Drupal Planet

Last week we were thrilled to learn that a site we developed, the North Carolina High School Athletic Assocation (NCHSAA) was selected as Best Sports Website in the 2014 Blue Drop Awards.

Over the coming weeks we'll write a few posts highlighting some of the features of the site. In this post, I want to focus on some of the performance techniques we used to ensure quick page loads.

In this post, we'll look at how we can implement a testing framework for ongoing imports of data into Drupal using some of our favorite tools: CasperJS, Migrate module, and Jenkins.

This post examines how to use CasperJS, Drush, and Jenkins to implement an automated, behavior driven development testing cycle for your Drupal site.

Rebuilding a local development environment for a Drupal site can often be a chore. Drush Rebuild is a simple utility to help manage the process of rebuilding a local development environment.

Explanation of workflow and tools for developing with Drupal install profiles and Drush Make.

An overview of how to relocate your modules and themes to sites/all and discontinue use of a Drupal install profile.

DesignHammer completed a major Salesforce project this year which involved restructuring a client's Drupal/Salesforce integration. The client was using a forked, hacked-apart version of the Salesforce module from 2009 along with a custom implementation of Salesforce Outbound Messaging to do bidirectional syncing of 30,000 Drupal user accounts.

We've been working on upgrading the DesignHammer website to Drupal 7 for the last few weeks. It's not been a bad process, but one particular issue had been vexing us: how to set the active trail for nodes and pages that don't have menu items.

About a month ago I became a co-maintainer of the Salesforce Suite module for Drupal. The suite offers robust integration with Salesforce.com. I wanted to write a few words about the Salesforce suite modules and encourage developers and users to check it out.
