Submitted by alex on Wed, 13/02/2013 - 8:48pm

The first Australian DrupalCon was held last week in Sydney for around 400 delegates. I had the privilege of attending (in the process loosing my DrupalCon virginity!) and wanted to share some notes on my favourite sessions, as well as dish up some opinions :)

epub files with php

Submitted by alex on Wed, 02/06/2010 - 8:47pm

Note: The purpose of this post is not to go into detail about the epub standard, but to share a few tips and small hacks I came up with for dynamically creating compliant epub files in PHP. If you've come here looking for details about the epub standard, look at the end of this post for some handy reference links.

great 3rd party Drupal modules you might not have heard about

Submitted by alex on Mon, 14/12/2009 - 8:27pm

There are literally over 4500 3rd party modules for Drupal. So how does one know which modules to use? Whilst the Acquia distribution of Drupal covers all the really common, well maintained and useful 3rd party modules there are still a few other important ones that it misses out that you may not know about. So what I've done below is list these out into categories, as well as talk a bit about why they are indeed so important.

Upgrade Drupal from 5.x to 6.x

Submitted by alex on Mon, 24/08/2009 - 10:00pm

Continuing on from 'Upgrading a Drupal 4.7.x site to 5.x' below are some notes after upgrading the same install from 5.x to the latest 6.x version of Drupal. Most of what I did followed the instructions found in this screencast by greggles - watch it from start to finish, making notes where possible!

Upgrading a Drupal 4.7.x site to 5.x

Submitted by alex on Sun, 05/07/2009 - 6:34pm

I recently had the potentially very painful task of upgrading a site from a hacked up version of Drupal 4.7.2 to the latest version of 5.x. Whilst I doubt theres many D4 sites still out there, I thought I'd share my notes and tips below as the whole process was quite interesting and perhaps it can at least save someone a bit of time. (Note: on the same site, I'll be doing the D5 to D6 upgrade in the next few weeks too, so I'll do a separate post for that here).

Getting Drupal Acquia in Vanilla mode

Submitted by alex on Mon, 25/05/2009 - 9:34pm

I might be a bit behind the times here (oh, a good 9 months!), but I've finally had a chance to sit down and install Drupal Acquia - and to cut a long story short, I'm very impressed, indeed!
