Drupal Blogs, Pictures, and more on WordPress: Install Multiple Sites Under Drupal
I googled many times to get the correct procedure to install multiple sites under drupal…..
I tried many times and after so many attempts I successfully got a exact procedure to do this..
Follow the steps as it is mentioned here..
1. Open the ‘sites‘ folder under your drupal’s main installation folder..
2. Create a new folder and give a site name to it, like site2.localhost
3. Under site2.localhost folder create another folder called files.
4. Now from “./sites/defaults/” folder copy the “default.settings.php” file to the site2.localhost folder and rename it to “settings.php” .
5. Now open your Terminal and type the following commands…
sudo mysqladmin -u root -p create drusite2
Give your sudo password.. your new database with name “drusite2” will be created under phpmydmin.
Drupal Blogs, Pictures, and more on WordPress: Drupal module of the day, Administration menu
Image via Wikipedia
Administration menu, or admin_menu, is one of those modules that saves Drupal users, administrators and developers tons of hours. It renders the navigation menu on top of your page, independently of the theme. Which is really good and saves a lot of time since it makes finding the administration options very easy.
It also saves you of having to deal with the navigation block enabled on every page in case you need to access the administrative options of Drupal.
This module has a Drupal 7 pledge, and IMHO should be part of core.
Drupal Blogs, Pictures, and more on WordPress: Free online newspaper, magazine progam
One Drupal spinoff was created specifically for those who want a newspaper or magazine web site, but who want it free.
Prosepoint to the rescue. This is a free Open Source project begun by someone who decided that people who wanted such software could download it and start running it out of the box. An example of one such site is here.
There are many community newspapers and magazines across the county that don’t have a high-dollar budget to buy such software, which could run into the hundreds, or thousands, of dollars. Not only that, these organizations (and, in some case, individuals) also don’t have a lot of time learning new software, or finding a compatible theme to work with it. Once again, ProsePoint is the answer.
Drupal Blogs, Pictures, and more on WordPress: Managing multiple RSS news feeds in one package
A new community has surfaced that marries more than 30 Open Source projects with the also-free Drupal Content Management system.
The name of the program is “Managing News,” and is the spawn of “Development Seed.”
The program can interpret all kids of variation of RSS, such as RDL, Atom, XML, RSS 2.0 and OPML. The neat thing is that you can gather all your RSS feeds under one umbrella and have them available to you wherever you might be.
You can add tags for each story, create categories and save your searches to display the stories containing the search keyword(s) you use. There is also a map that shows where in the world your news stories occur, a map that you can click on and read the news from that geographical location. You can create category channels to display stories that contain a topic – such as environment, science, unemployment and others.

Usually that issue is due to the file FirefoxPortable.ini.
Drupal Blogs, Pictures, and more on WordPress: Drupal module of the day, Drush

Drush is, as the project website describes, a a command line script and shell interface for Drupal. If you are a Drupal developer pretty soon you end up using this tool. If you are a Drupal website administrator, the sooner you use it the more productive you are.
This “module” has a Drupal 7 pledge, so don’t worry about its upgrade and start using right away, that’s my advice.

Drupal Blogs, Pictures, and more on WordPress: TCANZ 2010 day 2 - Intranet publishing with Drupal
I’m attending the TCANZ Conference 2010 in Wellington, New Zealand. Chris Daish and Matthew Hunt presented a session on “intranet publishing with Drupal, an open-source content management system”. These are the notes I took during the session. All credit goes to Chris and Matthew. Any mistakes are mine.
The session was about Drupal and its use as an intranet. Drupal is a modular, open-source content management framework.
It’s an enormously versatile tool. Chris compared it to a Swiss army knife. When you implement a system on Drupal, you choose just the modules you need.
Looking at CMSes in general, at one end of the spectrum you have huge, complex, expensive CMSes. At the other end of the spectrum are things that offer really just the promise of a CMS. Drupal sits neatly in the middle. It offers flexibility as well as some useful pre-built parts.

Drupal Blogs, Pictures, and more on WordPress: What I am to! [update] and church website hosting
Things have totally changed again. I have now applied to do a Masters of Enterprise in Business at the Manchester school of business. The online material is not that great at describing it. It is a research Masters where Masters of Enterprise is the prefix, MEnt (similar to Mphys or Bsc). The degree itself is a generic business degree so the core modules will help me learn things such as marketing, setting up a business and dealing with finance. I then get to pick courses in my “Subject Area” which will be something vaguely IT based that I pick. I have to produce 2 dissertations, one of them focuses on the business side of my idea and the other on the subject side of my idea. I don’t exactly know what this means! However I think it will be something like a report on the marketability of the idea whilst the subject dissertation outlines some area of research into the idea itself.
