interface

Jakie znacie metody przełączenie jezyka interfejsu na angielski, lecz pozostawienie polskiego kontentu ? Chodzi mi strikte o strony administracyjne. Pamiętam, że do drupala 4.7 była poprostu paczka z admin interfejsem angielskim lecz co z 6 ?

Walczyłem z tym http://drupal.org/project/preserve_language lecz to nie to.

Dzięki za pomoc

We have an immediate need for a drupal template designer and troubleshooter to address issues related to database website interface. Acquia marina template has been customized. Some look & feel work needed. This project in development and interface requires troubleshooting for usability. Site is active but has not been "publicly launched".

Looking for someone with flexibility and creativity who is effective in Drupal. As the project manager, I would appreciate working with a local freelancer, in Austin, TX, for some face-to-face.

Hi. This summer I wrote Drupal's Plugin Manager module. It is designed to allow users to install modules and themes directly from drupal.org using local ftp or ssh. Now, after a few releases and with another person on the project (jabapyth,) I'm starting to notice the traps that we've carefully laid out for ourselves. Thus, Jabapyth and I are planning to rewrite the UI for the module. This is where I was hoping for some help. I hope for us to create an interface that is not a headache waiting to happen.

We are looking for someone who understands Drupal theming and can rapidly create new professional-looking designs to allow us to keep our many sites up to date and fresh. The candidate should have a mastery of visual design technologies and be able to quickly translate ideas into web designs.

The ideal candidate moves easily between Photoshop and standards compliant XHTML/CSS and is able to rapidly create designs that work identically between major browser versions. Some knowledge of PHP and JQuery is required and some experience with Drupal theming is strongly desired.

As some of you know, I've recently taken over maintenance of Inline and Image Assist, and initiated the Wysiwyg project. That was not only caused by personal interest, but also to take the necessary steps to realize the long awaited Inline API. You might ask yourself, what those three modules have in common or to do with each other at all: They deal with user input, allow to embed complex contents into a content, and provide an interactive GUI for that. If you already had the chance to work with them, you already know that there is a rather hidden, non-obvious hard-dependency between them.

Although I'd really like to discuss both topics (Inline and Wysiwyg support) separately, the gained experience on these topics enforces us to discuss them concurrently. The following mockup hopefully explains why: (see attachment to view in full size)

Shneiderman's "Eight Golden Rules of Interface Design"

These rules were obtained from the text Designing the User Interface by Ben Shneiderman. Shneiderman proposed this collection of principles that are derived heuristically from experience and applicable in most interactive systems after being properly refined, extended, and interpreted.
To improve the usability of an application it is important to have a well designed interface. Shneiderman's "Eight Golden Rules of Interface Design" are a guide to good interaction design.

The idea of these new quiz results are great, it enables users to create quizzes on their sites which have a range of goals as opposed to having one goal when taking the quiz. Configuring tests to use this, is confusing, and maybe even broken. There should be an easy to define path to create quizzes with result options instead of pass fail.

At the end of a Business Innovation Factory talk, Walt Mossberg and Jason Fried (from 37 Signals) talk about Open Source Software. Video here, at approximately 3/4 from the beginning.

Here's a quick n'dirty transcript of a small part of the talk:

Okay, so the story goes like this:

1) The SPAjax module (4.7 only) has a feature that allowed you to apply (Scriptaculous) Javascript effects to Drupal messages - allowing the "fade yellow" technique, pulsating, or shaking of the message divs. I missed this on my Drupal 5 sites and wanted to implement it in JQuery. Easy, right?

2) JQuery's effects library is called Interface. I couldn't find a version of Interface that would work with JQuery 1.0.1 (the version in Drupal core).

3) In order to update the JQuery in core, you need John Resig's compat-1.0.js script which allows backwards compatibility with scripts written for JQuery 1.0.x (such as everything in Drupal core). So now we need a module to include the compat-1.0.js file.

4) Interface.js is a relatively large file ~80K. It's "parts" (individual effects) are available separately, but this only increases the possibility that two modules will include the same (or worse two different versions of the same) scripts. So... now we need a central module to include a single interface.js file on the page when needed.

So here's what we ended up with:
