Drupal Sprint Camp Wrapup

On Oct 16/17th we held the Drupal 7 Sprintcamp in Hannover. We met with 40 Drupal Workers of all flavors to give a boost to Drupal 7. Beyond the main focus on D7 we also dived headlong into more general Drupal stuff.

Our beautiful venue was the Coworking Space Hannover. On three floors we had plenty of space. We worked on four topic groups: Coding, Documentation, Marketing and Translation. The official organizer was the Drupal Initiative Germany, which is our local mini-version of the Drupal Association. undpaul did all the practical planning and organizing. We managed to attract quite some sponsors, and thanks to them we could keep the camp completely free for attendants, including drinks, food and a saturday night event in a nearby pub. A big thank you to the sponsors!

We chose coordinatiors for each topic group to have better organization and to have someone to talk to for the sprinters at all times if they ran into problems or out of work.

Erstellen einer Inline-Galerie

Diese Anleitung zeigt, wie man schnell und unkompliziert eine Inline-Galerie erstellt.

Ziel ist es, zu einem Inhalt (beispielsweise "Page") beliebig viele Bilder hinzuzufügen. Diese sollen dann frei im Text positioniert werden können und bei einem Klick auf das Bild soll sich eine vergrößerte Version öffnen.

Drupal and Media Queries: more control of your styles

With CSS3 the W3C has introduced a new goodie for design on the web: Media Queries.
Until then stylesheets could only be called conditionally by using media types like "print" or "screen". Media Queries extends this to being able to use certain properties as a controlling mechanism if to load a style or not.
You could specify that a stylesheet is only loaded if the browser window has a maximum width of 800px.
To do so, you simply extend the value of the media-attribute by the desired attribute and value when inserting the stylesheet. To get our example to work we need to use the following HTML-Code:

<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" media="screen and (max-width: 800px)" href="mystyle.css" />

As an alternative you could also write it into the stylesheet directly:

@media screen and (max-width: 800px) {
  ...
}

If you're working with Drupal (which you should), you can use the regular .info file of the theme you're using:

stylesheets[screen and (max-width: 800px)][] = style.css

Drupal und Media Queries: Stil nach Plan

Mit CSS3 hat das W3C ein neues Schmankerl für Design im Web eingeführt: Media Queries.

Bisher kannte man nur die Möglichkeit, Stylesheets anhand von Medientypen (zum Beispiel "screen" oder "print") zu verwenden. Media Queries erweitern diese Möglichkeit nun um die Verwendung bestimmter Eigenschaften.
