Content organization in Drupal

Our university is moving our site to Drupal and I wanted to see if anyone had recommendations for organizing content.

Currently, the problem I'm having is that we have nodes of information that will be in different parts of the site and have the same title, but different information.

Drupal 6 with bigint as nid.. billions of nodes.. or offload to mongo?

I'm looking at a potential issue that we might be facing soon in one of our game backend servers where we have over a million + or so users hitting the server daily and buying assets in our game and doing other game related things.

Right now when buying an asset it gets inserted as a node and content type with cck, well we where discussing the other day that int(11) only goes up to about 2 billion+ nodes and while this is a lot for most sites we can easily reach that in a month or so and also as our customer base grows.

Support: How to Theme Node Details Using Context?

I'm trying to alter the way node detail pages look, using the Context article_detail_page. My main goal is to display the article's main photo above the headline, not below, which is the default. How do I accomplish this - perhaps Context is not even the right area.

Selecting blocks from a node

The main content area has

  • left sidebar
  • main content
  • right sidebar

The left and right sidebar will have a default block assigned. However, I'd like to expose a drop-down menu where the user can select specific blocks for each node page. This selection will override or replace the default block.

Right now I'm managing this via the blocks page using path assignments, but the UI/paradigm context shift out of nodes when leaving a node to find the appropriate block and update the active viewing paths is jarring for new users.

As always, thanks!

View that shows all terms, with or without associated nodes

Using Drupal 7.8, Views 3.0

I have a node type; "Career Postings" which has an associated taxonomy "Department."

Some terms will be empty. However, I'd like to show all terms. I.e.,;

Admininstration

There are currently no positions open <-- there are no career postings associated with this term

Sales

Eastern Regional Sales Associate

Manufacturing

There are currently no positions open <-- there are no career postings associated with this term

etc.

View access to field in a referenced node

I am new to Drupal, but I do have a programming background, and have Drupal admin experience.
I have been able to put together some basic views so far.

I am working on a Room Reservation type site in D7 for our intranet and I want to put together a view that shows the

reservation event title, date/time, room#, building

The only problem I am have is getting access to the building. The building is referenced on the Room content type.

Room Res -> Room -> Building

Is it possible to gain access to a field on a referenced node?

Thanks all

Diferentes CSS por tipo de contenido o vistas Drupal7

Buenas! tengo un duda!

Tengo diferentes tipos de contenido, en Drupal 7 (blog, galerias, paginas, index, por ejemplo).
Hay un archivo css, compartido pero otro especifico a cada tipo de contenido, aca esta el problema
ya que si lo hago en el template_preprocess_node, hay ciertas paginas que no pasan por ese metodo,
como la de 404 o la de users. Igual sucede si verifico en el html.tpl.php, la varible $node->type no esta
entonces no puede hacer los condicionales por ahi tampoco. Ademas que si es una vista, tampoco pasa
por ese proceso.

Importing and manipulating the (semantic) data in Drupal

Dear members of the Semantic Web & Views development,

I have been playing with the idea of using Drupal as rapid development environment for (semantic) web applications, rather than CMS. The idea is not as far-fetched as it may seem at first:

  1. CCK allows me to define a database model. Core functionality in D7.
  2. Feeds parser lets me to pre-fill the data in nodes defined in step 1 - including the possibility to fetch data at regular intervals, update nodes and drop old nodes.
  3. RDF-related functionality allows me to associate the data saved in pre-defined nodes with ontology terms.
  4. Views allow mixing of data from different node types
  5. It is also possible to programatically define data (e.g. automatically fill in a field) both in the node and in the View
  6. Finally, there are plenty of modules that let me do just about anything with the data once I have it in nodes & views. Some exampels include e.g. visualization on a map, and setting up a web server (SOAP, REST, ...) that exposes my data to the outside world.
