Nice.

Do you have any pointers for useful information on
 - fetching Drupal profiles from the outside (a PHP script not running
inside Drupal)
 - integrating new behavior and content type (the map, but also
computer shops information with ACL, etc.)

Obviously, this is to get an idea on what could be done to integrate a
Drupal driven community site with a custom map application like ours.

Drupal has lots of plugins (modules) to let you do a lot of stuff. ACL
is pretty standard, and as for maps:
http://drupal.org/project/gmap

I have been deploying some drupal for my own (professional) website and
am very pleased with all the possibilities.

Re: [Ubuntu-be] Website layout

2007-06-27 Thread Wouter Horré
I am not that familiar with the Drupal API [1], but my guess is that it should 
be possible to write a drupal module that provides an interface to the 
profile data (e.g. by outputting xml data instead of a page). This would be 
similar to the way the rss module of drupal provides an RSS interface to the 
content...

Another solution would be to access the drupal database directly and provide a 
CI model that uses the drupal database... I also think it is rather 
straightforward to reimplement the views of the map application as drupal 
modules, but this limits the reusability, off course.

Re: [Ubuntu-be] Website layout

2007-06-27 Thread mongolito404
For anyone interested, I have finished a clean separation between the
PHP back-and-frontend and the Javascript of the current map. The only
reason there is still PHP generated Javascript is i18n and site url
generation. Beside that, the Javascript code only needs an URL
returning supporters as JSON data to map them. I should soon deploy
this code on a test environment.

I start a new job next week and it's still unclear how much time I
will have left to work on the support point map. But if there is any
effort on getting an Drupal site on for Ubuntu-be,  I would happily
help to integrate/port the current (features of) map for it.

Hi all,

I would like to give my opinion on the website thing. I will not comment on 
the drupal vs ubuntu-nl thing directly. I will only give my general opinion 
on website development.

I think developing a website from scratch is not a good idea anymore these 
days. There are a lot of good content management systems available, so idealy 
a website should built on such a solid base.

To give an example: when I helped writing some code for the 
support-points-map, I had the feeling we were reimplementing functionality 
that has been implemented a thousand times before... (no offense). We were 
implementing a profile system while, for instance, Drupal has a profile 
system that can be easily extended with new fields.

For example: the User Control Center we are developing at ULYSSIS 
(https://ucc.ulyssis.org/) is completely built using Drupal modules.

Hi all,

As the main map.ubuntu-be.org developper, I totally agree with Wouter
even if it's not obvious when looking at my work and the code we
produced.

My idea as always been that someday, the code to register users and
edit their profiles will disappear and that the various models will be
used as bridge between the map code and the chosen user management
engine. When Ubuntu-be choose a web site engine/framework/whatever
with open users registration and customizable profile, I will start to
work on this integration. It has always been my goals.

at the moment, the ubuntu-be website use CMS-MS

Website engine and content are recurrent topics on this mailing. And
the conclusion is always the same, we have hosting, we have will but
we don't have anything more concrete. If you think you can do
something (new design, new site with new CMS, updated content, etc.),
don't be shy, do it and publish put it anywhere.  It doesn't have to
be big. It doesn't have to be totally awesome. It just have to be.
Even the smallest content update is welcome and needed.

Re: [Ubuntu-be] Website layout

2007-05-16 Thread Kevin Van Wilder
I checked out that CMS-MS and it looks a bit outdated. I'd really suggest
something similar like drupal. A fullfledged django site would be awesome,
but takes a lot of time and effort (approaching exams are a little more
important at this time). I already have to write a django site for a
project . I'll have a go for a nice design though, so i'll ask for some
feedback and suggestions.

First of all, the color scheme: would this be the default ubuntu.com look?
or is kubuntu also allowed? This could maybe serve for a second theme,
whatever.

If there is anything more, just let me know.

I see no problems in using the ubuntu.com ro ubuntu-nl.org style. Less
work for me, but i'd like to see how maintainable that ubuntu-nl.org site
actually is. (admin-wise i mean)



It just so happens that I have access to a few parts of the ubuntu-nl
website. I am able to edit pages and add pages through a simple Django Admin
interface, but I don't know if there are more features that are only
reserved for the head admin (Dennis Kaarsemaker).

But the website is a good starting point. And the big advantage when using
this is that you'll be able to help not only ubuntu-be but also ubuntu-nl.

2007/5/17, Jan Claeys  [EMAIL PROTECTED]:

AFAIK (I didn't look at the code), ubuntu-nl is in several places a bit

of a hack around existing bits of the previous site and the ubuntu-nl
forum?  (I really should have a look at that code though...  :) )



Well yea, the profile system uses data from the punbb database if I'm not
mistaken and punbb itself is patched too because of this, so you could say
that there are a few hacks involved, but what's the harm in that if
everything works well?

Please note that also I haven't looked at the code yet, so I don't know how
everything works under the hood, but I have yet to encounter problems with
the ubuntu-nl website.

 I also have experience with drupal, but actually more in Django and
 python. I would be glad to help Ubuntu-be.org with anything that is
 needed in this matter. 

I'll be glad to help with a site developed using Django (I've been
thinking about it before, but didn't know anybody else using Django, and
thought it wouldn't be a good idea to create a site that nobody else
could help on).

I currently also have a Django-based (Feedjack) ubuntu-be planet
test-running on my (our) server, but I still need to adapt a new-style
Ubuntu template to it.  (And request a DNS-record for
planet.ubuntu-be.org to point to it.)


For Drupal, I won't help, but I can ask some other people to help or
give advice...  ;)
