Blocks: wrong word?
There may have been discussion about this before, but I'm not aware of it. I know there's a similar discussion about the word "node."
Something I like to do just to see how "usable" my site is, is to watch someone register and try to use the site without giving them any help. I was doing this the other day, and a user went to edit her profile. Everything was fine until she got down to the section where you can enable or disable blocks; she just skipped it. I asked why, and she said she was confused; she thought "blocks" would "block" information.
Dynamic Block
I'm hoping to get some help from the group on this. My last request was a little off the Drupal Subject, this one should do a little better.
I'm developing a site for an Applied Technology College that have a Jobs section where jobs will be posted and associated with each program. I'd then like each program to display a block with all of the jobs pertaining to that program. Any ideas? I thought this would be something very straight-forward, but it's not as easy as I thought.
Display RSVP form with Event
Hi all,
I'm rather new to Drupal, and I am trying to figure out how to display an RSVP accept/decline form on the event details page. Does this feature exist within the RSVP module itself, or is there a way to create a block containing this form?
Dropping Block regions from panels generated page
Jared, Shawn and I were talking this weekend about panels and themes. The question of eliminating blocks from your theme when using a panel came up. I couldn't find the code for this, but just go it from one of my engineers:
// Hide sidebars on panel pages
if (function_exists('panels_is_panels_page') && $vars['panels_page'] = panels_is_panels_page()) {
$vars['sidebar_left'] = '';
$vars['sidebar_right'] = '';
$body_classes[] = 'panels_page';
} Mostra a contribuição mais recente de uma taxonomy
Tudo bom pessoal?
Gostaria de saber como listar apenas o artigo mais recente de uma determinada Taxonomy, em um bloco. A aparência deve ser exatamente como um teaser de artigo na página inicial, ou seja, tem que ter título, o "enviado por", o teaser, e os links depois do teaser.
Alguém pode me ajudar com isso?
Drag Drop and Sort API
Synopsis
Drupal stresses ease of use. To that end, I will be submitting an API to offer dragging, dropping, and sorting functionality to modules. This will greatly enhance not only the ease of making changes to the user interface, but also the development of associated drop and drag projects. To highlight the abilities of the API, I will also be creating a module to drag and drop blocks.
Project details
Two important issues to trade reviews (IMO)
http://drupal.org/node/92630 - THIS one is the biggest usability issue I've come across and we have a great simple fix, just needs some momentum behind it and needs it fast! It's got Steven's stamp of approval but needs some more voices.
http://drupal.org/node/104763 - Define page and story in default.profile. This patch also changes page's workflow to not promote to front page and have comments disabled.
The most expensive core query
According to my devel module logs and lots of watching the query lists, the query that costs us the most in all of Drupal core is this one:
SELECT DISTINCT b.* FROM blocks b LEFT JOIN blocks_roles r ON b.module = r.module AND b.delta = r.delta WHERE b.theme = S AND b.status = D
Let the brainstorming begin; what can we do to improve it? Are there enough indexes? Can we avoid the DISTINCT? Are there other options?
