Powerful new modules for Drupal layouting and ease of use

Wed, 2010-02-17 17:48 | by Samuel Lampa

France24, a french news website, recently upgraded from Drupal 5 to Drupal 6, taking benefit of improved performance and functionality. In the course, they have developed a seemingly quite impressive set of modules that provide the functionality that was missing in Drupal in order to create a highly flexibly layouted, and easy-worked news website - features which are highly general to many categories of websites. The good news is that they now have released most, if not all, of their custom modules as open source, as reported on drupal.org. Great news!

RDF in Drupal Screenshot

As work has now started on getting bioclipse.net on Drupal (more on that in a while), it's good to know that Drupal is in to semantic web.

I was wondering what it looks like (since I have not had time to play with it), and to me, this screenshot was clarifying, showing how you can map fields (core fields, or your own custom ones) to rdf types (In drupal you can create both custom fields, and custom content types, which contain many fields).
