Wysiwyg CodeMirror source highlighting

drupal.org - Modules - 9 hours 6 min ago

Provides a TinyMCE plugin to provide an indented, syntax-highlighted (colorized) HTML source view. Much nicer than the built-in TinyMCE HTML source editor.

Depends on the Wysiwyg module (http://drupal.org/project/wysiwyg), CodeMirror library (http://marijn.haverbeke.nl/codemirror/) and a correctly configured TinyMCE editor (versions 3 and up).

Read INSTALL.TXT - you need to download the latest CodeMirror library before enabling the module.

A similarly named project - Wysiwyg syntaxhighlighter integration (http://drupal.org/project/wysiwyg_syntaxhl) provides syntax highlighting that will be shown to end users - i.e. code snippets in <pre> elements.

This one highlights the syntax in TinyMCE's HTML source view.

Node Auto Term NG

drupal.org - Modules - 9 hours 32 min ago

NAT-ng comes from NAT module, a helper module used to maintain node-term relationships, i.e. when a node is created a taxonomy term is created automatically using its title and body in any associated vocabularies. This module also attempts to preserve hierarchical relationships where possible.

Installation
  1. Unpack the nat_ng folder and contents in the appropriate modules directory of your Drupal installation. This is probably sites/all/modules/
  2. Enable the NAT-ng module in the administration tools.
  3. If you're not using Drupal's default administrative account, make sure "Administer NAT-ng configuration" is enabled through access control administration.
  4. Visit the NAT-ng settings page and make appropriate configurations
    For 6.x: Administer > Site configuration > NAT-ng
    For 7.x: Administer > Structure > NAT-ng

If you are moving from NAT module to NAT-ng you should rename 'nat' table to 'nat_ng' by executing this SQL query:
RENAME TABLE nat TO nat_ng;

Drupal Battles Content Management Goliaths at India's Premier Software Developer Awards

drupal.org - News and announcements - Tue, 2010-03-16 21:00

Bangalore, March 11, 2010: Content management technologies first entered the market primarily in the form a separate line-of-business (LOB) application such as a human resources portal or a dealer extranet. They were basically rolled out in response to specific business needs. The technology vendor base was categorised with the key players focusing on a niche within content management, such as document management, Web content management or digital asset management.

Slowly with time and usage, both customer and vendor organisations started realizing the value proposition that content management could bring to the table to address multiple business problems across numerous departments. Thus Enterprise Content Management (ECM) was born, serving as a platform for:

• Building multiple content- and process-centric applications
• Deploying tens to hundreds or even thousands of Web sites and portals
• Supplying content and content services to other enterprise applications, such as enterprise resource planning (ERP) and customer relationship management (CRM) systems
• Facilitating content lifecycle management

OG Mailinglist

drupal.org - Modules - Tue, 2010-03-16 16:25

Turns Drupal into a multi-group email list.

OG Mailinglist allows users to start new discussions by email and post comments on existing discussions by simply replying to emails. You get the best of both worlds: a browser-based discussion site and an email-based list.

See the INSTALL.TXT file for system requirements and prerequisites.

EXAMPLE:

Suppose you have implemented Organic Groups and have three topical groups: "Web Programming", "Technical Help", and "Politics". Users normally go to the group page and click "Create Story" to start a discussion. With this module, a user simply emails "web-programming@yourserver.com" to start a new discussion. The subject becomes the story title, and the body becomes the story body.

Using the regular Drupal notifications framework, all users in the group get an email telling them of the new discussion. These users would normally click the link to make comments. With this module, a user wanting to post a comment simply hits Reply and sends his or her comment. The reply mail also goes to the "web-programming@yourserver.com" address.

In many ways, your Drupal site becomes a mailing list manager. Users never have to visit the site to start or participate in discussions. The module automatically detects new or deleted groups and is always up to date.

DXMPP

drupal.org - Modules - Tue, 2010-03-16 15:15

DXMPP creates a themeable browser chat client for an XMPP server.

At its core, it uses the Strophe library to connect via long AJAX pulls (aka Comet) to an XMPP server. Users are automatically registered and associated w/ Drupal users, and it also automatically synchronizes User Relationships.

By default, the themeable chat sessions are displayed via JavaScript in a fixed bottom position on the page. The roster expands, and an icon (via ImageCache, if enabled) representing each user will expand a chat box next to it.

I've successfully gotten the module to integrate with ejabberd, although there are other alternatives, such as OpenFire, both licensed under GPL.

After enabling and configuring your XMPP server, you'll also need to copy the Strophe library somewhere in your /sites/all/libraries folder. The module will automatically discover its location.

Look here for more helpful links and documentation for the set-up and configuration, which can be difficult at best, especially when you're first starting out with XMPP.

You may also consider joining the Drupal XMPP group.

drupal.org - News and announcements - Tue, 2010-03-16 02:46

We, at Gurux Ltd, a Finnish Open Source software company, have been using a Drupal based web site for quite a while now. We're very pleased with the structure, looks, and versatile possibilities that Drupal offers. All the modules that we have downloaded and added to our site are great. Thank you all!

We have been looking forward to finding a way to contribute to Drupal.org, so, please, do not consider this as "just another advertisement". Since we do not have the resoucres to make the contribution as a Drupal module, this message is our way to let you know about our application, which is usable to anyone who wants to utilize his/her own Drupal statistics. Our application is Open Source, under a GPL2 license.

This project started, when planning a solution for our own company needs, but as we developed it further, it started to seem that others also could benefit from it. One of the reasons for us, to choose Drupal, was the clear statistics. As the statistics are widely used in our company, for different purposes, we decided to code an application to visualize the information that is available in the statistics of our Drupal (version 6) site. From this idea, among others, the GXDataRefinery was born.
