My new site has been on-line for a while now, and I am pretty happy with how it works. Drupal has been a great experience so far. I have recently put another site online (The Pipe Band Association of Scandinavia) where I have done some more customizations, e.g. a custom theme (very simple, but still) and a custom content module. Check it out!

The source code for my sheet music module is now available in the downloads section. It is strictly file system based and doesn't use the Drupal database at all. It uses a cache file to avoid scanning the file system all the time. Maybe it can be of use for someone else maintaining a music archive. Enjoy!

There! The bagpipe sheet music archive has been brought back to life. It was actually easier than I thought to port it to a Drupal module. I might do a write-up on how it works later. But for now, go here for all your music pleasures.

Perhaps it is time to write a little about how I've configured this site. And to add a W00t!11one Drupal is great! Here we go:

Theme

• Pushbutton, slightly modified header display and a few CSS changes. I looked, but couldn't find any other nice, clean, and configurable themes. I will probably customize it more as time passes.

Modules

• Sheetmusic for the sheet music archive. I coded that one myself - how about that?
• Disknode for the downloads section. I also made my own content node type for this (a clone of Story, like the example in the manual).
• Image and Image_pub for the gallery. Also applied the patch from drupal.org/node/59962 to get a better sort order in the galleries.
• Textile as primary input method. It makes it so easy to include images and links without messing with cumbersome HTML tags.
• Views of course. Brilliantly flexible and easy to use as well. I use it for the Download section and the Archive block among others.

And of course I also use many of the standard modules as you can see.
