As one of the largest exclusive Drupal agencies in India and having trained close to 200 employees over its 10 year history we are probably one of the very few Drupal firms in India in a position to take this effort that could in turn help a lot of other Drupal companies. We are looking to compile and publish our Drupal Training Curriculum in an effort to come up with a standard approach towards training developers in Drupal companies. We are looking to complete this exercise by March 31, 2016 and will be publishing the learning objectives, syllabus and curriculum under GFDL license.

For a client who owns an active Drupal 6 website, Drupal 8 promises a whole lot of opportunities. Although we know that Drupal 6 can cater to everything that is needed to create a platform that fits our requirement, Drupal 8 offers the extra edge which allows us to build something faster and more stable. And this is the key for any modernized platform. In this respect, it is likely that Drupal 8 provides a much easier transition to a great working site. Advantages for Webmasters:

You can upload these small object parts independently. If transmission of any part is not succeed, you can retransmit it without affecting other parts. Amazon S3 combines all the parts and make a single object after all the parts are uploaded.

As we all know, the official support from Drupal.org for Drupal 6 is going to cease and the security updates will no longer be available. However, there is no reason to get upset; in fact, there is nothing in the code that will cause Drupal 6 site to stop functioning after February 24th, 2016. If you choose to keep running the code, it will run as long as your hosting company allows to do so. Then, why would anybody want their website to be migrated to Drupal 8 ? The answer is quite simple, nobody wants to stay behind. It's actually a step forward.

Migrating content to a Drupal site is usually a painless experience because Drupal is quite well structured. Even if we were to move the content from non-Drupal database to Drupal database without the help of any API or migrating services, all that is required is to understand the database structures of both sites and then write a series of SQL queries that copies the content from any non-Drupal database to Drupal database; which can be done by any above average Drupal developer.

The term ‘Migrate’ in the context of Drupal means re-creating the content and configuration of a source site (usually Drupal 6 or Drupal 7) in a new Drupal 8 installation. In earlier versions of Drupal, the common practice was to provide an upgrade path. i.e., update the code to the latest version and then upgrade the database structure according to the code. Once it is done, the content is updated separately.

Come 24 February 2016 and Drupal 6 will reach its end-of-life and will no longer have active community support. The newly-launched Drupal 8 and Drupal 7 will be the community’s focus and Drupal 6 will not receive security updates which are so important for the functioning of a website. It will also be a prudent move not to launch a new project with Drupal 6 and get stuck with a soon-to-be-obsolete Drupal version.

One day my client came to me and asking about something which I was not so familiar of. His requirement can be simply put like this. He has an amazon account and have couple of S3 buckets. He has created a new S3 bucket and a new user. He needs this user to only access this new bucket. Let's call this user "new-user" and the bucket "new-bucket". I was not sure how to do this, but eventually I was able to. Read on if you want to know how to do this.

In one of my recent project I had a task to create a content type with a select list field of all image styles. But how can we get all image styles in Drupal? In Drupal there is an option to create different image styles using a module 'image'. Image module allows users to upload images into Drupal with proper permissions along with this its thumbnails and additional sizes are created automatically. Image module also gives an image_styles() function that can be used to get all image styles and their settings.

Finding the best of anything is always a tricky question especially if you are likely to have a bias in the decision and the decision is a subjective one. So we are not going to try to answer the question about which is the best Drupal company in India. Instead we can easily list out three of the oldest Drupal companies in India and let you make a call on which of these suites your requirements best. I have to add a disclaimer that we are the second oldest exclusive Drupal company in India.
