Modules are the basic structural elements of the Drupal web sites we build. As in chemistry, every one of them has specific characteristics. To help the rookies of our Drupal Community get a quick overview and the experienced site builders remember the basic modules, we created the Periodic Table of Drupal Modules. Each of the 106 most popular modules is featured it’s own square, with its name, symbol, and ranking, based on the number of downloads from Drupal.org.
The Periodic Table of Drupal Modules was introduced as a limited edition poster at DrupalCon Munich. By popular demand we decided to provide three additional versions for the community.
Wallpaper versions

After a "beerfull" bavarian night out we managed to get ourselves up and running for a beautiful second day at DrupalCon Munich. The morning keynote was held by Anke Domscheit-Berg as she took the stage to talk about the benefits of open data and how governments and citizens alike should embrace the idea as we move towards a more collaborative world of eDemocracy and eParticipation.
The day was followed by many interesting DrupalCon sessions, BoFs (Birds of Feathers) and of course the Core Conversations where the team split up to visit topics of their interest and likings, sometimes even finding themselves in the same room.
Brian Teeman (@brianteeman), Co-Founder of Joomla!, unfortunately didn't give us any insight into his newfound career as a tech-influenced fashion designer, but rather explained how the community in Joomla! works and differs from the one that we know so very well and love.
Open ears at the Day Stage heard our very own Michael Schmid (@Schnitzel), discuss development best practices with Gijs Nelissen, Sébastien Lissarrague, Venky Goteti and Florian Loretan.
Our successful contests continued throughout the day and so did the lucky recipients of our sought-after Periodic Table of Drupal Modules, this included both happy Dries Buytaert (@Dries) and Angie Byron (@webchick).
After having a continuous beer garden streak we found ourselves in a more traditional restaurant for the evening (well for me at least) because after all, it was pizza Wednesday…
Amazee Labs was out in full force today as Drupalcon Munich got underway. Our dentist blue t-shirts were an unintended hit, quite unique and hard to miss there in the second row.
The opening act was themed the "ABC's of Drupal," an alphabetized rundown of all things Drupalcon Munich. B was for "Beautiful bavarian blondes with beards."
The crowd favorite was not surprisingly F for "free beer," during which our very own Dania Gerhardt helped show everyone how to pour a proper cold one. What didn't spill on stage was handed out to the crowd for breakfast.
The most startling letter was Y for "yodeling lesson." This authentic yodeling guru belted out a classic for the crowd to echo. Every guest in the Westin woke up this morning at 9:30 whether they wanted to or not.
After our ears stopped ringing and we managed to regain our sense of direction, we shuffled outside for the official group photo, and the day began.
And so it was, day one in the books. Day two starting now...
In the Drupal universe, modules are the basic structural elements of the web sites we build. As in chemistry, every one of them has specific properties. To help the newbies of our Drupal Community get a quick overview and the experienced site builders remember the basic modules, we created the Periodic Table of Drupal Modules. Every module features it’s own square, with its name, its symbol, and its ranking, based on the number of downloads from Drupal.org.
Here we are at the first official session of Munich's DrupalCon! Michael and me are kickstarting the week with the Cxo event.
Refreshed after a short summer break this week's Essence of a web week will take a look at how the world looks through Instagram's eye, at one of the biggest lies on the internet and finally illustrate how the web never forgets. Enjoy!

