Last week I wrote about Organic Groups in Drupal and how to customize the way it controls access to content. This article describes how you can use the Rules module to create a custom, lightweight solution for sending email notifications to members of a group whenever new content is added.
The Organic Groups module in Drupal provides groups of users with a way of discussing common interests in a separate space of their own. It does a great job at controlling who has access to what, depending on how open you want your groups to be. Yet, we've found in a couple of projects that it didn't quite fulfill our needs. Naturally, you wouldn't be reading this if we hadn't found a solution.
I've worked a lot on making the configuration in FFmpeg Converter exportable during the last couple of days. I found it to be very rewarding, although the whole thing grew larger than I had expected, as always. In this post I'll give an overview of the steps required to create a fully featured exportable configuration interface in Drupal.
Today I'm giving two workshops at DrupalCamp Stockholm. One is about the Context module and the other about the Features module. This article serves as documentation for the second workshop on the hot topic of Features.

Creating content in Drupal can be easy enough: fill out a form, click Save, and you're done. However, the wonderful power of CCK often makes us end up with quite complex node forms that can be hard to read. In this first article on usability in content management we will show how you can make the most of your users' content editing experience.
In this final article about our recent adventures with the Google Maps API we will talk about how to deal with situations where markers are too plentiful and about creating beautiful customized info windows.
In a previous article we talked about how we collect and process location data in a recent project. We will follow up with discussing how we dealt with the performance issues involved with a map that contains a very large number of markers.
We recently finished a very interesting website which uses Google Maps extensively. In fact, the whole thing is visually wrapped in a map, with all the content represented by markers on the map. Here we will share some of the things we learned while developing the mapping part of this site. To help readers avoid fatigue, we will split it up into a couple of articles.
