Styling Webform Blocks

Posted in
by Mike

We've had a lot of emails about our simple but effective webform block module over the past year. It's great to know it has filled a gap for a lot of Drupal users out there.

One of the common questions we keep getting is about how we styled up the webform to look like our Ixis contact form in the footer of all our site pages.

The answer is simple: adding container tags around sets of the form fields is all you need! This is achieved by adding some additional form API attributes called #prefix (before the content) and #suffix (after the content).

New Year, New Staff

Posted in
by Mike

We kicked off the new year with expansion in our web development team to meet the never ending increase in Drupal demand.

During the last 12 months we were turning down work because the team was fully booked every month with client projects, and 2010 has already brought a wave of new clients for both the development and hosting services, so the team expansion could not come at a better time.

The content management platform Drupal powers 100% of Ixis' projects, and has seen a huge increase in adoption from small to International organisations across the world. This growing buzz has lead to a staggering increase in Drupal specific work leads on a daily basis for us here at Ixis IT.

If you're actually wondering what #027AC6 is, it's the colour hex code for a certain shade of blue, that of the open source framework Drupal. 2009 was a great year for us, with Drupal now accounting for over 75% of our revenue.

We want PHP/Drupal Developers

Posted in
by Mike

After another successful year in the land of Drupal we're pleased to be expanding the development team here at Ixis. We're on the look out for two developers to join us on-site in our Daresbury office in the UK. Your work will be based at our new office and travel to clients is not required.

We work in a relaxed and informal environment, where the ability to manage your time and work load independently is important. You'll often be involved in several projects at the same time, although you may be responsible for a website from start to finish depending on work load.

Le Tour de Drupal

Posted in
by Chris

On the lead up to Drupalcon Paris in September two insane Drupal developers from the UK are planning to make the 300K journey from London to Paris through the power of pedals.

Chris Maiden of North West based Menus & Blocks will be making the trek to Paris on his Brompton, a bike that folds to the size of a large carrier bag, has 16" wheels and only 3 gears.

Although it's a lot of fun (maybe!), they're hoping to raise at least £1000 for the Meningitis Trust, it's going to be quite a challenge and your donations to help fuel the pedaling power!

by Mike

Drupal 6 is seeing some great handy modules being released over the last few months. With the sheer amount of projects being created on drupal.org its a job in itself to keep up with whats already out there. We're increasingly finding there's a module for "that" when a project needs something.

Drupalicon Winners

Posted in
by Mike

The quick reactions of some members of the Drupal community a couple of weeks ago ensured they bagged themselves a little blue Drupalicon of their own in our giveaway.

We're pleased to announce that Jonathan, John, Amye, Amanda, Oliver, and Karoly all sent a winning message via our contact form. The winners spanned the globe, from the UK and France, to Africa, Canada, and the USA.

As mentioned in a previous blog post, an attendee at Drupalcamp UK built a nifty Drupalicon tracking map to see how far they have travelled. We're hoping the winners will add themselves to the map soon!
