DrupalCamp Lisbon 2011 Apache Solr Presentation

Today I presented Apache Solr in Drupalcamp Lisbon 2011 (Twitter #dclx11)

I'd like to share the example module I wrote to use the apache solr API more efficiently + the slides I used to support it. An example module for ApacheSolr Module does not exist yet but maybe this is a good start. Please comment on this to see if you have improvements.

Make your own Drupal knight

History

Some weeks ago I rolled in to a team that was completely new to Drupal (they came from a Java background).

A fast forward into the future

a) There is a Druplipet growing in the office right now
b) Everybody is fighting with the wonderful Drupal Knight that you can ensemble yourself!
Conclusion : Drupal is cool!

DIY (Do It Yourself)

Print out the image below and let the fun start. Maybe the people from nodeone can incorporate this Knight with the Drupal card game and make some boardgame of it ;-)

Thanks to xcafebabe and Cubecraft for the creativity and the execution!

Enjoy

Theming Specific form elements in Drupal 6 - The hard way

In a project I am working on we are trying to combine the power of a wonderful HTML compliant theme with the flexibility of drupal theme functions.

A requested output was that in specific forms the form elements should look like this :

Whenever you'd like to theme a form you could use the theming function theme_form_element(). This function works wonderful until the moment that you need to switch the theming of all the elements in a specific form.

Fun at Work

I started to work for a new company recently and they are quite new to the Drupal world.
As they say that a picture tells more than a thousand words, I'd like to show you the status of happiness inside our team!

With a bit of shame I post this video of myself trying to explain Apache Solr!

Setting up Drupal 6 with Apache Solr on Tomcat 6 and Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala)

During my last session on Drupalcamp in Barcelona I got the impression that there was a need for an updated guide on how to easily setup your own Apache Solr instance.

A look back : Drupalcamp Spain

Monday.. That day when you feel you have an empty spot somewhere that cannot be completed. You feel there is something missing! That missing thing is Drupalcamp Spain. Since Friday until Sunday afternoon the days were packed with Drupal Drupal Drupal!

Drupalcamp Spain - Barcelona

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!

New Semester, New site

After a silent period here on the blog (and also after a lot of work..) I decided to transform my simple blue blog to something more extended.

From now on you can find information about me but also alot of albums that are linked directly to my picasa storage space.
