How to setup an organized development environment

Hi,

i use Drupal for a long time as a pure CMS, but i'm willing to use in "real" development, implementing more complex systems, so i'm wondering how do Drupal developers organize the versioning of modules code. I used to develop with Java, where i had Maven and some other tools to "modularize" the project, but i hadn't a system around, so i'm a bit confused.

Drupal Dev Environment Virtual Machine. Install notes and scripts.

Hi,

Imagine being able to teach someone to review/create patches, without having to teach them to setup a LAMP development environment.
Imagine windows and mac users, friends, learning together to do (blank) with a virtual machine development environment.

I created a virtualbox Drupal development image. I wanted a simple platform to collaborate with several others on for a project. I thought others might benefit from the work.

Features include:
- Slim lightweight image (OS+tools are under 1gig)
- LAMP with APC
- Netbeans and Eclipse with debugging

PHP Drupal/Textmate Developer | Freelance Gig

Employment type: 
Contract
Telecommute: 
Allowed

I'd like to hire someone to write a Texmate command that could "read" the .info, .install, and .module files in a Drupal module and extract the relevant Drupal specific information from them. (input a module folder and output an HTML document) I have an outline of exactly what I would like to read from the files, and how to display the data. There are existing "documentation" tools available, but they are all "function" based, and not "module" based. I want to see "at a glance" (and present to non techies) what tables, menus, hooks, blocks, node types, API functions, ect...

Drupal support in Aptana

Hi folks

I found out that Aptana (arguably the best PHP/JS IDE) will be adding Drupal support to Aptana. I thought this would be a good opportunity for us to get some ideas in to them. (Aptana is a web-specific IDE based on Eclipse, perfect for PHP/JS/AJAX apps)

Firstly I would like to see 'Drupal Project' as a Project Type. When you select this as a project type, the IDE will scan the project and create a Drupal Outline panel with a TreeView - similar to the Outline panel but Drupal-specific.

The TreeView would have branches like this:

My Project
- Modules
- Hooks
- Themes

Time to upgrade: Eclipse PDT 2.1 based on Galileo is out

Eclipse PDT 2.1 is based on Eclipse 3.5 (Galileo release). That release also includes Mylyn, a tool that helps you organize the to do list in conjunction with the bug reports in Trac and other bug tracking tools. I've never tried it before, but it sounds very interesting.

New all-in-one packages now include one for 64bit Linux and one for Mac OS X Cocoa.

With a new version comes also the question of upgrading. This post intends to share one potential way to do the upgrade.

Drupal all-in-one install

An installer that provides a completely configured Web server, database engine, IDE, and Drupal site would help new developers get started more quickly and encourage more users to contribute to development. The goal of this page is to design a trouble-free, cross-platform installer.

Three IDEs support all the features of Drupal: NetBeans, Eclipse PDT, and Aptana. PostgreSQL for Windows includes Application Stack Builder, which can install and configure Apache and Drupal.

Drupal API extension for Dreamweaver

XTND.US releases early preview download of their Drupal API extension for Dreamweaver. Reduce typing and get past plain text editing of Drupal files in Dreamweaver. If you are into Drupal and use, or want to use, Dreamweaver then you really need this extension. Let us save you tons of time by reducing keystrokes with our Drupal API code hints integration for Dreamweaver (API versions 5 & 6). The extension provides code hints and code coloring for every Drupal API method in Drupal 5 & 6.

Not only does it provide full Drupal API code hints (5.x & 6.x) in PHP files, but it also adds support for common Drupal file types, like .module, .theme, .info, .tal, etc., provides code coloring and code hints while editing those file types, treating them similar to common PHP pages. No more tweaking Dreamweaver's configuration manually, just download this free extension and makes Dreamweaver more useful when working on Drupal modules and themes.

View a demo video or download the extension at http://xtnd.us/dreamweaver/drupalapi.

PHP Drupal bundle for Textmate added to Macromates SVN

We finally did it. I submitted a PHP Drupal for Textmate and it is now listed at http://macromates.com/svn/Bundles/trunk/Review/Bundles/. The bundle primarily consists of work by kkaefer. I've also added bits that have been posted by others over time.

To install, see the Bundles page of the macromates wiki.

Lets improve the bundle. This group is the right place for general discussion about it (Textmate specific RSS feed). I created a Textmate project at drupal.org for discussing patches, bug reports, feature requests.

As for next steps with Macromates - here is the reply from Michael Sheets ....

I've added the PHP Drupal bundle to the review directory. The next step is get feedback from the community on the bundle before it's inclusion in the main Bundles directory in the repository. Generally these will be posted to the tm-dev list, some of the core bundle contributors may give their comments in the form of a comments.markdown document in the root of the bundle as to easily track the comments.

After a suitable amount of time and any issues have been addressed the bundle can be promoted to the main Bundles directory.

Sorry you thought the need the justify the bundle, we've got room for any languages no matter how small or big. As long as someone writes it we'll add it to the repository. I'll be adding some review comments when I can, until then keep up the good work.

Need from you the subversion username you'd like so I can setup a account for you to update the bundle.

Thanks for your contribution!
