Audrey Foo: CVSing back your drupal site. -

The benefits of using source control are great. It is like working with another developer, to review your code changes, even if you are all by yourself, not to mention being able to rollback any changes that you have made.

Divide pages into usable but limited size portions.

Sat, 02/20/2010 - 5:41pm

We've been playing around with Managing News here for a few months now, and it's an interesting beastie.  Here's a nice article from Development Seed about extending the mapping in Managing News.

 

Development Seed: Customizing Maps and Geo Data in Managing News -  

Using custom map tiles and open geo data to build a hyper local news tracker

Managing News ships with its maps and geotagging features preconfigured for tracking global news on a world map. But user interface improvements in Managing News Beta 7 make it easy to use an alternate map layer and import custom location data so you can track news in a specific geographic region.

This screencast shows how I was able to tailor my maps to focus on the city of Washington, DC and plot the stories published on various neighborhood blogs. I used open geographic data from the DC government and the DC Nightvision tileset from MapBox.
