Drupal around the world

I wanted to take a moment to point out two items of mention related to Drupal from the past week.

First, congratulations to the United Nations World Food Programme, which recently relaunched their website in Drupal! Congratulations as well to both Phase2 Technology and Workshop friend Development Seed for the outstanding job on this beautiful and functional website.

WFP's new Drupal-based website

I had the privilege of working with the WFP a few years ago in preparation for Walk the World 2005. The website for that project was one of the very first Drupal sites that I programmed on (having administered a few before that). I'm glad to see that Drupal has made inroads into the WFP's structure all the way to the top since then, allowing them to maintain this great new website and further their humanitarian efforts around the world.

The other bit of info is about Drupalcon this March in Washington, DC. Today, the final ticket was sold, and the attendee count will be 1,300 people! The tentative session list, based on submitted proposals, is now out. I hope to be involved in presenting two sessions, my own proposed Beyond The Web: Drupal Meets The Desktop (And Mobile), which is likely to become a panel presentation on the topic, and Miglius Alaburda's Introducing a new File Framework, which is likely to become a joint session on file handling in Drupal. I also hope to be releasing a new Drupal module in the next week or two in these areas, so stay tuned.

The amount of momentum around Drupal right now is pretty astounding!

Rename folder with file framework

Submitted by jorquin on April 14, 2009.

Hi.

I was watching the conference video about file framework and web dav, and now I have a question. How I can do to rename a folder whit fframework? I have a view with File browser, but I need change the name of the folder with ajax, that is posible without go to taxonomy terms?

Thanks in advance

With the framework, in most

With the framework, in most cases, implementations that use it (like the browser or the WebDAV tools that I've been working on) are providing folders as a metaphor for the organizational structure the files are in, typically taxonomy. So they're not meant to be renamed in those interfaces, only to have their content changed. For example, in File Relations Server, rename is only supported on files in order to rename file nodes, not the folders.

If you need to rename folders, I'm afraid you'd probably have to write a custom module for taxonomy management. For that, you don't really even need File Framework, either.

in most cases,
