There is an important correction to be made to the top-selling Drupal book, the Definitive Guide to Drupal 7.

Agaric is Not Hiring (but for you, we might make an exception)

+1 to Ending comment-to-subscribe on Drupal.org

As starving authors we at Agaric don't have a lot of cash to burn right now, but we've thrown $25 in the project to make it possible to subscribe to drupal.org issues without commenting. (On top of whatever we donated when this request for funding went out a year and a half ago).

Drupal Work Collectives

Agaric proposes the creation of a new kind of workplace, essentially a Drupal commune, but really more like an open source free software idea & brainstorming commune, kind of along the same lines as an artist's or writer's colony.

We're Writing a Book!

Yes it's true, for the past few months we've been hard at work with a lot of other co-authors on The Definitive Guide to Drupal 7.

Agaric?

What the word agaric means and why Agaric took it for our cooperative's name.

Designed to Life

Functionality designed to your life is the Agaric Design signature. Utilizing open source, free software from around the world, Agaric Design websites are impeccably crafted with a modern, sophisticated and understated spirit.

The Story on Agaric

I've always had a passion for good design and healthy coding, even back in the days of owning a web site cart in downtown Natick. Back then, my business partner and I made all natural HTML roll-up web sites and, as an incentive for customers to wait in line, we baked Drupal into different flavored designs.

Shortening Sequential Lists

In Other Words can also shorten sequential lists by skipping over the items in the middle of the sequence. For example, if the following full list is available:

Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday

And a content author selects the following from them:

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday

The In other words: Sequential terms formatter can be configured to interpret this and output:

Monday through Thursday.

It even accounts for breaks between sequential items. For example:

Monday through Thursday and Saturday.

And if you want to get real fancy, you can group terms together under a single label, such as interpreting Saturdays and Sundays as "the weekend".

Finally, you can have In Other Words output a single phrase if all items are selected. For example, "All Days".

Do so by using the In Other Words: Sequential terms field formatter, which supports term reference fields.
