Drupal video module has long history with Drupal, initially it started only with simple file upload and now it has many great features like ffmpeg support, auto thumbnail support and Youtube API support etc.

I'm happy to see every week the video module is increasing its download count now about 4000 per week. I'm really really happy to see ppl are using my module.

Why xsend module is made for?

xsend is a simple module to help you to speed up your private file transfer, normally Drupal private file transfer is quite troublesome and not secure if files folder locate at public_html, not only that but also this module will help you to protect your files from unauthorized access too.

Why you need this?

- If your still using Drupal public file transfer your not secure at all, every one can get your files.

- If your using Drupal private file transfer, your secure. But files transfer to the client is very slow.

This is a general note about how to get the Facebook Status as RSS

Download the module

http://drupal.org/project/activitystream_facebook

RSS is one of the most useful tools out there for moving information around on the web. Recently the concept of “micro-blogging” status updates has become very popular with applications like Facebook, Twitter and Pownce.

The only problem is that it is a pain to update many sites at the same time. It is better to pick one and broadcast RSS to the others. I’m going to show you how to broadcast your Facebook status as RSS.

Facebook, for some reason, makes it very difficult to find the RSS feed for your own posted status updates. After some searching and digging, I was able to find the URL.

Team Lullabot is really excited to unveil O'Reilly Media's first Drupal book, Using Drupal, due out next month. (BTW, that's a dormouse on the cover. :)) The book is written against Drupal 6.

John K. VanDyk confirmed that Pro Drupal Development 2nd edition will be published early this summer. I don’t know about you but in Montreal it sure does not look like summer. We’re still in the dead of winter, and it’s one snowstorm after another.Anywho, I got busy last night and, on a Drupal 6 install, I worked through chapter sweet seventeen of the Pro Drupal Development 1st edition book. The title of the chapter is "Using jQuery".(Hey, here is an idea for a thread: name the one computer book you’ve actually read from cover to cover in your life. My answer: Pro Drupal Development, and probably just a few other books.)

CCK has been significantly reworked for Drupal 6, both to add new functionality and to provide stronger code and APIs. We've tried to respond to many of the things that were often requested but were difficult or impossible to do in the Drupal 5 version: streamline the process of creating fields, use drag-n-drop to reorganize fields and values, provide a user-friendly 'Add more' button for multiple values, give developers an API and more tools to customize CCK behavior, and provide more documentation.
Many of the things you see in the latest code would not have been possible without all the new Drupal 6 and Views 2 features. Drupal 6, CCK 2 and Views 2 make a great combination!

DrupalCon is the official Drupal unconference that attracts the most talented open source developers and innovative web shops in the world and brings them together to share knowledge, make decisions on the future of Drupal, and get to know each other in person.

A new theme has launched by me for the Drupal CMS.screen shots are available here and contact me if you want to download it.This will publish very soon in the Drual site.Hesh

Drupal Programming from an Object-Oriented Perspective Drupal often gets criticized by newcomers who believe that object-oriented programming (OOP) is always the best way to design software architecture, and since they do not see the word "class" in the Drupal code, it must be inferior to other solutions. In fact, it is true that Drupal does not use many of the OOP features of PHP, but it is a mistake to think that the use of classes is synonymous with object-oriented design. This article will cover several of the features of Drupal from an object-oriented perspective, so programmers comfortable with that paradigm
