CCK Export for node modules

Tuesday, November 25, 2008 - 7:45pm - Kris Vanderwater

So I spent yesterday learning some new things about Drupal. As always there's too much for any one person, so I'm going to share what I learned in the hopes that it will help other out, and maybe let us refine a process toward getting these sorts of modules fast-tracked toward being the "Drupal-Way".

In this blog I'm going to cover a number of different concepts including the ability to package your own pre-built designs via views, packaging content types via cck, and just some all around niceties that Drupal 6 makes so easy.

Drupal Classes at a Crossroad

Monday, November 10, 2008 - 4:29pm - Ju young Vanderwater

As some of you might already know we have been holding classes in our office to teach our new guys the ins and outs of Drupal. After a short time we had reached a crossroad of sorts though - and a decision needed to be made.

Data Abuse Hurts Everyone

Friday, November 7, 2008 - 12:15am - Kris Vanderwater

Yesterday was spent moving an old client's Lotus Notes based intranet (I use that term loosely) over to Drupal. Actually the entire last 2 weeks have been focused on this to some extent, but yesterday was spent primarily bringing across a significant part of the old data.

Drupal (the winner!) as a Development Platform

Friday, October 31, 2008 - 5:15pm - Ju young Vanderwater

Drupal has won the Packt Publishing 2008 Open Source CMS Award, Overall and in the PHP category! The corresponding articles can be found here:

Drupal has won the Overall award two years in a row, and The Worx Company is excited to be working with it. The attraction to Drupal from our perspective, is that it is not only a great content management system for clients who need the basic functionality to manage their own sites, but it is an excellent development platform.

Growing a Community

Tuesday, October 28, 2008 - 11:04am - Kris Vanderwater

One of the really amazing advantages to being in Oklahoma is the fact that we get to learn everything about building a Drupal Community for ourselves. Of course, that's also one of the bad things about being in Oklahoma, but I'm feeling "glass half full" today. One of our basic principles as a company is "education". There's a lot of really important points to make here, but the two I'm going to focus in on are the facts that:

There are companies in our market place that are taking advantage of the small to medium sized businesses in this market.
Open Source technologies are often head and shoulders above their proprietary counterparts.

Meetings, Conferences, and more...

Tuesday, October 28, 2008 - 10:23am - Ju young Vanderwater

Kris has been busier last week than any other week I can remember in the recent past. The Worx Company has been involved in the Oklahoma State Chamber of Commerce this past year, working with them to get several websites up in Drupal. There are several branches of the Chamber, I've learned, and we are working on two branches and the main Chamber of Commerce website. Ultimately, the goal is to get their web manager fully trained in Drupal, so they will be self sufficient, and will be able to manage all of their websites. (It is so awesome when they come in for training, and at the end of it, exclaim, "Wow, that was so easy, I don't even have to take notes!" But that's a different story for another time...)

Web Design and Development in Oklahoma

Sunday, April 13, 2008 - 1:44am - Kris Vanderwater

Oklahoma is a pretty small environment in which to run a Web Design & Development shop. Having been around in some form for the last 25 years gives us an edge in that department as we have lots of history, and track record to fall back upon, but that doesn't mean that some of our competitors don't do equally well. The difference, I think, is how we go about keeping our customers.
