For the most accurate prediction: https://drupalreleasedate.com

He is not really accurate. i say this because on the 1st of October it predicted it will be released on the 3rd, it stayed that way till 4th, plus he does not respect the Drupal release calendar which is the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of every month. his predictions can land it on any day of any week.

Webmasters › Re: Blog Or Website by anitchec(m): 11:05pm On Oct 03, 2015*

let me put your question in a different version...imagine someone asking you "whats the difference between food and rice?" food being website and rice being a blog.
My guy wy explain am give you sent you on a different confused part.
Website is a term used to categorize all kinds of web application with a set of related web pages typically served from a single web domain. the way FOOD categorizes all edible substances you consume to give the body nutrients.
Rice is an edible substance beans is an edible substance, you can compare rice and beans but not rice and food.
A blog is a discussion or an informational WEBSITE where a person or a group of people decides what is published. eg lindaikejiblog.com
A Forum is an online discussion WEBSITE where people can hold conversations in the form of posted messages. eg Nairaland.com

I would have just said Wordpress is a CMS app but i guess you have no idea what that mean.
A CMS is a bundle of website functions designed for people who want to own a dynamic or static website without having to go through a lot of coding pains.
There are different kinds of CMS namely:
Wordpress
Drupal
joomla
Mediawiki...and so on.
Its good practice not to use a CMS for a static website because its an overkill. imagine hiring professional cooks (not one not two) to make a cup of coffee.

A website is either dynamic or Static. Not to go into much talk...a static website is built mainly with HTML, CSS and JAVASCRIPT. a Dynamic website adds PHP to the formula.
Let me use the food terminology again, boiled white rice is static, but when tomatoes and Spices comes into the equation it becomes dynamic because then you can convert it to white rice and stew or jellof rice if you please. PHP is the tomatoes and spices.

How Clear is it now for you?

Sure. There's a very active group (Drupal Nigeria) that is active both online and offline. This is a group of both knowledgeable and upcoming Drupal practitioners in Nigeria. Every one is welcomed. On Facebook, www./drupal.ng, group website, www.drupalnigeria.org, upcoming group event website: http://2015.drupalnigeria.org.

The group meets offline at Shoprite, Ikeja at least once a month (last Saturday of every month).

You can connect up with me on FB (https://www.facebook.com/tony.ogbonna) or shoot me an email at tony@icelark.com and I'll help you out on any Drupal related issues as much as I can.

Thanks a lot

I think it's the php that's overriding the css.. Please just help.. Thanks..

PHP has no business with css unless your using a bootstrap or zurb foundation theme where you dynamically asign classes or you dynamically asign custom classes yourself. Even at that you should still see a few css stylings here and there.

Webmasters › Re: CSS Styles And Images Not Showing On Website. Help! by anitchec(m): 10:52pm On Oct 02, 2015

A few things can cause this:
1. Check your css <link> tag and make sure ur "href" path is correct. If it's?
2. Make sure the .css file it's pointing to is actually there.
Eg. If Your code should look like this: <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.css" type="text/css" />

Now go to the css folder and make sure the file named style.css is there.

Note: it's very important that u specify the files extension which is the ".css"

The answer is an absolute YES: He should start with Drupal 7. The reason is simple, Drupal 7 is still the most stable version, and it will remain so for a few more years. To understand why this is so you have to understand that every Drupal site can be divided into two parts from the code perspective: the Drupal core (equivalent to the Drupal 8 which now close to a Release Candidate phase) and what is called in the Drupal circle Contrib modules (The plugins that extends the basic functionality that the core provides. https://www.drupal.org/project/project_module). The contrib modules are open sourced codes put up by savvy Drupal developers independent from the Drupal core.

A lot of the power of Drupal is derived from the Contrib modules space. So even though the Drupal 8 core is close to a stable release, most of the Contrib modules are not. It will take some time before the Contrib modules catch up, which will takes months to years, depending on which group of Contrib modules you are interested in.

So unless the project is the simplest website possible that do not require anything more than the Drupal core can provide AND you have no intention of adding new functionality anytime soon, you should start with Drupal 7. However you can keep monitoring the Drupal 8 Contrib space for the modules that you are interested in for when they are mature enough to port you project to Drupal 8 safely.

