The Truth About WYSIWYG Editing in your CMS
Yesterday at DrupalCon I saw Karen McGrane speak for the first time. Karen is a respected content strategist and frequent keynote speaker. She's fantastic, and I was thrilled to see her speak live for the first time.
The main point made during Karen’s keynote is that we need to think differently when thinking about digital content. Legacy processes designed for print publishing shaped much of... More

Automate review for security risks with source code analysis
Security issues are created in custom code when developers cut corners during development or don't make proper use of the APIs, among other reasons. There are several ways to discover such issues, including peer-review, code scanners, vulnerability scanning, and even by being exploited -- tho certainly undesirable! While each has its place and individual merits, let’s talk about security-focused... More

When bad things happen to good Drupal site owners
Posted on mardi, novembre 25, 2008 by Jeff Whatcott RSS
Lately we've been having a few discussions about the various things that can go wrong with a Drupal site. We certainly see a flow of such things in the Acquia Network forum and in our support ticket system. But I'd like to throw open the doors and get a broader set of feedback.
If you have a moment, please complete the following Google Apps form. I'll gather the data and report back what I find. It should make for some interesting reading.

Migrating the Drupal way. Part II: saving those old URLs
For the second part of my migration blog, I want to touch on the importance of maintaining URLs from your old site and demonstrate some examples of how to capture them in Drupal. Search engine traffic and other referrals are invaluable when it comes to the success of a site. I've managed sites that have received upwards of 100,000 referrals a day from Google alone. This is not even to mention all of the external links and bookmarks to your pages. If you are thinking about migrating to Drupal and have not considered the importance of maintaining... More

A hosted search service for Drupal
Jay just announced Acquia's plans to get into the hosted search business. By doing so, we hope to provide Drupal sites a (i) faster, (ii) more scalable search solution that (iii) can work across multiple sites, that (iv) can handle broader content, (v) that offers faceted navigation and more.
Content management systems with basic keyword search are going nowhere but out of style. Content management systems that do search really well can improve a site's navigation in new and significant ways. We want Drupal sites to... More
Hosted Solr site search for Drupal is on the way
The search technology area is highly important to people with websites. As a result, I've spent serious time looking at it. Several things have come from this time spent:
The important thing: We'll soon be adding "hosted site search" capabilities to the Acquia Network for our subscribers. More about this below.
The unimportant thing: Search was modestly influential in the selection of our company name. ah-kwe-eh is the (native American) Navajo WW II code talker word for "Locate." I reasoned that... More
