Introduction: the requirements

A customer of ours wanted a website which could manage the integration of just about any external content (meaning video, audio, images, but also Google docs, slides from Slideshare and books from Scribd) in a 'Resource' content type.

As Drupal is moving to the localization server localize.drupal.org, here's a small tip that took me a little while to find, but can be very useful in the end, as it will allow you to contribute your translations back to the Drupal community more efficiently.

The problem

Let's say you install a module in your own Drupal website. However, this module is not fully translated for whatever language your website is in. You can, obviously, use Drupal's translation interface on your own website and translate from here whatever is missing.

Being a repetitive task for me, it's probably a good idea for me to write this down. Installing events and events subscription management to Drupal 6 is as easy as installing a few modules and doing a quick setup.

1. download and install the event module
2. download and install the signup module
3. enable the event module and all its sub-modules (don't check datepicker if you want to go fast, as it will require additional CSS and JS to work)
4. enable the signup module (requi

In a particular context, it happened to me to have to reproduce a cache cleaner feature for Drupal 5 without installing the Devel module. Although this article doesn't create anything new, I thought it might be worth explaining in case this would help someone someday. The idea is to re-use the code from the devel module and put it into another module for re-use without having the weight corresponding to a new module installation. The code from the devel module (devel.module) looks like this:

/** * Implementation of hook_menu(). */ function devel_menu($may_cache) { $items = array

As the beta draws closer (it should have been released last week but we had to add some last minute stuff to avoid waiting 6 months before being able to integrate them), we just happened to organise the January Drupal Perú reunion here in Lima, and...