Terms of Service; Didn't Read
Let us be honest Terms of Service are often accepted, while signing up, without actually being read. This website tries to break down the most popular Terms of Services on the web, in to a comprehensible overview, and gives them a classification. (via TechCrunch)
Tweets that cut through the noise.
Twitter is SO confusing.
— Jack Dorsey (@jack) September 29, 2006
This almost six year old tweet by Twitter's Executive Chairman Jack Dorsey was heavily retweeted after it was announced that the latest version of the social network's API will come with some severe restrictions.
With DrupalCon Munich a few days ahead it is only natural that we are getting team and material lined up. Being Gold Sponsors we decided to serve our friends with diamond goodies only. Here's the sneak peek preview. If you want to grab one of the scarce giveaways, make sure you follow us on Twitter. See you soon!
We are happy to announce the launch of our youngest client project: Mag20
Most things evolve democratically in Switzerland. However, we've never come across a print magazine that lets its readers vote up the stories for the next publication. Markus Bucheli's crowd sourced magazine takes exactly this approach. Every week users can submit an article on the website. If the contribution recessives enough votes via selected social media it gets published in the upcoming print edition. Profit is shared with the authors. The inaugural publication will be available on the 17th August in bigger cities of the German speaking part of our little country. mag20.com is powered by Drupal 7 and is fully responsive. Get your stories uploaded now.
We wish Markus Bucheli and his team a successful start with Mag20!
If you're earning your life as a programmer, probability is high that you have implemented AJAX calls in forms before. For example when you want an area to update when the value of a field is changed by the user. If yes, this might be of interest to you: Drupal 7 provides an awesome AJAX framework that can be used without writing any JavaScript code most of the time. A detailed overview of the framework can be found over here: http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/includes!ajax.inc/group/ajax/7
One possible use case is that a user changes a form field. You then want another field to automatically change, plus some arbitrary html on the page. Here comes the problem: you cannot return form elements and render html at the same time in the AJAX callback function. A simple solution to this problem is to actually return the form elements already rendered.
But let's first see how you implement the simple case, when you need to change only one form element:
<?php
function custom_test_ajax_form($form, $form_state) {
$form['select_box'] = array(
'#type' => 'select',
'#title' => t('Some select'),
'#options' => array(1=> t('One'), 2 => t('Two'), 3 => t('Three')),
'#default_value' => 1,
'#ajax' => array(
'callback' => 'custom_test_ajax_form_ajax_submit',
'wrapper' => 'another_select'
),
);
$form['another_select'] = array(
'#type' => 'select',
'#title' => t('Another select'),
'#options' => array(4=> t('Four'), 5 => t('Five')),
'#prefix' => '<div id="another_select">',
'#suffix' => '</div>',
);
$form['some_number'] = array(
'#markup' => '<div id="some_number"> ' . t('Some random number') . '</div>',
);
// If the form was submitted and the select box has the value 2,
// change the options of the second select.
if (isset($form_state['values']) && $form_state['values']['select_box'] == 2) {
$form['another_select']['#options'] = array(6 => t('Six'), 7 => t('Seven'), 8 => t('Eight'));
}
$form['submit'] = array(
'#type' => 'submit',
'#value' => t('Submit'),
);
return $form;
}
?>If you want to only replace the “another_select” field, you can do something like this:
<?php
function custom_test_ajax_form_ajax_submit(&$form, &$form_state) {
return array($form['another_select']);
}
?>And now, if you additionally want to put some random number in the “some_number” field, and change the page title, the previous approach will not work. So, here is the solution:
<?php
function custom_test_ajax_form_ajax_submit(&$form, &$form_state) {
drupal_set_message(t('You selected: @number', array('@number' => $form_state['values']['select_box'])));
$commands = array();
// Render the select element.
$commands[] = ajax_command_replace('#another_select', drupal_render($form['another_select']));
// Render a random number in the #some_number div.
$commands[] = ajax_command_html('#some_number', rand(0, 10000));
// Print the messages.
$commands[] = ajax_command_prepend(NULL, theme('status_messages'));
// Change the page title.
$commands[] = ajax_command_html('#page-title', t('You selected: @number', array('@number' => $form_state['values']['select_box'])));
return array('#type' => 'ajax', '#commands' => $commands);
}
?>Basically, what you have to do is, instead of returning the form element or elements, to return an array with AJAX commands. To generate the html of any form element, you can use drupal_render(). Moreover you do not need the “wrapper” attribute anymore in the “#ajax” array for the “select_box” field.
<?php
'#ajax' => array(
'callback' => 'custom_test_ajax_form_ajax_submit',
),
?>Hope that helps, should you have to kill another two birds with one stone.

By the way, by "no documentation" I´m referring to Views Autorefresh. It is either not complete or conflicting.
