Panels caching on d6
We're getting close to relaunching our site (information.dk - see http://drupal.org/information.dk) on Drupal 6. We're still using panels. This time it the SUPER panels3 for D6. However we have one concern and that is speed.
On d5 we used panels_preempt, but right now there seems to be no other cache for Panels 3 than Drupals page cache or panels3's simple cache. Have any of you got an alternative?
Read moreTheming a node several ways
Theming a node in the node.tpl.php only gives you to options, full page view or teaser! What do you do, if you want to theme the same node in several different ways depending on what region the node is shown in?
The thing I'm trying to do is, to have a node (an article) be a top story in the "Top story" region one day, and another story in another region the other. That is, I want to be able to theme a node differently depending on region.
I would like to do it in node.tpl.php, but as I see it, there are no variables available in a node that can tell you what region the node is in.

Hey all,
I've seen a few services on the web that offer a widget or plugin to a web site to automatically populate the show times for a particular area. Fandango, to mention one.
The newspaper site I'm building needs to have film listings available on it, and currently, all we are doing is copying and pasting the show times from our paper into our CMS (non-Drupal as of now), and we need to update those same files each week for the films coming up. Ya, not a classy way to show events.
Read moreMulti Views, Multi Pagers
Hi there... I am flummoxed by a Multi Views Multi Pagers (one view embedded in the other) problem (Views 2, Drupal 6):
I am working on a magazine site. We have Issues, and Issues have Articles. I have created a view that lists Articles based on the related Issue (one at a time, with a pager). I have created another View that lists Issue's Covers (one at a time, with a pager), and used a .tpl file to embed the list_articles view.
Read moreArchive Ique to drupal archive?
Hello Everyone,
We are moving our newspaper site to drupal 6 and I would like to add our entire archive of stories from our Archive Ique to our new Drupal archive as well. Has anyone here had any experience with this or other transfer options? I am somewhat new to drupal so any tips on creating the archive, transferring stories from Baseview/Mediaspan archive, or the like would be so helpful. I am glad to be a part of this group and will post a writeup on our methods, setup, modules, success and pitfalls after this whole process is done. Lots o' learnin to do yet. Thanks Eric.
Help with Magazine Issue contents page
I'm having difficulty getting my head round using the node reference field and views
What I want is to have a contents page for a magazine issue with the contents displayed underneath it.
So far, I have a content type 'Issue' and content type 'Magazine article' and the magazine article has a node reference content field allowing the relevant Issue node to be selected.
But I am stuck on having the contents displayed when ever the Issue node is displayed.
Any advice on this?
I think it might be a views query but how do I have that as part of the Issue content type?

Read moreWorkflow for Blog/Portal
Hello,
I'd like to build a blog network with Drupal. Is there any module that complishes a simple workflow like this:
- contributors blog articles in their blog;
- anyone can comment, author can edit, (editor may have some private discussion about the article);
- editor select an article and display it on homepage, author can no longer edit this post.
If nothing like that exists, is there any combination to do that easily ?
Thanks in advance.
Read moreDrupal base - v6 or v5
Hi there,
I am putting together a website for a college newspaper. I am set on using Drupal as my CMS, but it appears that many newspaper-related modules have not been updated for Drupal 6 -- most notably, Panels. Is there a way to use these modules on Drupal 6, or should I base my site on Drupal 5. I'm a relatively advanced developer but am new to Drupal - I apologize if I have overlooked something.
Thanks!
