Meanwhile, contributed modules continue to be added and improved that leverage taxonomy for displaying, searching, filtering, sorting, and recommending content– and for connecting your site to other sites and classification methods.</p> <p>Ironically, the plethora of contributed taxonomy modules are as poorly organized and hard to keep track of as any set of Drupal projects. We'll help you make sense of it all.</p> <p>Speakers:</p> <ul> </ul><div class="field field-type-text field-field-session-day"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <div class="field-label-inline-first"> Day:&nbsp;</div> Day 3 </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-bio-booklet"> <div class="field-label">Speaker bio:&nbsp;</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> * More bios coming&lt;br /&gt; * Benjamin Melançon does Drupal development with Agaric, which builds powerful web sites for people who do things.

Drupal core has never had a way to upload an image and then output a thumbnail it. Of course there are dozens of solutions for making thumbnails in the contributed modules repository, but it will be a huge benifit to new users to have this handling out of the box. The time is at hand for making Drupal's core, default installation come with kick-ass image manipulation abilities.

The Field API supports attaching custom data fields to nodes, users, remote data objects, and any other type of entity. This session introduces the Field API for module developers and shows how it differs from Drupal 6's "hook_nodeapi" approach.</p> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-bio-booklet"> <div class="field-label">Speaker bio:&nbsp;</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> Barry Jaspan has been a Drupal contributor and core developer for over three years.

We added <a href="http://api.drupal.org/api/function/hook_page_alter/7">hook_page_alter()</a> where a themer or module developer can alter any part of the page just before it is rendered. At this point, the page is still a raw array that can be easily manipulated.</p> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-bio-booklet"> <div class="field-label">Speaker bio:&nbsp;</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> Moshe Weitzman has been a consistent contributor to Drupal core and Contrib since November 2001 (i.e. before drupal.org was born).
