Sasson means "Joy".
This drupal theme is all about bringing the joy back into drupal theming by making your work effective and smart, and your results professional and faster, faster for you to develop and faster for the end-user to browse.
Clean and simple code, lightweight structure, latest technologies, 100% open-source and the best DX (developer experience) we could think of is what we hope you will find in this new drupal base theme.

We'll quickly go over most of the main features of Sasson and see how to use them.

While Features module is one of the main building stone of any Drupal website today, it has some aspects which can drive you (and/or your client) mad.
One of it's bigest problems is that it creates a very strong link between the feature and the configuration of the website. You may say:

"Hey! that's the whole idea of Features!"

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?!

The problem:
When clicking "add more values" to add another field to a cck multi-value field, and if you're using ckeditor, the existing multi-value fields will disappear.

So, if you have cck multi-field, and must use ckeditor, here are 3 useful things to do:

1. Detach the ckeditor instances before attaching them again:

2. Set rtl / ltr:

3. In the wysiwyg module's profiles, set the css to be used to "define css" - then it will load again after ajax is run.

Linnovate is a long time known member of the global Drupal community. As such, we always preach for positive activity in the community, participation in discussions and in improving the experience of Drupal users and developers all over.
While our members are not always present in the global forums (we're more active in our localized channels in Israel/Hebrew), we do try to give back by releasing our work as open source code.

Join us in defining the roadmap and architecture of a generic Drupal app store. Linnovate will use the standard in order to build a server-client model, where independent stores will be able to provide apps to Drupal websites and cloud based services.

The past 3 weeks where insane.
Utterly insane.
If you haven't been following the news - one of Israel's biggest civil protests has been going on for more then a month.
I won't go in to the reasons and dramas behind the protest but like many protest in our region lately social-media, smartphone use and the internet are key enablers for the transparency and organization ability of the crowd.

We have been hacking with android and drupal for quite a while but we finally got a chance to give "DrupalNews" some love.
Our inspiration for updating the app was based on Johan Falk from nodeone, who built a bunch of RSS feeds which are more fitting to the new github/sandboxed era on drupal.org.
This got us back on track integrating the new feeds and rethinking the app.
As we played with the app (and reflecting on node one's kitten killers meme) we understood that we need another feed - The culture feed.

We recently had a client request to search inside user's uploaded Documents for some online tenders.
Dupal's apachesolr and apachesolr_attachments modules with Apache's solr do the work but we have an exotic language and.. exotic challenges...
When extracting text from the uploaded PDFs - the uploaded Hebrew PDF indexes the words backwards (not being aware to Right To Left text)...
