A nice talk on Drupal - Introduced by Yubis IT Solutions

Here I would like to introduce a nice talk held by Google Tech Talks on 8 OCT 2007, talking about "Implementing Drupal".

I found it' s really nice, detailed and I think you will be interested if you wanna have a more thorough understanding on Drupal.

Here is the link: Link

It's a about 52mins-long youtube video. You may also drag the time line to wherever you like according to following parts of the talk:

11:00 Killer Modules
1800 Drupal 6 intro
2030 Drupal 7 intro
2159 Links Resouces
2500 Drupal example - Edutopia.org
4600 Drupal vs Joomla

The part for "Drupal vs Joomla" is recommended, no matter you are a Drupal fans or Joomla fans, I've been waiting for such an objective view on these two great cms.

Enjoy!
Enjoy Drupal! :)

Embed Youtube/ other 3party video

Instal the Drupal module called embedded video from http://drupal.org/project/emfield



After that, add this field to any content type you wanna put into. (Addr: /admin/content/node-type)

Select Manage field and then add a field called embedded video.




After that, every node created using this content type contains an embedded video field. Simply copy the youtube link like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7KhcEAmCxQ&feature=related and the video can be shown. It does save steps in copying object tags to display youtube videos.




You can check what type of video could be embedded in /admin/content/emfield. Configuration can be as well done there.


PS. Not only video can be embedded, even flickr or other kinda media can be embedded. This can be achieved by enabling Embed media module from /admin/build/modules.
