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 …
The Entity Translation module is the latest and greatest way to manage multilingual content in Drupal. However, no Drupal search solution currently supports the field based translation it is built on. Here’s how we solved this challenge, made field based translations searchable and came up with the brand new Search API Entity Translation module – and how we can make it even better together.
Building a mobile website is a big challenge. The upcoming Drupalcon in Denver 2012 will therefore focus on mobile development, following the motto "Collaborative publishing for every device".
At Wunderkraut we are curious and don't want to wait until next March. At Drupalcon London we caught up with Consumer Search's Director of Technology Tom Deryckere, who is maintaining several Drupal modules and has been developing mobile (Drupal) solutions since 2005.
What is the perfect strategy to build a mobile in Drupal? Here are the keypoints of our interview.
