Drupal Administration

The longer I have my mac the more things I find that drastically simplify my life as a Drupal developer. Now for fairness sake I should admit that there are still some things about mac that annoy me (namely Finder which is in many ways inferior to the windows explorer), but that is another story all together. Drush, the command line tool for Drupal is one of those many little things that make me very happy to have broken free from the slimy grasp of Bill Gates and his minions.

I am new to Drupal and learning. I have used other packages in the past and am in the process of switching to Drupal. Quite a unique and complex package at times. I have had to change my thinking of how I go about designing a website. I would like to know if you can direct me to a tutorial or place that explains how you go about creating menus and secondary menus etc. Thanks.

Hello everybody!

I'm not a newbie ;) but I'm stuck with a problem, which I thought to be easy to solve with drupal.

I want to use a 2D-Taxonomy and to display it in a table-like (matrix) view, like:

  1 2 3
A x   y
B

 

y,z  
C y   z

Hi Aaron, I have created a View for a video gallery and added taxonomy filters to it plus ordering by Five Star rating having followed a video tutorial here http://www.lullabot.com/videocast/building-views-fivestar-and-votingapi. How do I create a tabbed view? So the first tab view would have the sorted by 5 star rating (highest rated), and the other tabs be Most Viewed, Recently added... Thanks. Tim

I have been looking at your Advanced Taxonomy Blocks module. But before I can really look at it I need to sort out some taxonomy and Views basic... My site will have numerous business type directories, country, region and city reviews, and classifieds. How is the best way to set up taxonomy for such a site? Plus I want users to be able add the locations themselves as I cannot find and neither do I want to type in every possible location - Freetagging?

The Views module for Drupal 6 (also known as Views 2) ships with several default views which allow you to override certain Drupal core list pages. One of the most useful of these views is the view provided for taxonomy term list. Just recently I decided to set up views to override my taxonomy pages so that they would show children terms, but when I jumped into the Views 2 interface and tried to actually do it I was left a little perplexed; if you are reading this page you probably were too.

After spending the last week and a half coding like a mad man and testing the thing to make sure there were no glaring bugs I am finally releasing the Advanced Taxonomy Blocks module. This module took a lot more time and effort than I had expected due to the fact that the Drupal api doesn’t provide a taxonomy tree array that gives all of the necessary information in order to integrate with the JQuery menu module and also due to the fact that I had to rewrite a couple of functions in the JQuery menu module in order to get it to open up for other modules to use.
