Drupal

First Round Football

This is a small contract I did in 2010. They needed a site to manage their registrations and content delivery, so I put this together for them.

Manage and deploy Drupal code securely with Git, gitosis and Capistrano

UPDATE 2: I have written a follow-up article which simply covers the branching technique described in this post.

UPDATE: I am now using git-http-backend instead of Gitosis. I made the switch because I needed a more central location for managing our projects. I have not written about it yet, but this new approach allows me to authenticate via an LDAP/Active Directory type service.

Eurotrip

This is the site that has been keeping me busy for the most part. This site is built on Drupal 5 and has a lot of custom modules. It also has built in relational scaling, but does not have the little slider widget for a user cue. There is still a lot slated for this project and it is in heavy development. I am working with a bunch of APIs and Web Services on this site and will soon be releasing a bunch of new functionality.

Syntenic

This is the company I work with. I built this site using Drupal 6 and basically designed the theme from scratch. Notice (and play with) the slider in the top right of the site. This is a technique I have been using quite a bit for making sure that sites can scale to appropriate sizes for all screen resolutions.
This site has been depreciated.

Drupal Clean Urls on Debian LAMP Stack

Clean Urls did not work out of the box for me when I installed Drupal on a fresh install of Debian. These are the easy steps for setting them up.

Enable mod_rewrite:
You need to enable the rewrite module so Apache can do the rewrite. On Debian you can issue the following command to do this.

$ a2enmod rewrite

Build it or just put it together???

If your company is looking to update your online feature set, but don't have the technical expertise to do it your self, there are a lot of new options that are tailored just for you. The price tag associated with getting a professional looking and feature complete website online has always been a major deterrent. If your company does not have a technical department up for the challenge, it can be difficult to put together a manageable solution that suits your needs and does not cost a fortune.
