Theming a Views Post Date With Drupal 7 ("Date in Parts") In my last blog post I showed how to theme a node post date to make it look more designed and themed.
Essentially, this is taking your static date and breaking it up into parts, i.e. day, month, and year, each with its own seperate span tags. I'll take it one step further this time, and show how to do the same thing with a View. This assumes you are using the Views Module, and a use case would be if you want to display a feed of items with titles and teasers such as blog posts or news. You will be able to use the same styles as you did in the original post, so it's just a question of outputting the right information from Views. This involves a little rewriting of Views output, which is pretty straight forward. What's Needed / Steps For this tutorial, it would be good to have a basic knowledge of Drupal Views, so you will need the Views Module as well as the Token Modules installed and enabled, and of course Drupal 7. Where the Magic Happens. RIP Taxonomy Module in Drupal 7. I have come to the conclusion that the Taxonomy Module is not necessary in Drupal 7 for the vast majority of situations.
While there is a lot of built-in functionality and a pre-built view for Taxonomy, the module makes too many assumptions about the way content categorization should function. And overriding the pre-built view for taxonomy terms is never as straightforward as I would like. The last few Drupal 7 sites we have built I have not used Taxonomy at all. Fixed List Categorization The most common scenario when taxonomy is used is for a fixed list of terms to select from when a node is created. If the list of terms are unlikely to change or the end-user/client doesn’t need to add terms, a simple select list field works great (for example, categorizing by state).

Must-Have Drupal Modules for Improving Your Site Builds. One of the biggest hurdles when developing a website in Drupal is the initial setup and configuration.
Out of the box, Drupal isn’t exactly "end-user friendly". If you’re like me, and you need to set up sites with a non-developer end-user in mind, there is a lot of face lifting that needs to be done before Drupal is presentable in a simple, easy-to-learn way. Below, you’ll find some recommended Drupal modules that will extend the core installation in order to make content management easier for site owners as well as, you, the developer who builds sites using Drupal. Background I tend to use Acquia Drupal (a free packaged installation of Drupal) on all of my sites.
I noticed patterns in most of the sites I set up, so I created an installation profile to streamline the configuration process. Top 50 Drupal 7 Modules. Jay Callicott | Product Manager, Lead Architect.
Using TableField in Drupal 7. The TableField module implements a custom field that allows users to attach tabular data to any content page/entity type.
Data can be entered into the table manually or imported via a CSV upload. The amount of rows and columns can be configured globally on an entity type or on a per node basis. The field can also be configured to allow users to export the tabular data as a CSV file.
