5 Undermined Drupal Modules I have utilized - Geshan's Blog There are lots of Drupal Modules, some are great, some need improvement, some have a long issue queue but here is a short list of five undermined Drupal Modules. I suggest these modules will come handy in a relatively big Drupal site with need of multiple content type and frequent updating. The list is given below hope you also benefit from using the modules mentioned below as I have:PathAuto: as the name clarifies itself its a module that gives automatic path to your content type/node submission. Ext Link: is short for external link, is a very straight forward yet useful module. External links with icon indicating its an external link is also considered a good UI (User Interface) practice. Scheduler: is a module that lets you schedule the date and time to publish your draft nodes. Its also handy to publish notices or greetings of festivals or any important things that you can't afford to forget on time. Poormanscron: is a good module to make your cron jobs run at specific intervals.

Planet Drupal In this article we are going to look at implementing the Facebook Open Graph (OG) tags on a Drupal site. It involves a bit of coding but nothing too major so bear with me. All the code we are going to write goes into the theme's template.php file so no need to to create a module for it. And if your theme does not yet have this file, go ahead and create it. Why use Open Graph tags? I'm sure by now you know that people share pages on Facebook and you want your site to be shared as much as possible. But have you ever noticed that with some sites, when you share pages on Facebook, or like/recommend them, some random, unintented image gets used in this teaser. What are the Open Graph meta tags? These are simple <meta> tags that you put in the head of your site to specify which elements should be used by Facebook for various purposes. The tag is quite simply structured. Simple. The first one is the canonical URL for the page, the second is the site title and the third is the type of site.

planete drupalfr 7 well designed Drupal Sites - Geshan's Blog Drupal theming is not as easy was it look. Drupal theming system is very flexible and robust but as the no. of modules increase the no. of CSS (Cascading Style Sheet) files also go up this causes problems in theming. The multitude of modules you use can be hard for the themer and changes in last moment is difficult to tackle. For standard compliant browser's like Firefox and with use of Firebug theming might not be too hard but IE spoils the soup with all unpredictable output. On top of it the problems attached with fluid layout is a CSS designer's nightmare. 1. (Try some Lemon Water :-D) 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. (Last but not the least) See the sites, see the HTML source of the above sites and use some firebug to know the intricate CSS details :-).

Create a Test Site Production site: The live website where all your web visitors go.Test site: A copy of your live site, at a different URL, where you can make experimental changes without affecting your live site Drupal and its modules are in pretty constant development. So things are changing pretty fast and sometimes not completely documented. Here's how I built a completely parallel site on my hosted, shared server account. First I need to mention some things about my site, so the rest of this article makes sense: My site is called bewise.comit's hosted on a shared serverI have shell access to my hosted files. All of this is pretty standard stuff, but you may have to make a few changes to this process if your site is set up differently. Make a new (empty) database, and name it mydb_testCopy your prod db into mydb_testCopy all of your prod files (from public_html) into your test directoryMake three settings changes to connect the test site to the test dbMake changes to your test site.

A Recipe for a Rapid Drupal Site--Part I, Gathering Your Resourc Building a Drupal site can be done very quickly and inexpensively under the right circumstances. You need no programming or CSS skills and limited skills using FTP as long as you are willing to make compromises. Yesterday, my wife and I launched Trauma Adoption after about a week of effort in the evenings. There is still more to do on the site, but it was very quick to put together. First, some assumptions. We will use a contributed Drupal themeWe will use only contributed Drupal modulesThe extent of "custom" work will extend to using CCK and ViewsWe will live with what Drupal outputs out of the box The steps... A) Obtain a domain and secure hosting. B) Sketch out what you want the site to do and the main areas that people will go to. What we have here is user roles/experience at the most basic level. C) Gather your resources! Drupal 6.x From the Modules section on Drupal.org: Get yourself a contributed theme from Drupal.org's Theme Repository.
Administration Menu Provides a theme-independent administration interface (aka. navigation, back-end). It's a helper for novice users coming from other CMS, a time-saver for site administrators, and useful for developers and site builders. Administrative links are displayed in a CSS/JS-based menu at the top on all pages of your site. It not only contains regular menu items — tasks and actions are also included, enabling fast access to any administrative resource your Drupal site provides. Showcase and Quality Assurance Test-drive in various themes on the demonstration site or watch a short demo reel or a installation tutorial video. Behaviour and Integration Works in all themes and all browsers.Exposes all administration links including all tabs/tasks and actions to provide direct access to any page.Extensible with add-on features by other modules.
