Drupal

After hours of searching Google, lots of trial and error, and a bunch of grumbling, I had a breakthrough and finally figured out how to get Source Maps to work under Chrome and Compass. The problem is that this functionality has been around for over a year in various forms in the pre-release versions of Sass and Chrome. As such, many of the posts I found were out dated and didn't work with the current, stable versions. So this post is partially to document the process for myself (and a small victory lap!), but hopefully someone else will get something out of it.

There is a lot about Drupal that is pretty awesome, upgrades and content migration don't top the list however. Trevor James's new book, Migrating to Drupal 7, is published by Packt and takes a look at a couple ways of getting existing content into Drupal. The two most common ways are the Feeds module and the Migrate module, both are touched on. Additionally the Drupal 6 to Drupal 7 upgrade preocess is covered, as well as importing content into Drupal from Wordpress.

Typically I find that learning by doing works best for me, and there are some subjects (Drupal) that lend themselves to this approach as well. Drupal 7 Development by Example sounded like just the ticket. Many of the big keywords are hit on while flipping through the preface. Initially this sounds great, but perhaps there are too many? This book appears to have all the right intentions, but maybe it bites off a bit too much?
