development

Since becoming a "professional" Drupal developer earlier this year one of the hardest things I have found within my team is best practices for Drupal development. When maintaining my blog or web startup all best practices go out the window. The approach taken is to SSH into the server, get all of drupal core and contrib using wget, do all main module and theme development on localhost then FTP them to the server. All other development is done using the Drupal UI on the live site, and via SSH using vi.

This weekend along with the usual food shop and grass mowing I have been working on many Drupal projects.

The first being a module called "Referrer" in version one it will create a block like the one to the right that says "Hosted on (gs) Gris-service by (mt)". This will then link to Media Temple with your referrer link. I will then develop it to allow the user to select their host in the configuration page, it will then show the relevant logo with referrer link.
