Flickr: Fields in registration dialog
Hagen Graf: Fields in registration form
Since a few months I try to have a closer look at Drupal 7. After the release of Alpha 6 I decided to start a clients project based on Drupal 7. Two weeks ago we discovered a more or less strange problem.
In Drupal 7, as far as I knew, the profiles module will disappear or integrated in the new field api.
So I thought it would be a good idea to create the user fields as "fields" not as "profile fields". That worked perfect. It was possible to see the fields in the user edit dialog and in the user profile. It was also possible to access the fields via the views module.
But ... what is with the registration dialog? Read more

I Can Localize: Translation Analytics - A Reporting Tool
The next major addition to Translation Management will be the addition of a reporting tool.
This reporting tool will answer questions like these:
- How are translations progressing?
- Who's the French translator, responsible for the delays?
- Which urgent documents are still not translated?
- Are all marketing documents for product X translated?
- How much work did we send to translation service Y in June?
To answer these questions, and more, we're setting up a Translation Analytics tool, which would work very similarly to the famous Google tool for Website Analytics.
The idea is that you can define special taxonomy for documents, like urgency, budget code, project, etc. The Translation Analytics will identify these fields and create database entries for them.
You will be able to drill down through the translation statistics and create reports that give you the information you're looking for.
Lullabot: Drupal Voices 160: Moshe Weitzman on Page Rendering in Drupal 7
Moshe Weitzman talks about the new Page rendering flow and hook_page_alter() functionality in Drupal 7, which allows a more control over what appears on each page load. This will enable one-off customizations to the page loads in a much easier way. He talks about how Drupal 7 themes can now implement alter hooks, and how the page render arrays use the same approach as forms and nodes. Weitzman suggest that if you're new to the concept of render arrays to check out either the Pro Drupal Development book or some of the other training resources such as a workshop or other training videos.

Growing Venture Solutions: Drupalcamp Atlanta and best practices for event websites in Drupal
Drupalcamp Atlanta recently launched their new site for the 2010 Camp. I reviewed some of their features and found it to be a solid site. As the GVS team increases our focus on selling events with Drupal, I wanted to hear more about the backend of the site. So, I got in touch with Brent Ratliff who was the lead developer on the site, to find out how the site was built.

In my humble opinion, should be part of core. But since this module already has a Drupal 7 pledge, we are OK with the situation as it is (actually there are so many modules that are part of core, problem is upgrading core would be suuuch a huge task…)
Well, pathauto automatically generates an URL path alias every time you create a node or object. It does so according to a set of defined rules or patterns, which can be found and set at:

EchoDitto Tech Blog: Tutorial: How to Group Fields in Views With a Div or Span Tag
This is a howto for wrapping a div around a few of your view fields (and not others). This is useful, for instance, for being able to group all one's content so that it floats left but does not float around an image.
EDIT: This technique is a good intro to views templates, however, an easier way exists which seems a little hackish, but would work for many use cases. Thanks to Sr. or Sra. Anonymous.
Just use one "Global:Custom" field with a single div tag in it. See screenshot. It will span from that element until the last field in the view row. You can insert another "Global:Custom" field which can be nested inside the previous. However, I do not see a way to use this to create two sibling field groupings, so this post is still useful for learning about views templating and will give you you complete control over your markup.
Carry on.
First, create a template for your view.
EmmaJane: New Ebook: Code-Free Layout with Skinr, Fusion and Panels
Earlier this year I delivered a series of talks and workshops on how to use "advanced" modules to create Drupal layouts without ever having to crack open a PHP file. The slides from my CMS Expo talk "Advanced Design for Drupal" were uploaded to SlideShare. Now, for the first time ever, the notes from this talk (which became a three-week workshop) are available for sale.
