Sweet CSS3 Buttons

Und wieder eine schöne Demonstration was irgendwann mal möglich sein wird: BonBon Buttons.

Create CSS buttons that are sexy looking, really flexible, but with the most minimalistic markup as possible. (…) This is just a demo and not meant to be used on your next project that targets the average internet user. I just wanted to show a couple techniques how to use some of the new CSS3/HTML5 features. So only the current version of Safari, Chrome and Firefox are supported.

Drupal 7: Anlegen und Aktualisieren von Nodes via Code

Group 42 erklärt wie man mittels node_save() Nodes aus Code heraus anlegen und aktualisieren kann.

A quick note for those of you familiar with Drupal 6. You’ll notice two changes in Drupal 7:
Body Field Is No Longer Special
In Drupal 6 the body field was special. Specifically, it had a different data structure than other fields and it always existed, even if it wasn’t used. With Drupal 7 the body field is a standard field provided by core and is truly optional.
Language
Language specification is required for the node and some fields.

Drupal: SEO Tip

Blamcast weist auf ein Problem der Default robots.txt Datei bei Drupal hin.

By default, every image you upload to your Drupal site gets stored somewhere inside the “sites” directory. And, by default, Drupal is blocking every search engine from looking inside your “sites” directory. In other words, your images aren’t getting indexed! (…)Even worse, this problem doesn’t just affect images. PDFs, Flash files, text documents, and other uploads all go into the same “sites” folder. Google knows how to index these files, but your robots.txt file is stopping GoogleBot cold.
