Drupal 7: My Website Updates

Thursday, June 30, 2011 - 11:05

Finally, I am able to re-setup my site with Drupal 7 after a server glitch that destroy my Drupal 6 installation, where are the backup you may ask? Well as embarrassing as it sound, I didn't have one, only because I thought nothing could go wrong with my server because its such a low traffic site, but anyway, moving forward and learning from my mistake, I now have a full back up and have it schedule every week :-) 

This website was made with alot of Drupal goodness and many cool new features and modules or should I say, cool modules that makes it into the core like CCK. Drupal 7 comes with a new module call Display Suite, which is really cool and easy to use, its like a cross between Views and Views templating, if you know what i mean, I would like it more if it has the ability to re-write the output of a field that Views has, it would be awesomeness :-) or maybe it does but I can't see it, please someone point out the right direction to me.

Drupal 7 comes with a lot of goodness, but to really grasp it all, you still needs a good understanding of the Drupal structure and how it works, because in a sense its a port of many Drupal 6 goodness into the core, so if you have Drupal 6 experience, finding your way around would be a breeze, a couple of videos and a few hours playing around would get you started. 

So what are you waiting for? go download Drupal 7 and start fiddling, that's the best way to learn, for me at least :-)

Enjoy.
