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?

I'm trying to set up a newspaper site that utilizes images well. I want to be able to upload images inline, but also use those same images elsewhere in galleries, etc...

Ideally, it would be best that the images are nodes.

There is a similar discussion on this that mentions using Node reference to accomplish this. Can someone walk me through how I can do this, if this is the best way to do this?

Also, I need the image to have a captions and photographer credits.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Is there a way to configure a Views block to not show the first story in a list?

Lets say, for example, I have a block set up to show all the stories in a given Taxonomy. But I want to exclude the first story from that list because I'm using that in a QuickTab, and I don't want redundancy.

Is there a way to set Views to show stories #2-10, and not story #1?

I appreciate any answers. I think I'm close to doing what I need to do with Drupal and only have a few more stumbling blocks to get around.

Why image appears under the heading should be above the heading, some one help me please, im use drupal 6, imagefield, image cache

Maybe I'm just not getting it, and it's really simple, but I'm lost here.

Lets say I set up either a Category or a Taxonomy vocabulary for Sports. I have a node, we'll say it's node 10, which I have mapped as Sports.

How do I create a story, and get it to appear on just the Sports node? I'm beating my head up against a wall here, and I think I'm just missing what's probably a very simple answer.

Any help would be appreciated.

We wrote code for Drupal 5/Ubercart 1.x to implement Classified Ads that could be purchased online and are then copied by Customer Service Reps for print publication. The parts that deal with print aspects could, of course, be skipped for an online-only system.

The basic elements:

1. The custom module: 'our_classifieds.module'
2. Product Nodes
   • Taxonomy
   • Attributes
3. jQuery snippets
4. Requires custom_price module (uc_custom_price)

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.

Hi,

I want to make a theme that can display the same front page theme layout for some categories/links .

For instance the site will have News categories like local, national, international, business,etc. Each menu link to these should display the same home front page format. And news promoted to front page to these categories should move to the corresponding front pages.

Any ideas, inputs to achieve this will be highly appreciated.

Thanks a lot.

Hi, I'm a brand new guy, just getting his first look at Drupal. There are some things I am wondering about.

I am designing a website for a community newspaper, a daily, and am interested in Drupal as a CMS solution. Our site has the following feaures, or will have in the near future...

About 12 news categories including local news, sports, entertainment, blogs, etc...
About 50 subcategories. For example news -> World News
Classifieds
Photo Galleries
Social Networking, commenting on stories, etc.
Reader Blogging
Video blogs
Paid premium content
