Drupal

One of the most amazing things about being involved in our Drupal community is the inherent collaborative culture this framework, as well as open-source, fosters.

Today I was honored to give the keynote at  http://2011.drupalcampct.org/ up at Yale University. Like most of my talks, this was a mind dump of thoughts have been simmering in my head for a while. Click to see a (very) brief synopsis of the talk. 

Introduction

If you are a developer building, playing and thinking in modules, then you will be comfortable with working with Object and Arrays. However if you are a designer getting deeper into the Theme layer, you might not be so hunky dory with them. Making peace with Arrays in Drupal Development goes a great way to getting to Super Ninja Themer status; below, we are going to give peace a chance. 

I really love Flashnode ! The way that it makes adding Flash to your drupal site is a no brainer. Also, the fact that you can do two essentail things with it; makes it a killer module:

1. Flash node input filter
2. Passing Flashvars to your Flash movie

Yeah you read that right!

The details surrounding this is quite complicated ... so i won't bore you with history. I will just tell you how to do it (which is all I want when I spent more hours that I can remember looking for a solution!)
