Spam: The other white meat

Updated 10/26/09: added improved url rewriting rules

So you want an easy to setup CDN that does not require much work and integrates with Drupal. Here is a quick setup to get to serve assets automatically from your Drupal files directory from S3

What you need:

• Drupal site
• Media Mover
• S3 account

Get started
Install Media Mover, enable the S3, Directory, and AutoRun modules on your admin/build/modules page. Go to admin/settings/media_mover and enter your S3 credentials.

I'm working on a project where I need to get some of my custom content into Panels. Having the Panels interface to manage things is obviously a huge boon, but I wanted to do more than create Drupal blocks- I wanted the same kind of integration that modules like Views and CCK are using.

Poking around, I didn't find much information on how to actually write your own Panels integration, so after a few fits and starts, I just started from block.inc as an example and then have abstracted it here.
