Playing with Drupal 7

I’ve been playing with Drupal 7, creating mock-ups, so that I might move the company website to it when it’s released and so far am impressed with the improvements made.

First and foremost is CCK integration. No longer do I need to install 4 or 5 additional modules just to be able to add images that are automatically adjusted to whatever size to content, it’s all built-in! Even better is that fields can now be added to taxonomy terms so I won’t need a hack to have a picture for taxonomy terms anymore.

The Drupal 7 version of Views is looking pretty good too, though it isn’t fully functional.

One area that is lacking is a guide to creating a Drupal 7 theme from scratch. This needs to be addressed desperately unless the powers that be plan on only making use of those of us who created themes for Druapl 6 and took the time to migrate them Drupal 7.

All up, a positive experience so far.
