participate again.
We’re rushing head-on into 2012 – perhaps it’s time to take a few seconds and look back to 2011. What a year! The last twelve months had been really exciting for us:
We founded Wunderkraut, transitioned to being entrepreneurs, and extended our select team of Drupal experts. We also expanded business from Germany into several other European countries and the US.
Wunderkraut helped our customers (including big marketing and web agencies, as well as European and American Drupal shops), with:
