Neverland can't be far away when you hear things like "One click install" and "Zero touch deployment". Doesn't it? The real world is tougher. Many webdevelopers spend much more time to deploy their websites. "Should I care? I have bigger problems!" Well, it depends. Perhaps it takes only two minutes to setup your server for a new Drupal-install, only half an hour to deploy a new site. But what about two hours downtime to revert a site it because it failed to deploy?

Deployment is a part of this, but it can also be used for automatic tests, making backups, etc. It is triggered either manually, by cron or upon commit into a version control system. To me Jenkins is, beyond doubt, very suitable for Drupal deployment.

During our Drupal Introduction training we show the usage statistics of Drupal core. But since there is no longer a graph of the Drupal core statistics on drupal.org, we make our own. If you like statistics, like me, there is excitement in this graph since the release of Drupal 7. Using this graph I will try to predict the Drupal 7 growth in the next month and the coming years.

So you have a basic wysiwyg setup using the Wysiwyg module. Lets dive deeper into the configuration of your wysiwyg editor. In this article I describe the configuration of the Wysiwyg module and how to prevent collisions with text formats.

Drupal has no wysiwyg editor in core, but the fact is that practically all end users ask for it. People new to Drupal struggle with this and ask me regularly. In this article I will explain how to add a wysiwyg editor to a Drupal site.

Het landschap van Drupal deployment verandert snel.
