What is your Drupal workflow?

Submitted by timmillwood on Fri, 09/16/2011 - 16:54

Since working for Acquia I interact with dozens of different client every day, and even though most use the Acquia Managed Cloud or Acquia DevCloud environments there are varying development methods and workflows used. I thought I would blog about my preferred workflow, then you can tell me about your.

So, this site is Drupal 7, hosted with Acquia Managed Cloud. All of my code is version controlled via git.

My views on the Drupal Statistics module

Submitted by timmillwood on Sun, 08/28/2011 - 22:44

Back in January I opened an issue "Remove Statistics module from D8 core", this was around the same time I was working on Project Verity. We wanted a page where the content creator can go and see site statistics, latests content, latest comments etc. It was soon found that relying on the statistics module in Drupal Core was not the best way forward for this so we started working with the Google Analytics API, although this is another story.

It's that time of year again, time to vote in the .net awards.

Each year .net magazine holds awards for the international web industry. It starts by asking for nominations, these nominations all get collated and are then opened up for public voting. Once the votes have all been counted the top three in each category are revealed, and a group of many judges vote on the winners.

Leaving the Boulton’s, joining the Acquian's

Submitted by timmillwood on Mon, 02/21/2011 - 08:19

Last week I handed in my one months notice to leave Mark Boulton Design, because I have been offered an exciting role at Acquia.

Over the past two years I have been working for Mark Boulton Design. I started as their first web developer to work on the flurry of Drupal projects that started to come in after the Drupal.org redesign project. I was also starting right in the middle of the D7UX project which gave me a chance to discuss many Drupalisms with Mark and Leisa.

Blog comments 2.0

Submitted by timmillwood on Fri, 02/18/2011 - 08:29

The world of blogging hasn't really changed over the last few years, and web users are blogging just as much as they always have. One thing that seems to have changed is comments.

A few years ago Disqus was started, this spawned a little change in commenting. Disqus centralised all comments off the blog and allowed visitors to log in to comment using services such as facebook and twitter.
