The Mapping kit is a collection of modules to support custom mapping. Some demos can be seen at http://aardbodem.nl/?q=node/26 (or http://87.230.12.240/?q=node/26).

* An Inline maps filter is defined to mix maps with other content. These maps can be shown using OpenLayers (default), or Flash.
* Adds content types: map context, web mapping service, map layer, map file, and geodata. A Map context defines the extent of a map and which layers to show in it. Map contexts can be selected to use for editing the location of a user or a content node.
* By default, it uses the hosted version of the OpenLayers library to display maps. OpenLayers is extended to provide better support for web map contexts, meaning legend urls, titles, and a queryable option. The OpenLayers multi-language support is provided via Drupal.
* Google Maps, OpenStreetMap, OpenAerialMap, Virtual Earth, and Yahoo can be used as baselayers.
* Overlays of GeoRSS feeds and GPS tracks.
* Adds GeoRSS feed of site users.
* Editing of (UMN Mapserver) map files is supported but only in a limited way.
* Map layers can be linked to a vocabulary after which taxonomy feeds can be used to add layers to a map.

A development release is available so not to be used in a production site. Note that most development is done using Drupal on PostgreSQL/PostGIS.

Keywords: geodata, mapserver, openlayers, postgis, postgresql, wms.

Mapping Kit

The Mapping Kit is a collection of modules to support custom mapping for a Drupal CMS. Demo's can be found at http://aardbodem.nl/node/26.

An important concept for mapping is the map context to specify the map's extent and projection, and the layers to include. The OpenLayers map context is extended to include map title, and legend and queryability of a layer. Locations of users and nodes can be entered in any map projection.

Map layers which are linked to a taxonomy can be dynamically added to a map.

Google Maps and Virtual Earth can be used as base layers but limit your choice of map projections; they only support lat/lon (EPSG:4326) and transpherical mercator (EPSG:900913).

Most functionality of these modules can be used with both MySQL and PostgreSQL/PostGIS; in case a PostgreSQL database is used for your Drupal site, the Mapping Kit can be used to import data from zipped shapefiles.

This kit can be described by these keywords: geodata, mapserver, openlayers, postgis, postgresql, wms.

This module delivers support for the Mapstraction javascript library, which provides an abstraction layer for the various map providers including Google, Yahoo!, and MapQuest. It allows you to quickly display maps on your site from multiple providers and switch between providers without worrying about differences in their APIs.

The module provides a style for the Views. When the style is used, it will display nodes as points on a map. The latitude/longitude points can be provided by any view field including CCK float fields or Location module fields.

Supported mapping providers include:

* Google Maps
* Map24
* MultiMap
* OpenSpace
* ViaMichelin
* Yahoo Maps
* MapQuest
* Microsoft Virtual Earth
* OpenLayers
* FreeEarth
* CloudMade (via OpenLayers)

Geobrowser is a module for browsing drupal's spatial information. It provides a google maps powered interactive viewer for location enabled nodes.

An example implementation of the geobrowser module can be seen on http://mapping.uvic.ca

Features Include

* Scalability to thousands of nodes
* Custom icons based on node taxonomy
* Layers (based on taxonomy) that can be turned on and off by the user as they browse the map.
* Hierarchical (nested) layers.
* Support for multiple simultaneous vocabularies (meta-layers).
* Icon viewing priority via fivestar module. When the map would normally clutter, geobrowser prioritizes certain nodes for viewing and only shows lower priority nodes when the user zooms in.

The GMap module provides an interface to the Google Maps API within Drupal. It integrates with the Location module to provide users a clickable map for entering latitude and longitude, as well as to display maps of Drupal nodes and users. GMap can be used to create interactive maps with various map markers and content in map bubbles, taking advantage of Drupal's other content management features. The module also provides a Views display plugin which allows users to display the results of a view on a Google map.

The GMap package consists of the following modules:

* GMap: provides the GMap API, integration with Views and Location, and GMap macros.
* GMap Location: Provides a map of all a site's nodes and a map of all of the site users.
* GMap Taxonomy: Allows you to display different map markers based on taxonomy of a specific node.
* GMap Macro Builder: Provides a GUI for building "macros" (a text-based way of describing arbitrary GMaps).

In order to use this module, you need a (free) Google Maps API key.

Drupal is a "state of the art" content management system with extensive support for running multilingual websites.

As such a powerful and flexible system, Drupal sites require careful and detailed configuration. One of the more complicated parts of this configuration is its multilingual system.

