Views
You need Views if You like the default front page view, but you find you want to sort it differently. You like the default taxonomy/term view, but you find you want to sort it differently; for example, alphabetically. Views can do a lot more than that, but those are some of the obvious uses of Views. Views for Drupal 8 Views is in Drupal 8 Core! Recommended versions of Views! For new installs of Drupal 6, we recommend the 6.x-3.x branch. The 6.x-2.x branch of Views is in critical/security maintenance mode only. Dependencies The Drupal 7 version of Views requires the Chaos Tool Suite also known as CTools. Views' bug squad The Views' bug squad is a group of people who have dedicated a few hours a week to help provide support and fix bugs in the issue queue.

Views attach Note: This module has been deprecated for Drupal 7 in favor of its phoenix, EVA. This module provides two additional Views display plugins, "Profile" and "Node content". These displays do not display on a page but get "attached" to either a user page or nodes of specified types. These views are not stored with the user or node, the way viewreference.module would, so they can be globally-reconfigured. The node content display can be reordered on the "Manage fields" tab if CCK is enabled. Usage tips Many people have asked how to use this module to show content related to the node or user to which a view is attached. Create a nodereference field on some node type. The same approach works for nid, uid, userreference, or similar fields. Videos Mustardseed Media has posted an excellent videocast on using Views Attach with Nodereference URL. Oliver Seldman has also posted a video from the LA Drupal group showing how to use Views attach with Content Profile. Credits

The files directory In most cases, Drupal would create the files directory for you. If Drupal can't create the directory, follow the instructions below. After installing Drupal, you will need to ensure the directory files can be accessed by your Web server. Here’s how: In the folder sites/default create a new directory called files. Most FTP programs will allow you to create the new directory and set its permissions. Once you've completed these steps confirm the appropriate permissions have been assigned by navigating to Administer -> Reports -> Status report. Troubleshooting Apache-based Web Servers If the directory files is not "owned" by the Web server there are two ways to proceed. Ideally you will be able to change the "owner" of the directory files to match the name of the Web server. $ ps aux |grep apache # for Apache 2.x$ ps aux |grep httpd # for Apache 1.x Depending on your Web server one of these commands will return a series of lines like this: www-data 13612 0.1 0.9 50640 20340 ?

Workflow The workflow module allows the creation and assignment of arbitrary workflows to Drupal node types. Workflows are made up of workflow states. For example, a workflow with the states Draft, Review, and Published could be assigned to the Story node type. Transitions between workflow states can have actions assigned to them. If you are interested in the future of the workflow module, please join the workflow group on groups.drupal.org . Watch the FOSDEM 2005 video where John VanDyk presents actions and workflows if you are unfamiliar with the concepts (video is at homepage.mac.com/drupal/*-drupalconf-workflow.ogg (replace the * in the filename with the word 'please') and requires something like VLC ). If you are still using Workflow 5.x it it strongly recommended that you update your site to Drupal 6 or 7. Notes: If you are upgrading from Drupal 6 to Drupal 7 versions of Workflow, please be aware that there has been a complete overhaul of module layout. NEW Jan 29, 2013: NEW Feb 20, 2013:

Content types and fields In Drupal, a Content Type is a pre-defined collection of data types (Fields) which relate to each other by an informational context. In this sense, "context" means "parts that should be considered as a correlated whole." Content Types are how site editors can input original content on a Drupal site, and are the building blocks for structured authoring and content. Content types often work in conjunction with Views, which is one way you can serve up content to your end users; you can control the content types that appear and the order in which they appear. Developers can also customize the authoring experience in the same way. One way to think of content types is to visualize the contacts on your mobile phone. The Field UI module provides an administrative user interface (UI) for attaching and managing fields. Managing fields with the Field UI Uses Planning fields There are several decisions you will need to make before defining a field for content, comments, etc Reusing fields Remove field

Panels An Overview of Panels The Panels module allows a site administrator to create customized layouts for multiple uses. At its core it is a drag and drop content manager that lets you visually design a layout and place content within that layout. Integration with other systems allows you to create nodes that use this, landing pages that use this, and even override system pages such as taxonomy and the node page so that you can customize the layout of your site with very fine grained permissions. Integration with CTools module Panels 3 utilizes the CTools' system of "context" so that the content you place on the page can be aware of what is being displayed. Panels uses Contexts - What are they? In a Panel, you can create contexts, which represent the objects being displayed. In addition, these contexts can be checked for information and use that not only to make content available to be displayed, but to choose which layout to display! Panels can also be used for items smaller than pages.

Nodequeue The Nodequeue module allows users to collect nodes in an arbitrarily ordered list. The order in the list can be used for a any purpose, such as: A block listing teasers for the five top news stories on a siteA user’s favorite music albumsA group of favorite from which one is randomly displayed Nodequeue provides a simple drag-and-drop interface to manually order any queue. Additionally, it allows nodes to be added and removed from queues without needing edit permissions to the node. Smartqueue API Nodequeue provides a robust API that allows other modules to define smartqueues, which are associated with external data. Modules that Extend Nodequeue: Smartqueue per-user: Makes a personal queue available to users of one or more roles.Smartqueues for Organic Groups: Makes a queue available for ordering by members of an Organic Group or Group admins only. Apache Solr Search Integration Nodequeue contains an extensive API. Releases for 5.x and prior are unsupported at this time.
