Content Profiles with CCK and Views for Dummies
hi,
Read moreUnique output for each item & css depending on output
Hello all,
I was wondering if anyone knew how to generate a unique output for each item, using the tpl files.
So it would be something like this:
<?php print item1; ?>
<?php print item2; ?
<?php print item3; ?>
etc.My second question is, is it possible add if statements to the content of fields for depending which css is to be used. For example, if the taxonomy term of the field is 'Apple', it must give it a green background. If the taxonomy term is 'Strawberry', is must give it a red background.
Thanks in advance for all your thoughts on this.
Read morecalling a drupal view with argument selected by user
I'd like to let the user select a value from a dropdown list and have the selected value passed as an argument to a view, to be embedded on the same page of the dropdown. Later, the user should be able to select another value ans get another set of results.
I cannot use the url to pass the argument. any ideas ?
Thanks !
Read moreIs it bad to rely mainly on views?
With Views becoming more advanced and easier to use, and with the introduction of many helper modules for theming like Semantic Views, I find myself tending to rely mainly on views for full sites. Everything is a view: Front Page, Taxonomy Pages, Search Results. I'm wondering if this breaks Drupal core functionality.
Drupal is designed to display nodes as teasers and full nodes. With views I replace this mechanism. Of course I would still use "Promote to front Page" and "Sticky" to sort the view rows, but the outcome is just fields.
Read moreCreating a recurring event (date_field) based on another date field
I'm trying to create a Drupal site where users can register to drop something off using the Date field, and then schedule a pickup date in a specified time frame after that original date (they drop something off on Monday for example, and they can pick from a drop down to pick up on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday).
This would all then be recurring on a weekly, semi-weekly or Monthly basis.
Read moreI can't disable map zooming when inserting it into a View
Hello,
I've inserted a GMAP macro into a view but I can't manage to disable the mouse zooming. I've tried to disable it at admin/settings/gmap but it doesn't work with all the maps that I have placed into a GMAP View.
I really need to disable it, since the map has the same widht than the screen, so when someone wants to scroll down with the mouse, it makes a Zoom instead, which is really annoying and not user-friendly.
Thanks

Read moreSermon Feature
I've been messing around with the Feature module created by Development Seed for Drupal and have gotten pretty excited about it. As a result, I've released a Drupal Feature called sermon. It does what you might expect, puts together a Sermon feature to add to your drupal website. It includes all sorts of neat little bits that I'll be able to use next time I stand up a Drupal church website. I put up three this year so have had the opportunity to play with this.
Read moreViews, Blocks, and Performance
Hi. I'm trying to understand a fairly fundamental Drupal architecture aspect. The oversimplified question is: When does a views query run? But the real scenario is this:
- I create a view with a block display type -- doesn't matter what it is.
- In Admin/Blocks, I enable that view to appear in my left sidebar.
So now the view will be active in some way for any node on my site, as long as that node can display a left sidebar.
3.. In Admin/Blocks, I configure that view to only appear on pages entitled 'whatever'
Read moreShould I use workspace or create a custom view for writers?
I've been working my way through creating an article submission process through workflow, which I love and just wonder where it was 5 years ago. But now I'm working on creating a writer-facing edge on it. I've been working off of "Using Drupal," which suggests using workspace but creating a custom view doesn't like it would be that hard and would let me fine-tune the user experience.
Our writers are a mix of volunteer and paid, and are all over the board in terms of usability, so I'd like to make sure that the website speaks their language, so to speak.
