Using the Dotclear wiki syntax with Drupal

In a previous post, I presented a Drupal module I did to allow using the Dotclear wiki syntax in Drupal.

I have recently updated this module. it main new feature is that when the wikitools module is installed, the Dotclear module will create links automatically for words writen with CamelCase.

New version : Dotcler wiki syntax for Drupal (click to download). For installation instructions, refer to the previous post.

DrupalCon Paris 2009

Last week was DrupalCon, a bi-annual conference around the CMS Drupal. This occurence took place in Paris at Cité U.

Ou ? Quoi ?

It was organized by the Drupal France et Francophonie association. It was extremely well organized ! There was plenty to eat and drink all days long. Most conferences started and ended in time ! There was people to help everywhere ! I enjoyed the convenience of the location. I attended many conferences (an average of 6 per day over 3 days !). And learned a lot about some specialized or esoteric features. For exemple I followed conferences on the following topics :

  • Ubercart
  • RDF in Drupal 7
  • Agile development with Scrum
  • Semantic media
  • ...

Drupal, la machine à tout faire du Web

Drupal, la machine à tout faire du Web

« Code freeze », « load balancing », « framework »… Une langue étrange avait envahi la Cité universitaire de Paris en fin de semaine. S'y tenait la DrupalCon, la conférence bi-annuelle des développeurs et des utilisateurs de Drupal, événement inédit en France. L'occasion de rencontrer Dries Buytaert, le créateur de ce logiciel libre.

Using the Dotclear wiki syntax with Drupal

MàJ 20090924 : there is a new version

The Dotclear wiki syntax is simple and allow easy access to the most used styles in a publishing system. It has simple tags for titles, emphasis, bulleted and numbered lists and foot notes.

I already did a quick hack to allow to Use the Dotclear wiki syntax in text editors for BBedit, TextWrangler and MarsEdit.

I had the chance to find the MarkDown module for Drupal. That was a good starting point to work on a Dotclear wiki syntax module for Drupal (click to download).

Installaton of this module is easy.

First, upload the folder dotclear inside the folder /drupal/sites/all/modules/. In all the following steps, replace drupal by the name of your root folder install. If the folder modules does not exists yet (fresh install), create it.

Then, with your web browser, go to http://example.com/drupal/admin/build/modules/list. And scroll down to the section Input filters.

Module Dotclear wiki syntax

Click the check box near Dotclear wiki filter so that it have a check mark Check box with check mark. Then scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on Save configuration.

Go to /drupal/admin/settings/filters.

Input formats

Click on Add input format. Name it Dotclear. Allow Anonymous and Authenticated users, check the box close to Dotclear and no other box.

Add input format

Click Save configuration. Then go back to /drupal/admin/settings/filters/list.

Input formats (default)

You may select Dotclear and click Set default format if you want all users to use it by default.

Helping Drupal beginners

Helping Drupal beginners

The average Drupal user has an absurdly high technical level, which leads to the second big problem: Nearly all of drupal.org is beyond the neophyte's abilities. That's as it must be at this stage of Drupal's maturity. Drupal is still a developer's tool; does it have the potential to become usable to the average person who wants a Web presence beyond WordPress and Yahoo! SiteBuilder? Maybe. But it's not there yet.

A boon to beginners: the "Acquia Drupal stack installer" (DAMP)

So I eagerly downloaded and tried Acquia's new Drupal Stack Installer (on the Mac), and found that it successfully avoids all these problems. Most importantly, it installs like a Mac application. Double click it, and it goes! For end users, that's huge.
