Here's a short video of drupalize.me describing all the action.

There is a great plugin Drupal 6.x (Drupal Module) for NetBeans. The only negative - it has not been updated in a long time and does not work with the version of NetBeans 6.9.1 and the new NetBeans 7 (which is currently in beta version). Of course Drupal 6 version is not quite relevant and it is time to move to Drupal 7. But anyway, this plugin is still in high demand among the Drupal developers.

So I decided to install it. Downloaded, but installation got error message:

For NetBeans 6.9.1:

Иногда на русскоязычных хостингах зачем-то настраивают кодировку windows-1251 для всех страниц, которые отдает сервер Apache.

В случае, если вам нужна другая кодировка (например, UTF-8), это можно легко отключить.

Для этого указываем в файле .htaccess такие строки:

AddDefaultCharset Off
<IfModule mod_charset.c>
    CharsetDisable On
    CharsetRecodeMultipartForms Off
</IfModule>

AddDefaultCharset Off – отключаем дефолтную кодировку для всех выдаваемых страниц на веб сервере Apache.

CharsetDisable On - отменяем перекодировку сервером файлов.

CharsetRecodeMultipartForms Off – отключаем перекодировку для запросов типа POST с Content-Type: multipart/form-data.

Our final Drupal 7 alpha version was released about three weeks ago. Today, we're proud to announce the first beta version of Drupal 7.x for your further testing and feedback!

The jump between alpha to beta means the following:

• We think that we have resolved all critical data loss and security bugs in Drupal 7.
• We think that our APIs are now frozen enough so that contributed module and theme authors can start (or pick up again) their #D7CX pledges.
• We think that we have caught and fixed most of the problems with the upgrade path. We were able to successfully upgrade a copy of the Drupal.org database to Drupal 7.

That said, we definitely still have some bugs to shake out, and we need your help to find them! Especially new folks who haven't taken Drupal 7 for a spin yet. So please, do so, and let us know what bugs you find in the "Drupal core" issue queue (Please search incoming issues before filing).

Introducing our latest icon set - 2400 Flags. We've created a flag for every major country in the world, plus a few more. And we've created them in several sizes so they'll look great no matter where you're using them - 16x16, 24x24, 32x32, 48x48, and 64x64. We've also provided them in 2 variants - as flat and standard, and with a lovely glossy finish.

Sometimes you want to be available to the whole list of access rights, which are defined in modules Drupal. This list of rights, for example, can be seen on the settings page permissions Drupal (www.example.com/admin/user/permissions).

How do I get such a list? Very simple:

$perms = array();
foreach (module_list(FALSE, FALSE, TRUE) as $module) {
  if ($permissions = module_invoke($module, 'perm')) {
    asort($permissions);
    foreach ($permissions as $perm) {
      $perms[] = $perm;
    }
  }
}

In an array $perms will want us to list of access rights for all modules Drupal.

Drupal 6.18 and 5.23, maintenance releases which fix security vulnerabilities are now available for download.

Drupal 6.19 also fixes other small issues reported through the bug tracking system.

Upgrading your existing Drupal 5 and 6 sites is strongly recommended.
