Lullabot: New features in Drush 3

July 1, 2010 by Steve Hanson

We love drush here - and this is a great little tutorial on how to use the newest drush 3 features effectively.

Lullabot: New features in Drush 3 - It just keeps getting better. Seriously.

So… Drush. Are you using it yet? If not get drushing!—or whatever you call it. If you're not familiar with it, Drush is a command line interface for Drupal sites. It's the bees knees, if you ask me. You can use it to enable/disable modules, run update.php, get a SQL dump of your site, and all sorts of other magically delicious things.
The problem is, it just keeps getting better. I almost can't keep up with it! The recent release of Drush 3 includes all sorts of goodies, and every day I seem to find more and more. I'm going to take a quick look at a few of them that I'm most excited about.

Review - Theming Drupal: A First Timer's Guide

April 22, 2010 by Steve Hanson

Many of you are probably familiar with the book Front End Drupal: Designing, Theming, Scripting. One of the book's authors has just released a new Ebook for the first time themer.  Emma Jane Hogbin has written a succinct Creative Commons book that is adapted from her big Front End book, but which goes into more detail about how to get started in theming. This book is a very good introduction, leading the novice themer down a gentle path of gettting a working theme while starting with a mockup in Photoshop, GIMP, or some other design tool.

The ebook covers theming concepts, building regions, using template variables, style sheets, and much more.  Although there are many different sets of documentation on theming Drupal, I don't think I have seen  another document that explains so many topics on theming in such a clear manner (and in so few words).  The book is 29 pages of dense, yet easy-to-understand text.  If you follow through the book, you will end up creating a basic theme, and more importantly you will have a pretty thorough understanding of what all those mysterious files actually do, and how you can use them to build more powerful and exotic themes yourself.
