Drupal 7.0 Alpha 1 Diluncurkan

arithok's picture

Hampir sekitar dua tahun drupal 7 sudah mulai dibangun, akhirnya 15 Januari 2010 kemarin secara resmi keluarga Drupal 7.x diluncurkan. Meski ini baru tahap awal peluncuran berupa versi alpha 1, namun kehadirannya pasti ditunggu-tunggu para pengguna dan pengembang Drupal, dan tentunya yang dinanti-nanti adalah apa yang baru, what's new, mengingat di drupal 6, fitur-fitur yang tersedia sudah cukup canggih.

 

Berikut daftar rincian singkat apa yang baru di drupal 7 ini dari situs resminya :

Revamped User Interface
An incredible amount of work has gone into improving the user experience and administration interface. The new administration theme "Seven", the overlay module, the dashboard and the configurable shortcut bar, all lead to a much more user-friendly interface. In-place editing is enabled for blocks and nodes by default, so modifying the content of a site becomes much simpler.

Custom Fields
Drupal 7 bundles in the ability to add custom fields, similar in functionality to the Content Construction Kit (CCK) module. However, fields are no longer limited only to content types; they can be added to users, taxonomy terms, and other entities. Fields also have support for translations.

Image Handling
Drupal 7 brings native image handling to core. Image fields may be added to content, and have image styles applied to them, such as scaling, cropping, and other effects.

Update Manager
Building on Drupal 6's Update module, which keeps site administrators informed when new module and theme releases are available, the new Update Manger module can also install and upgrade modules and themes.

Front-end "under-the-hood" improvements
A new render API allows for highly granular theming, core template files have been revamped to provide more semantic markup, Drupal 7 now has built-in RDFa support, includes jQuery UI and a new AJAX framework, and a new core theme "Stark" which exposes Drupal's markup directly for those who want to dive in and start theming.

In addition, Drupal 7 has several major accessibility enhancements, making it the most accessible release of Drupal to date!

Back-end "under-the-hood" improvements
A revamped database layer resolving nearly all limitations in the Drupal 6 database layer, automated testing framework, new PHP stream-based file API that supports private and public files simultaneously, revamped node access system, new hooks for more flexible system interaction, an Entity API, a job queue API, and many, many, many more improvements

Drupal 7 is also the most scalable release to date, with features such as built-in proxy server support, advanced caching techniques, and Content Delivery Network support for static files.

Rasa penasaran yang besar, langsung saja saya mencoba untuk menggunakannya, minimal incip-incip dulu walaupun masih dalam tahap test, mengingat ini belum versi final. Setelah berhasil mengunduhnya, saya langsung baca-baca bagaimana cara instalasinya. Berikut hasil kecil test awal menggunakan drupal 7 alpha 1 ini. (walaupun belum sampai selesai dan terhenti ditengah jalan).

Untuk instalasinya, cukup save as file default.settings.php menjadi settings.php. Otomatis file itu terbentuk di tempat yang sama di

..\sites\default\.

Lalu jalankan file instalasinya, misalnya

http://localhost/drupal7/install.php.

Berikut adalah gambar-gambar saat melakukan proses instalasi drupal 7 alpha 1


Proses instalasi awal ada dua pilihan, standard dan minimal

Pilihan bahasa baru satu jenis yaitu English

Setting untuk database name di drupal 7 dilakukan saat instalasi berlangsung

detail setting untuk database

Error saat proses instalasi berlangsung

Proses instalasi saya terhenti ketika proses memasuki instalasi profile. Hanya ada keterangan error saat mengaksesnya, entah server terlalu sibuk atau apa, ini yang saya belum tahu. Dari tabel-tabel yang terbentuk di databasenya, ada 38 table dan berhenti di table variable. Saya coba ubah memory_limit menjadi 100M, lalu restart apache dan mysql, namun masih sama juga, proses instalasi juga terhenti. Ada rekan-rekan yang sudah mencobanya? Saya menggunakan XAMPP versi 1.7.0.

Monggo silakan dicoba dengan menggunakan web server lain selain XAMPP. Kita tunggu perkembangan versi drupal 7 selanjutnya, barangkali hal ini sudah di fix (saya sudah kirim laporan bug ke drupal.org). Saya akan terus ikuti perkembangan drupal 7 dan share di blog ini, selain tentunya drupal 6 tetap akan dilanjutkan. Download drupal 7.0 alpha 1 silakan akses http://drupal.org/drupal-7.0-alpha1. Selamat mencoba :).

  • Drupal 7 now ships with jQuery 1.4.2 and jQuery UI 1.8.

  • Bug where IE quits displaying any CSS after 31+ stylesheets now fixed.
  • The "Add" link now shows up for blocks. :P

I am currently developing a

I am currently developing a website using Drupal on a Windows XP Professional machine running WAMP (Windows/Apache/MySQL/PHP) software server. I got my own free domain from godaddy.com during a promotional period that they had. I wanted to try and run my website hosting in my computer to link to my domain (from godaddy). What's the procedure? My Internet connection is from Cox Cable running 15mbpsDL/2mbpsUL. It will not going to be a traffic website, it's more like I'm building a website for practice purpose but also wanted to practice on hosting it to the internet. I know that webhosting services from other companies will do it, but I just wanted to host my own server because this is just for practice purpose. But once I launch a more-commercial website then I will consider hosting it somewhere else.
