Drupal apps are the latest hype in the Drupal community, and Drupal app stores will be next. Linnovate has taken the task of developing the first generation of app stores for Drupal. This article covers one of the fundamental dilemmas with regards to app stores: How is it at all possible?!
One of our favorite client that we are very proud of, and we accompanied from our early days, is www.MachsomWatch.org.
Lately we upgraded it from drupal 5.x to drupal 6.x and dressed it with a new beautiful design by Inbal Mizrach. As long with the design, an extreme UI process was made, what made us actually build, almost the entire site from scratch, over the existing content. One of the interesting challenge was to combine the checkpoints content with the daily reports from checkpoints.
Good content brings good comments with it, and good comments improve the post they are related to, so in a site where users are rewarded for their ideas and contribution, it is just a matter of fairness to let the commenters of a good post to be rewarded as well.
In our ideas management system, we want to grant points to each comment author when the post is tagged with a specific term. So far this is impossible with Rules .
In our example, we'll try to grant 1 point when the post is tagged as “Under review”, and 2 points when the post is tagged as “Launched”.
One of the classical challenges when working with maps is - How to set a map with two content layers, each with it's own markers color ( with no code involved ).
We'll use the OpenLayers module that bringing the OpenLayers JavaScript library into Drupal.
Although it's most convenient to work with, settings are not always trivial and can be a bit confusing at the beginning. We'll try to go over the settings process and pass through all obstacles.
Drupal core - Drupal 6.x
Modules – Content Construction Kit (CCK), Views, OpenLayers
