Case Study: www.aidshilfe.de relaunch

hsudhof — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 18:33:25 +0000

The Deutsche Aids-Hilfe (DAH) is the leading German non-governmental organization that deals with the concerns of people living with HIV/AIDS and helps raise awareness of effective HIV prevention techniques.
As the governing body for more than 120 local AIDS service organizations, it supports this work at many different levels.

The DAH website, aidshilfe.de, is one of the organization’s main communication channels. It offers information on HIV and other sexual transmitted infections and covers the field of counseling for private matters. The website also provides contact information for local self-help-centers, a broad selection of free information material, workshops, community features, etc.

Work on the aidshilfe.de project was supported by many partners. Christoph Schüßler designed the website, which was implemented in Drupal by Berlin-based Werk21. The new aidshilfe.de is a step forward toward a future-proof system that features an attractive new design, interactive features, user-friendly community functionality and great usability.

VirtueMart 1.1.5 vrijgegeven

Sander Potjer — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 18:15:00 +0000

Het is alweer even geleden (oktober 2009) dat er een update van VirtueMart is uitgebracht maar gisteren heeft het VirtueMart team versie 1.1.5 vrijgegeven. Ondanks deze ‘kleinere’ release heeft het VirtueMart team niet stilgezeten. Er wordt hard gewerkt aan de VirtueMart 1.5 versie dat volgens de Joomla MVC standaarden wordt herschreven.

Deze 1.1.5 versie is een onderhouds- en veiligheidsupdate en bevat enkele nieuwe functinaliteiten en een aantal fouten zijn opgelost. De nieuwe functionaliteiten zijn:

Herschreven PayPal betalingsmodule, aan de hand van de nieuwe PayPal API
Herschreven Merchant Warrior betalingsmodule
Diverse problemen verholpen

De nieuwe betalingsmodules zijn alleen standaard beschikbaar bij een nieuwe VirtueMart 1.1.5 installatie. Bij een update blijven de ‘oude’ betalingsmodules dus zichtbaar in de betalingslijst. Als je tevreden bent met deze modules hoef je deze niet te updaten. Mocht je wel de nieuwe betalingsmodules willen gebruiken kun je dat volgens de instructies op de VirtueMart website doen. Je zult de modules dan wel opnieuw moeten instellen.

De Nederlandstalige vertaling van VirtueMart 1.1.5 en het door ons samengestelde E-commerce pakket (direct Joomla en VirtueMart installeren) zullen binnenkort in onze VirtueMart downloadsectie beschikbaar komen.

Joomla 1.6 Beta 6 is vrijgegeven

Sander Potjer — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 19:55:00 +0000

Het Joomla project heeft zojuist Joomla 1.6 Beta 6 vrijgegeven. Zoals beloofd twee weken na de vrijgave van Beta 5. Sinds de beta 5 vrijgave op 13 juli zijn er zo’n 98 problemen verholpen. De aanpassingen zijn terug te vinden in het bestand installation/CHANGELOG. Veel van deze verbeteringen zijn te danken aan de Joomla Bug Squad.

De volgende beta versie staat gepland voor 9 augustus. Zoals we in het artikel “Op weg naar Joomla! 1.6 stable” beschreven zal er om de twee weken een nieuwe beta versie verschijnen totdat Joomla 1.6 stabiel genoeg is voor de eeste release candidate.

Joomla 1.6 Beta 6 is te downloaden op JoomlaCode. Op ons forum kan je met andere gebruikers je ervaringen over Joomla 1.6 beta delen.

Let op: Een Joomla beta versie is niet bedoeld en geschikt voor gebruik op live websites maar wordt door Joomla vrijgegeven zodat je de nieuwe software kunt testen. Installeer Joomla 1.6 beta daarom op je lokale omgeving en zeker niet op de server van je webhoster in verband met de veiligheid. In onze documentatie staat een artikel over het opzetten van een lokale testomgeving.

Ticket Cake – An Event Ticketing Website

joehenriod — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 13:43:13 +0000

TicketCake.com is an event ticketing and promotion start-up that recently launched using Drupal as its framework. The website features an innovative design by White Label Graphics which balances functionality and simplicity.

Because Drupal has many ways to display dynamic content, finding the right way to implement a design can be a problem in itself. To overcome this obstacle, the Ticket Cake team focused a significant amount of time creating wireframes for the project.

Drupal’s unique ability to display content in various ways made the process of developing wireframes a constant back and forth. With each iteration, the team updated price quotes, layouts, and site flow.

“Throughout the construction of the wireframes, we always looked to a keep it simple philosophy that ended up being vital,” said Joe Henriod, head of the Ticket Cake business development team. “Measure twice, cut once.”

Case Study: Grandiflora

cossovich — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 07:53:08 +0000

Grandiflora is a boutique florist based in Sydney, Australia. Although you might not have heard of them before, you’ve probably seen their work in the pages of Vogue, Harpers Bazaar and many other fashion magazines. They’ve also created the floral design for many celebrity weddings and events in the Australia’s premier harbour city.

Recently Grandiflora were interested in updating their identity and marketing (including their website), so they tasked the team at House of Laudanum to create a custom online shopping experience to sell their products online. The previous website was a custom CMS written in Perl and while it did have some e-commerce facilities, it required updating to be a more integrated shopping solution.

Why was Drupal chosen for the project?

Although WordPress was considered early on in the decision making process, the team chose Drupal mainly because of the Ubercart module and some other contributed modules which laid the foundation for the integrated payment solution required for the project.

Safari in Africa Free Joomla Theme
Author : http://www.themza.com
Description : The 2010 FIFA World Cup tournament in South Africa may have ended, but the black continent still remains one of the top tourist destinations and certainly ranks amongst the most attractive and outlandish places one can possibly visit, thanks to its vastly diverse ecosystem and unique flora and fauna. ThemZa has released the Safari in Africa Joomla 1.5 template, which will help you set up an exotic travel agency website or an online personal holiday trip diary where you can share stories about your overland journeys and expeditions. It includes a twin-column main content area surrounded by left and right sidebars, plus a quick JavaScript-based navigation bar atop a site-wide banner area depicting an elephant herd against a savannah sunset background. The template supports 3 color schemes (orange, green, blue), 4 logo image variations (a silhouette of Africa, a giraffe, an elephant and a monkey) and a predefined bottom area for placing attractive links.

DrupalCon Copenhagen: Initial program

wulff — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 14:42:39 +0000

After reviewing 240 sessions submitted for the conference, the track chairs, the Copenhagen team and the Drupal Association are proud to present the DrupalCon Copenhagen program.

The total of 94 sessions is made up of 83 regular sessions, 6 platinum sponsor sessions, 3 keynotes and 2 rounds of lightning talks.

The session selection accounts for many factors including attendee votes, addressing the breadth of interests of DrupalCon attendees, and providing a balanced and compelling program. For example, some sessions were picked because they were essential for introducing new developers to Drupal, other sessions were selected because they present important local Drupal business cases, etc.

If you proposed a session that didn’t make it into the program, please consider presenting it at the Unconference on August 23rd or run it as a Birds of a Feather session. We will be adding more information about these options to the website in the coming weeks.

You can either see the sessions selected for each track below, or take a look at the program overview. Please bear in mind that this is not the final program and that sessions are likely to be moved around as we refine it.