We'll show you how to setup and run multilingual Drupal sites, starting with correct configuration and continuing with content management tips. We'll cover:

* Theme localization
* Content translation
* Multilingual navigation
* Multilingual visitor contact

I've been painfully aware that the formatting of the HTML output of the Drupal sites we've been building are not up to the high standards we set for ourselves here at Freestyle Systems. The pages do validate against XHTML 1.0 Strict but Drupal doesn't make it easy for the developer to format the final HTML code that's output to the browser in a neat and tidy fashion.

The Frequently Asked Questions (faq) module allows users with the 'administer faq' permission to create question and answer pairs which they want displayed on the 'faq' page. The 'faq' page is automatically generated from the FAQ nodes configured. There are a few features available in the 6.x branch which are not available in 5.x. The 5.x branch is now only receiving bug fixes. All new features will be done for Drupal 6.x.

The Login Toboggan module offers several modifications of the Drupal login system in an external module by offering the following features and usability improvements:

1. Allow users to login using either their username OR their e-mail address.
2. Allow users to login immediately.
3. Provide a login form on Access Denied pages for non-logged-in (anonymous) users.
4. The module provides two login block options: One uses JavaScript to display the form within the block immediately upon clicking "log in". The other brings the user to a separate page, but returns the user to their original page upon login.
5. Customize the registration form with two e-mail fields to ensure accuracy.
6. Optionally redirect the user to a specific page when using the 'immediate login' feature.
7. Optionally redirect the user to a specific page upon validation of their e-mail address.
8. Optionally display a user message indicating a successful login.

Some comments I received for my post about coming to terms with Drupal requested a list of Modules that I trust. I considered several approaches, including starting a database of modules with my reviews. I decided against that--I would hate to sound authoritative on which Drupal modules are good and which are bad because I haven't used so many of them, so I'm just going to discuss my experience with some common modules and hope that it helps. This is absolutely just my subjective opinion having run these modules for over a year on Observer.com and Politicker.com. I will vouch for these modules to the extent they will only ruin your life if you use them badly. Of course, your mileage may vary wildly, and if you're running or starting a site of any scale, please don't just take my word for it.

This module provides an powerful interface for managing a taxonomy vocabulary. A vocabulary gets displayed in a dynamic tree view, where parent terms can be expanded to list their nested child terms or can be collapsed.

The Taxonomy Manager supports operations like:

* mass deleting
* mass adding of new terms
* moving of terms in hierarchies
* merging of terms
* fast weight changing with up and down arrows (and AJAX saving)
* AJAX powered term editing form
* simple search interface
* CSV Export of terms

For using the Taxonomy Manager you should have JavaScript and automatically load of images enabled in your browser.

I keep all my Drupal sites up-to-date by updating a single Drupal core instance and one install profile. And I keep Drupal core and all modules in this install profile updated through CVS. But then a problem poses: what if a file was added to or removed from CVS? Until now, you'd have to manually svn add or svn rm the file. And in the case of some modules (e.g. Views), that's a lot of files you'll have to check.

Ik vroeg me af:
hoe gaan jullie om met onderhoud nadat een site is opgeleverd naar de klant?
Wordt er bv. sowieso steeds een jaarlijks onderhoudscontract afgesloten om Drupal en modules up-to-date te houden? Voor vele klanten is dit technisch een stap te ver om zelf uit te voeren, en als het niet gedaan wordt krijg een een Drupal installatie met verouderde modules, bugs,...

Opinies/ideeën zijn welkom.

Now that I have been a full-time Drupal Developer for a couple of years, and a part-time Drupal developer for a year before that, I am beginning to recognize recurring patterns and problems in Drupal projects and people's experiences with Drupal. This is a report on my experiences, and a summary of learned lessons and recommendations for those entertaining the idea of a financially-driven Drupal project.

I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that I was looking into a way of converting my static page with published papers, articles and presentations in a more dynamic page where I could create RSS feeds from the updates and feed them into another site for everybody to use.

Some people suggested that I'd have a look at CCK & Views for this. While up till now when creating an app I had usually written my own Drupal module with my own database schema and manually written SQL Queries. This indeed looked like the perfect opportunity to dig into the CCK and Views thingie.

It was a funny week when it comes to squashing bugs in a few projects I'm involved with. Less is more and this is also true when it comes to debugging I guess, always look in common places if you encouter strange things. So here's a small list I'm really going to add on my checklist of debugging tips:
