administration

In the earlier versions of Drupal many administrators and or Content managers have been stuck with either running queries on the database manually or going through by hand to change the text format for multiple nodes. I have seen many colleagues inquire about this issue. An example would be to import feed items through the feeds module while forgetting to set the text format for the target node. After these items are imported to Filtered-html, images may not show in teasers, etc. Therefore in order to allow these items to become visiible, multiple changes in these nodes are required.

We at Aller Media in Norway are implementing Drupal7 on some of our high traffic sites and we have the need for an advanced frontpage node administration module.

We have this functionality in our legacy CMS we developed in-house, and we plan to port this functionality to Drupal. I have researched quite a bit on this topic and have not found such existing functionality in Drupal. Although it could be hacked together with existing modules like Nodequeue/Draggable views, Scheduler, Views, Blocks and the Dashboard, it still does not satisfy the requirements.

Here is our requirement:

This is a proposal for a module that can accomplish a more advanced node ordering for frontpage.

Features

• Birds eye view of all nodes currently on frontpage, and all nodes in different workflow statuses.
• Drag and drop nodes onto the frontpage queue to any position to publish that node to that position.
• Real-time statistic numbers for each node to compare how well they are doing on the frontpage.
• Drag and drop to change positions of nodes in the queue.

Hi there,

I've been experimenting with Drupal, planning to migrate a website from Typo3. As a part of the migration, I've been rethinking the structure and setup of the site and would really appreciate your input.

Current setup:

Es un poco raro lo que os voy a decir pero... allá va:

Quiero crear un panel de administración propio. Es decir, no usar el de drupal. Porque por ejemplo, si es una web para clientes, y tengo que hacer un sistema (más) fácil para el manejo de artículos, ¿cómo lo debería de hacer?

Just a quick note for anyone with an iOS device and a Drupal site that the Drupad app is on sale for $1 right now, down from $5. So if you hadn't gotten around to buying it yet, now's the time.

I recently got the admin role in the Sweden group, but I cannot find any information about what an admin is supposed to do. Is there any page describing this? I noticed some changes such as the permission to edit any post, using panels etc, but it would be great to have a complete list of the permissions and responsibilities of an admin.

Perhaps the about page could include a section describing the different roles at g.d.o such as Webmaster, Group Manager, Admin, Authenticated User and Anonymous User.

As for most of our sites we want to turn revisions on for all content types, a module (or D7 core patch) to do this from somewhere with a single switch (or checkboxes for all content types in one place) would be nice.

Questions:
* Is there already a module that does this, hiding from my searches?
* Should other per-content-type workflow settings also be centralized?
* Where should centralized settings like this live in the administration menu?

So, you probably have heard of drush, and maybe you have not tried it yet. I tried it quite a while ago, and found it to be somewhat of a hassle. But I yesterday I decided to give it another go, and see all the buzz everyone's talking about.

My new SEO Friend modules is available at:

http://drupal.org/project/seo_friend

The module is meant to be used with other Drupal SEO modules, particularly (for now) nodewords, nodewords_bypath, page_title, and pathauto.

I would love feedback and suggestions for new features.

Thanks,
Kristen
