The time has finally arrived for my two favorite things to join together. Starting from Friday the 26th, Drupalcamp Spain will have its lift-off and looking at the schedule it looks to be a promising weekend packed with lots of goodies and lots of new knowledge!

I will also give a Apache Solr presentation myself and it will feature a basic explanation on how to set it up, why to set it up and the future of these technologies. Practical use cases will follow and some examples as well.Read more

I finally took the time to see how CVS and drupal work together and it's not that hard actually.. It's just a very high barrier! Actually I hope to see something more user friendly in the future, I agree it's alot of work to transfer everything from cvs to bzr or something totally different (Github, SVN, *your version tool here*)Read more

Ever tried to log all your email?
People come up with the craziest ideas to log email but luckely in drupal there is a nice way to log your emails to a file in your system.

I'm currently using it only for debugging but here it goes!

ps: Don't forget to replace your_module_name with, well yeah, your module name!
Requirement : Devel module
Location of log file : /tmp/drupal_debug.txt

/**
* Implementation of hook_mail_alter().
*
* @param $message A structured array containing the message to be altered. keys in this array include: id, to, subject, body, from, headers
*/
function your_module_name_mail_alter(&$message) {

dd($message);
}

If you are developing ubercart / drupal then you need to test your creditcard checkout system. There is no better way then to do it with those 2 numbers :

Visa: 4544182174537267
Master Card: 5460506048039935

ATTENTION : These credit card numbers are not real! Looking for the security code? Just type in 3 random numbers and make sure the expiration date is greater then the current day

This weekend (19 september) there is a Software Freedom Day català here in Barcelona.
There is a session lead by Robert Garrigos (One of the leads of the Drupalcon Barcelona) himself but also Openoffice and Mozilla are represented there. I think it'll be cool!

It's in Catalan but nevertheless I'm going to check out how Drupal is represented there. Maybe I'll take some translators with me?
If someone wants to join me here?
