Update: drunken monkey (Search API maintainer) has already updated the issue with a patch! And rightly chastised me for not doing it myself :-). This post is still a relevant example of how easy it is to alter Views (or any) plug-in behavior (I think).
Drupal sites have a life cycle. Module support shifts from one version of Drupal to the next. New solutions are identified, and old solutions are refined.
For GHSA.net, updating to D7 meant improving mobile support and implementing a cleaner, more regular presentation, and simplifying content management workflows.
This is a discussion of techniques used throughout the project, challenges, and...
I was recently in a meeting with a design agency who had to use Drupal for one of their websites and they hadn’t heard good things about it. The points they raised were common ones so I thought I would cover them here. This blog post isn’t a bash against Drupal, we are clearly huge Drupal fans!

In this tutorial I am going to show you a way you can leverage the power of the Drupal Form API to display form fields in the layout you want. To illustrate this, I will alter a form (the comment form) and arrange the Name and Subject fields in two columns.
I recently started a new development position with Blink Reaction so I needed to get somewhat serious about setting up a local Drupal development environment.

I was leaning towards making use of Vagrant for managing local development environments so I can easily switch between different projects or branches. I also believe Vagrant makes it easier to have as close a mirror to production...
I recently ported my old module Password Require, which allows password protecting any form in Drupal, to Drupal 7. This module was originally created for my presentation at the Florida Drupal Camp in 2010, as an introduction to module development.
Our second event adopted an alternative format not by design but its usefulness has us thinking it may well be the way to go!Speaker at the seond DPSX event:Mark Smitham – Cabinet Office (G-Cloud) A huge thank you… Mark, we appreciate the knowledge shared; old hats, newbies and the curious, we all took away a lot from the discussions.And the key points shared and discussed:

Quick tip: Use bash aliases to easily run multiple versions of drush at onceSunday, 12th May 2013There are times where it can be desirable to run two or more different versions of drush on one computer, or even multiple versions for one user.
For example, if you're using a server running the 1.x (stable) branch of Aegir and you attempt to upgrade from drush 4 to 5 globally all of your provision...
