Drupal Modules

The second DrupalModules.com Drupalcon ticket contest has arrived, and this time I’m giving away over $1000 worth of free tickets!

Three pairs of tickets to Drupalcon San Francisco 2010 are up for grabs, and there's two ways to win:

1. Fill in this contest entry form. Two winners will be randomly selected from this group.

2. Help spread the word! Make a post on Twitter or your blog with a link back to this contest, then fill in the contest bonus entry form. I'll be giving away a bonus pair of tickets to one lucky person from this group.

Rules: You can enter both ways to increase your odds! One entry per method, per person. By entering this contest you agree to the official rules.

The contest ends February 28th. Winners will be announced March 1st, 2010.

I've updated the module pages to display color-coded downloads, to make it easier to see which releases are "recommended" and which are still in "development".

I've also fixed a number of small bugs, including a problem with Module Finder displaying old results.

If you spot any problems, let me know in the forum.

The Drupalcon ticket contest is over, and the winners are: Antti Immonen and Israel Elizarraraz Vidals! They'll both be receiving a pair of tickets to Drupalcon SF!

If you didn't win, stay tuned, another contest will be announced shortly!

Over the last week, I've been setting up a new server for DrupalModules.com. Today, the new server goes live! If you're seeing this message, the switch was successful. If you're seeing anything unusual, try clearing your cache.

The new server has roughly twice the processing power of the old one. I've also been working on optimizing some of the code that runs behind the scenes.

Overall, my benchmarks show page generation times have improved 500% to 1000%! For example, it used to take almost 1000ms to render the "most downloaded" page. Now it takes about 120ms. Logged in users will notice the biggest improvements.

Module Finder also received another code overhaul, and now processes search queries about 8 times faster than it did before, pushing most searches into the single-digit millisecond range.

A lot of things have changed with this upgrade, so if you spot any problems, please report them in the forum.
