Intoducting To Mongo Db And Integrating It With Drupal 7 For Examiner Com

[LESS INFO] 51 VIEWS | ADDED 19:06:02 08/08/11
MongoDB -- from "humongous" -- is an open source, non-relational, document-oriented database, supported in Drupal 7. The goal of MongoDB is to bridge the gap between key-value stores (which are fast and highly scalable) and traditional RDBMS systems (which provide rich queries and deep functionality). Nosh Petigara of 10gen, the company that develops and supports MongoDB, will introduce the basic functionality of MongoDB and common deployment strategies. Following this introduction, Doug Green of Examiner.com, a top 100 North American website, will talk about how Examiner.com pioneered the use of MongoDB and Drupal to serve millions of dynamic pages (no page caching) every day. This session will teach you how and why you should use several new MongoDB-based modules created by Examiner.com to speed up your site. We'll cover using MongoDB field storage to read and write complete documents in a single query, using MongoDB watchdog to store application logs with counts and automated rollover at virtually no system cost, using MongoDB block for sites with many blocks and complicated visibility rules, and using MongoDB sessions and queues because these are extremely fast. Learn how to query using Field API or directly in MongoDB and how to write great NoSQL queries and create indexes.

Building Dynamic Mashups With Views 3 0 In Drupal Gardens

[LESS INFO] 7 VIEWS | ADDED 20:24:37 06/30/11
The Views module is undoubtedly one of the most powerful tools in a Drupal site-builder’s arsenal. It empowers the user with a smart query builder which can be used to build lists of content, users, taxonomy terms and more on a Drupal site - displaying them in ways only limited by the imagination of the site owner. Views can turn a Drupal Gardens site from a simple blog or brochure site into a content rich, dynamic experience. In this one hour webinar, you’ll learn what Views is, what the Views UI is, how to use Views to create content mashups on a Drupal Gardens site, how to create pages, blocks and RSS feeds easily, how to theme views with Drupal Gardens' ThemeBuilder.

In this Drupal video tutorial, we continue on with developing a related node queue that was started in Tutorial 1. We check to see how many nodes are returned with the same taxonomy terms and if it is less than 5, we run another query for nodes of the same content type. This video is about 19 minutes in length and I apologize in advance, but the PIP video goes a little off half way through. Rest of the video is fine though.

Drupal Module Development: Creating a Related Nodes Block Tutorial 1 of 2

[LESS INFO] 19 VIEWS | ADDED 06:26:08 11/14/10
In this Drupal Video Tutorial, we take a look at custom module development. With our module, we create a block that will list other related nodes based on the taxonomy terms of the node being viewed. In this tutorial, we'll look at how to call hook_block, how to manage the $op variable, querying the database and returning a value to our block. While this is easily done with the Views module, we'll this a step further in Tutorial #2 and ensure we get 5 random results and if 5 aren't available, we'll populate the list with additional nodes based on the content type we are viewing. This tutorial is about 34 minutes in length and I apologize in advance for the sound quality.

In this Drupal video tutorial, I show you how to override the Drupal Simplenews subscription block to remove the old school save button (which we overrode in tutorial 1 to say "Subscribe") and replace it with an image button. We also add some javascript to the Simplenews subscription block to autofill the input form with the word "Subscribe..."

Simplenews Subscription Block Override - Tutorial 1 of 2

[LESS INFO] 103 VIEWS | ADDED 18:58:16 10/31/10
In this Drupal Video Tutorial, we look at the Simplenews module and create a custom module to override the Simplenews subscription block. Using hook_form_alter, we rename the Simplenews save button and remove the Simplenews radio buttons for subscribe and unsubscribe. This tutorial could also be considered a basic Drupal module development tutorial as we call hook_form_alter via a custom module. When viewing this tutorial, I assume you familiar with Simplenews and have the module already installed and Simplenews subscription block enabled. In tutorial 2 for Simplenews Subscription Block Override, we replace the "save" button with an image button and introduce some jquery to our custom module so that the Simplenews subscription form fields is prepopulated with "Subscribe..." which disappears when a user clicks on the form field.

In this screencast, Acquia's Brian House goes over Acquia Search. We start out with an overview of Acquia, providing commercial support for drupal in addition to products and services like search. And then we quickly jump into the meat of the demo, the search service that Acquia offers around drupal. Bryan demonstrates the faceted searches and other "blocks" that help supplement and narrow down the raw search results. Through these browsing features, Bryan points out, site owners can do a better job of exposing the content they have, potentially driving in more traffic and usage. I ask Bryan what types of web sites this search applies to, public only, or private behind the firewall drupal installs? This discussion prompts me to ask Bryan about the use of drupal behind-the-firewall they're seeing.In the second part, we get into the administration tool where facets, blocks, and other search configuration takes place. Here, we go over the basic configuration of search, but then get into the settings for weighting taxonomies, creating the "did you mean" configurations, and placing the related blocks in the site.Finally, we wrap up by seeing how all of this works on a real site, Bryan's own site, The Beer Observer.Disclosure: Acquia sponsored this video.
