modules

A new module pushed into the wild! This module takes the grunt work out of creating url aliases for views using taxonomy term id arguments.

Lately I have been seeing more and more examples of cutting edge sites built on Drupal. My favorite magazine just went completely collaborative online with a great redesign and a full suite of community features - check it out...Fast Company @ http://www.fastcompany.com/.

Do you know how many extensions (modules) there are for Drupal?

Need some good modules for starting a Drupal blogging site? Look no further…

Drupal Views are a fairly wonderful creation. They allow all kinds of usable, well….VIEWS, of your data in a Drupal site. They allow you to view your data either as a page or a block (or an RSS feed, etc), however one thing was was lacking was the ability to page content within a view block. The default view blocks provide you simply with a “more” link that will take you to the full blown page view. That was not working for us, or one of our clients and something has to give.

At Phase2, as we develop more and more Drupal Platforms (more on this another time) we wind up with many custom modules that are not contributed back to drupal.org. They are either too tied to a specific client, or something that is not ready for general consumption, or frankly, the client might see as a strategic competitive advantage. Regardless of the reason, for modules not hosted on drupal.org you lose some ability to have the wonderful update_status module provide info to your site implementations when the custom modules are out of date….or so I thought.
