How to create a robust image gallery in Drupal

A very good tutorial for learning both basics and advanced features of Drupal. It's Drupal 5, but I was able to follow along in D6 fairly easily.

I wish I had seen this a long time ago. Thank you Lullabot.

This screencast by Lullabot is a fantastic overview of using Drupal with Views and Fivestar to show pages of rated content - a must for any site reviewing products or services. It's also a great learning aid for Views 2.

Accessing variables within Drupal's $content

Wish I found this post earlier as well. If you need to control Drupal's variables in a way that's more granular than $content can provide, Jody Hamilton has a great post on how to do this.

How to create an animated .png

Posted Wed, 02/11/2009 - 21:45 by jnoyes

I know, I know. .png format is barely accecpted in today's browsers. Don't remind me. I also know there are some hacks to force browsers to do what they should do natively. Aside from that issue, I found this new firefox add-on that allows you to create animaged .pngs. This will replace the animated.gif's. Quite cool, check it out.

I love sites that teach by scenarios. Stephen's done a great job here at showing you how to build online communities. He gives a step by step view of installing and configuring Drupal.
