This is just a quick note to let you know (if you hadn't noticed!) that we've updated this site to Drupal 6. We've done this for several clients over the last few months, and figured it was time to do it on our own site. We've used a theme Acquia Marina for now, but we'll update this to something more customised as we find the time!

Well, we just got back from a hectic (and very long!) day in Sydney at the DrupalCamp Australia 2008. Of course, Taniwha Solutions was a sponsor, and of course, I was presenting. This time, on automated testing in Drupal. I wrote the notes on the plane on the way there, but the talk seemed to go well, and a few people came up to me and asked questions later.

One of our clients came to us the other day, looking for an ecommerce solution for their product. After much deliberation, we have decided to use ubercart for Drupal 6.

While it's not quite released yet, we're finding it an awesome tool for this kind of site. When combined with Views 2, CCK, Panels, it's an unbeatable combination!

Drupal for Firebug

Firebug

I stumbled across this a few days, and had a chance to chat to the developer. It's a really cool plugin for Firebug (for firefox) and Drupal, that presents diagnostic information to the client during normal page-views. See the Chapter Three article for more information. http://www.chapterthree.com/blog/matt_cheney/drupal_for_firebug

Feedjit Screenshot

I was reading a blog today, and it had a set of quite interesting widgets, showing realtime information about where in the world visitors to the site were coming from. There were also blocks showing realtime "related-pages" etc. This information turned out to be provided by http://feedjit.com/ which has been getting a little bit of buzz recently.
