I'm attending a Drupal class with Growing Venture Solutions in Denver for the next 3 Saturdays. Since I already have this lovely site, I'm all installed, but I just updated all my modules and upgraded to Drupal 6.8.

I'm looking forward to this class!

We've been working on our first Drupal project at work. It's a Kiosk for the Penrose library that contains local and tourist information.

To sum up, I had to figure out how to list a large group of websites by category and have the categories return only URLs when selected. This is simple to do using SQL and VBScript, but not quite as simple in Drupal.

I used Taxonomy, CCK, Menus, Pages, and Views to accomplish this. For a more detailed explanation, check out my VirgiBlog entries on the subject.

My issue with Admin Role has been addressed at drupal.org. I applied the fix and it worked! The only problem is, the user that fixed the problem wants me to apply it to a new release of the module. However, apparently I need CVS access to the module to create a new release for it. Whew, dodged that bullet.

I just upgraded to Drupal 6.6. I'm getting better and better at this. However, I do owe myself 5 bucks.

Yes, I forgot to re-enable the admin portion of the Navigation menu before I disabled the admin_menu module. However, I learned you don't have to re-enable it as a menu, just click on the "offline mode" message link and go to 'administration' in the breadcrumb and you are there.

I've been reading about website performance and have altered bandwidth and block caching settings per the instructions on pg 295-6 of Drupal 6 book. I also enabled and configured the Throttle module per instructions on pg 297-8, including enabling Throttle on the Who's New and VirgiBlog blocks.

The author suggested the following information for optimizing server performance:

I'm documenting this in case we need it for the new server.

I enabled the Content Translation module, which allows the person entering content to translate it into different languages. Mind you, it doesn't translate for you, you have to create the content in the proper language yourself.