Their is this idea i have been working on for years, honestly the reason i havent finished yet is because am trapped in the drupal7 or 8 dilemma. i monitor the third party modules i'll need just like i monitor D8 and they seem to be on schedule with a DR promising to have an RC the minute D8 enters RC phase, the modules are Flag, Token, Backup and Migrate, Google Analytics, Pathauto, Metatag, CAPTCHA, panels(already has a RC), XML sitemap, Rules(already has a RC) and zurb foundation framework for theming, everything else i can squeeze out of D8 core (and no its not a blog). regardless i have set dec 31st as a deadline for it to go live. from your post so far you sound like your good at what ever it is you do and in due time i will be needing an expert review of my work to make sure am not breaking any Best Practices...lol. do you have a Group or a forum or any platform where you connect with your audience except Nairaland?

okay so listened to all your advice and made two pair of eac icons sould i leave it like dis or you tink i sould use one of d pair

slanted silver
purple circles
red squares
cut through woods

now your onto something...just a few bumps thos
1. since your background-color is blue u need to get creative on how to blend the facebook icon without changing its color, tweek your bg-color a bit. use the image attached to this as a case study.
2. nothing is easy,if you have to write the whole project from scratch to get something your users will like. i guess its worth it. its very important for your app to be appealing visually after-all the diff between kpekere and plantain chips is packaging...lol. make every thing uniformed its called Best Practices, once again use the image attached to this as a case study.
3. and please change your header!

lol Glossy icons are no longer trending...yes. But that did not stop the Fb and Twitter icon from looking very good. In this case, the Glossy icon looked nice.

You are correct about the header too though.

you'll find a lot of glossy facebook and twitter icon doesnt mean thats what they are still using. but for the sake of argument make everything uniformed, its nicer that way.

Webmasters › Re: Rate This HTML5 Mobile App Please by anitchec(m): 4:45pm On Sep 29, 2015

Make use of flat colors. you start off using fontawsome and then had a change of heart when you got to the facebook icon, glossy icons are no longer trending. and then make the circles around the fonts rounded, the whole saw tooth thingy sent it back to the post letter sticker age. Your title banner sucks #MyOpinion

togbonna:
IMHO, if you have any serious (business) interest in Drupal (as I have) right now, you will be much aware that Drupal 7 still occupies center stage despite all the glamours of Drupal 8. There's still so much more to learn and exploit (from a business perspective) with D7. Right now, and for about at least 2 years from now, you can not undertake any real serious project with Drupal 8. This is because it will take that long for D8 to mature to the point of being marginally useful (A critical quantity of key contrib module will have to catch up with the maturity of the D8 core for this to happen).

So if it seems that there is no or not much buzz around the upcoming stable release of D8 among Naija Drupal practitioners, just know that it has less to do with lack of interest and more on practicality (ie D8 has no business value locally for now). But be assured the buzz is going on among the local Drupal community, through series of local meetups (http://drupalnigeria.org) and online elsewhere, outside of nairaland (https://www./drupal.ng, http://icelark.com/blogs/a-journey-towards-drupal-8-development-mastery-the-road-map, http://2015.drupalnigeria.org).

So keep the faith, the buzz will build up rapidly, VERY SOON.

Well said! But i need an advice tho. migrating from drupal 7 to 8 as i have heard will not be easy due to the drastic change in its core, like the incorporation of symfony and all. i mean you cant just copy and paste, this time you have to practical rebuild your site from scratch.
My question is this, for someone who is starting a new project (time is not an issue), would you suggest he builds it on drupal 7 now that 8 is so close to Release Candidate phase?

nigerianescorts:
i love drupal.I use drupal on 2 of my websites.I heard entity reference is now part of drupal core.I wish entity reference can be used as exposed filters to select parent and child taxonomies or creating a parent and child categories like an automobile website where you have make and model so when make is selected the model wll immediately show on a select list.@ anitchec do you have a way to go over this on drupal 7.I used shs module on drupal 7 but the 2 filters dont show at the same time.The second filter only shows after selecting value of first field and veiws displays only parent taxonomy value,no way to display child value of taxonomy on views. I have seen several tutorials on entity reference.I hope that will be easier with drupal 8

you heard right, Entity Reference is now a core module in drupal 8 but whether or not its going to do what you want is what i cant assure.
about the views not displaying taxonomy terms, i have had similar problems in one of my sites still in development stage but i took the easy way out by creating two different content types and adding the fields i need to filter, then use the views menu tab to split them. e.g you can create a content type named Honda and Toyota then add 2 new content of the Honda content type and call them accord and civic, add new content of the Toyota content type and call them camery and corola. now go over to views and create two pages, one to display Honda content types and the other to display Toyota's and name the links accordingly. that way when your users click on Honda or Toyota it displays the models on different pages. if your worried on the whole site refreshing each time they tab through just turn on views Ajax.
