In a recently released site we were able to help content editors see the evils of WYSIWYG and the benefits of Markdown. Yeah! This was a big win.

Today I had a staff member who was create a new page in the Drupal implementation and could not get the bullet syntax of Markdown to render real bullets in the content body. Scratched my head a few times and created a test page.

Some of you may already be on the bandwagon but as usual, I’m late to the party. Thanks to beeradb who showed me today the node for Drupal 7 referring to the refactoring of node rendering in Drupal 7. BTW, this is no small task since most of Drupal is about the node. Now in Drupal 7 we will hopefully see more emphasis on fields which is great for us data folks. ;)

Since I was not able to make it to DrupalCon Boston 2008 I am trying to find the next best thing. So… as I come across links to presentation slides, audio, video, etc… I am posting them on this page

I’ll keep updating it as I find them and perhaps it can be a resource for you also.

Cheers.

First, a big round of thanks and applause for the scores of folks who played a part in making Drupal 6 a reality and such an improvement to the design, architecture and usability.

Ran across this one today. Upgrading a site with some custom work from 4.7 to 5.6. Obviously the testing of the upgrade is going on is a development environment but we ran into a problem with anonymous users being denied access.

Well, a quick check of the access control records proved that anonymous users did in fact have the Access Content permission. Hmmmm…. what else could it be.

This tip is handy if you have a need to specify a new frontpage node on your Drupal site and cannot get into the admin pages to change it. You can specify a number of configuration items in the settings.php file for your site.

In this case your are going to set the frontpage configuration. Near the bottom of your settings.php file is a section that is commented our by default for overriding configuration settings. Just add the following code below and change ‘node/1’ to whatever node you want for your new frontpage.
