Last couple of months we started to notice spam comments on our site. We have installed image captcha but obviously there are more and more human persons whose job is to manually spam sites.
We quickly created couple of triggers and actions that are sending emails and notify us when a new comment is created. Then we would manually check that comment and if it is a spam (>95% chance) we would put it into moderation.

Here are the slides from my session “Creating a Web Community – Examples” held on 28.Nov.2009 on DrupalCamp at TU Wien. I have talked about the strategies that I had a chance to observe in MontenaSoft’s previous projects, MegaCard.at and forschungsstrategie.at (more details in Portfolio section).

Here are the slides from my session "Securing your Drupal site" that I held at drupalcamp.at. Topic that I tried to cover was so huge that it just wasn't possible to manage it in 45min, and I just barely scratch the surface.

DrupalCon is the most important event of Drupal Community, it happens once a year in Europe and this year it is taking place in Paris, France, from 01. until 05 Sept. We are expecting to meet a lot of old friends from all over the world and to get some insider information about the future development of Drupal, which is emerged in this last years one of the most powerful content management system on the world and also our preferred platform for Web developing.

A week ago I held a presentation about Acquia and Acquia Partnership in Austrian Drupal community and got some interesting feedback that I would like to share with.

Web site Research Strategy 2020 (Forschungsstrategie 2020) was an extraordinary interesting and exciting project that incorporates political issues with social capabilities of web. It is a platform that empowers broad public to discuss about Austrian research strategy created by Austrian Council.

Ivica and I made a trip to Aarau, Switzerland. There was an interesting gathering of Drupal Community there, Drupal Media Camp from 8 to 9 of May. Impressions are very good; we also had a chance to talk again with some very nice people we met in DrupalCon 2008 in Szeged, Hungary.

Long time since my last blog post. First of all yep I am live and well ;) Second we had so much work in last 1.5 month on couple of Drupal projects that it was impossible to find some free time for blogging or anything else.

Yesterday we started design part of one of our current drupal project. Naturally our designer asks me – ok for which resolution I should optimize site? And I said to him, well client has not have any special request so I guess we should go with standard 1024px screen width resolution in planning phase and optimize site for that.

Recently I had a problem in one of the projects i am working: after upgrade of the Workflow module from 6.x-1.0-rc3 to 6.x-1.1, the workflow form on node edit form was not functioning correctly. I was constantly getting php error when saving nodes:

warning: array_key_exists() [function.array-key-exists]: The first argument should be either a string or an integer in …../sites/all/modules/workflow/workflow.module on line 270.
