Drupal web developers, or anyone in fact wishing to learn more about Drupal would be well served checking out the videos from the latest Drupal conference "DrupalCon DC 2009", available at the Internet Archive.
At a first glance, here are links to some of the videos that caught my attention:
Was getting irregular "500 Internal Server Error" pages on a new Drupal 6 install, running on shared hosting.
After some research it appears that the hosting company is running php5 as CGI which does not follow the PHP directives set in Drupal's .htaccess file:
Park Road Web Development specialises in the open source content management system, Drupal.
In 2008, the Weill Cornell Medical Library made a case before its administration to use Drupal, the popular open source content management system.
I'm a backend Drupal engineer with 20 years of experience. I'm currently contracted via Tag1 Consulting, working on a Drupal 11 and PHP 8+ system for a confidential Top 10 Global 500 company. I maintain Entity Inspector, a developer tool for inspecting raw entity data as JSON, and I'm a founding member of the Drupal Johannesburg User Group. This site is my home on the web, a place for my blog, my open-source work, and writing about backend engineering and where AI tools genuinely help in a developer's workflow.
Planet Drupal aggregates drupal related blog posts from a number of drupal sites and bloggers. I've only recently discovered it, but have already found some incredibly useful drupal posts here. For example, this one shows you how to allow "everyone, including “anonymous users”, to be informed of updates to nodes right inside their content", something very similar to what a client has just asked me to do.
I recently added a lot of data to a drupal site by running some scripts that I'd created in php. This was to save me the time of manually capturing the content. After successfully adding the content, when I tried to add a new content item, I got the following error: Warning: Duplicate entry '503-503' for key 1 query: INSERT INTO node (nid, vid, title, type, uid, status, created, changed, comment, promote, moderate, sticky) VALUES (503, 503, 'World Bank ', 'content_organisation', 1, 1, 1171017191, 1171017191, 2, 1, 0, 0) in It turns out that Drupal uses the sequences table to keep track of what the highest id in certain tables is. I had forgotten to update this table with the id of the most recent node that I'd added.
