In my experience, there are several users who don't feel comfortable using the standard Drupal interface to create content on their website. I've noticed that this is the case with reforestation.net, I site I manage: even though I provide users with accounts and training, almost all users end up sending me their content (including images and text) via email, and I have to upload it myself to the Drupal site. The main reasons cited for not posting content to Drupal are: it's too complicated, connection too slow (especially in Africa and the Caribbean); and it does not work as expected.

You can combine Views bulk operations with your own code to make powerful actions which can be applied to several nodes at the time.

Here is some sample code to create an action:


/* describe your action(s) */
function mymodule_action_info() {
return array(
'mymodule_action_callback' => array(
'type' => 'node',
'description' => t('My action description.'),
'configurable' => FALSE,
)
);
}

function mymodule_action_callback(&$node, $context) {

I have a CCK field with an image on my page nodes. I want to display a block with the CCK field value on its related node, but nothing on non-pages.

This often works in the views preview, but not on the actual page. This was driving me nuts and I spent a few hours finding this solution:

Create view with

• Filter: node nid > 0
• Argument: node nid, Action to take if argument is not present: Provide default argument: node nid from URL; validator: basic. Action to take if does not validate: Hide view
• Create a new block display and you're done!

Many hosts restrict the number of inodes you can use on a VPS or shared account.

If you have shell access, the following commands are useful to determine how many inodes you are using:

Background: I was recently making a Drupal site where I needed (as is often the case) a visual text editor along with image- and file-upload capabilities. I tried using the wysiwyg module in conjunction FCKEditor 2.6.x, which is a good combination for that purpose.

Since this does not work out of the box, I followed the instructions here.

If you have a drupal site on a cPanel account, you can set up cron in cPanel. Here is how:

(1) Your site is, say, example.com
(2) Log into cPanel (example.com/cpanel)
(3) Go to cron jobs > standard
(4) Enter the following code in your cron:

(replace example.com with your actual website)
