Writing Perl, SQL Scripts to Load Drupal Data

When launching a new Drupal site, it's frequently necessary to import data from a legacy system or existing site. This requires a knowledge of programming, SQL and Drupal data structures.


In a project to develop a job search site, we needed to use official data from a government site which lists job vacancies. Using a combination of shell scripting, wget, perl and sql, we were able to load the data reliably into Drupal, including several taxonomies.

Image Manipulation with Imagemagick and Gimp

Imagemagick is a free software suite of command line programs to create, edit, and compose bitmap images. GIMP is a freely distributed piece of software for such tasks as photo retouching, image composition and image authoring.


An e-commerce site with thousands of product images needs to provide a visual cue for the size of the product.
Drupal Faceted Search Module

Allows users to browse content in such a way that they can rapidly get acquainted with the scope and nature of the content, and never feel lost in the data. More than a search interface, this is an information navigation and discovery tool.
