Hi Elin This is a great initiative and I'm volunteering to help as I can. Unfortunately I don't have Joomla experience myself, but lots of other PHP experience for sure.
My suggestion here would be that you start by just taking a copy of your MySQL driver and rename it as the Drizzle driver. On PHP level you will continue to use MySQLi/MySQL-ND/whichever driver. If you test this setup you will find that a lot of things will just work. For the things that don't work, if anything, please be in touch with me and I'll see what I can do to help. For an example of what you might expect, we've found that Wordpress uses the date 0000-00-00 as a sort of empty value, but Drizzle doesn't allow zero date, you have to use NULL. henrik On Sun, Oct 2, 2011 at 3:32 AM, Brian Aker <br...@tangent.org> wrote: > FYI > > Begin forwarded message: > > From: Elin Waring <elin.war...@gmail.com> > Subject: Joomla! and Drizzle > Date: September 30, 2011 3:35:09 PM PDT > To: br...@tangent.org > > Hi Brian, > My name is Elin Waring, and I'm part of the team working on the Joomla! > Platform.
