A View with exposed filters begins like any other View: Administer » Structure » Views, Add new view (admin/structure/views/add). View name, suggestions (remember this is akin to the machine name), View description, Suggestions (this is the name used on Views administration pages), and View type, Node.
Next page, the real View configuration.
a markup editor with an real-time preview is a superior solution to WYSIWYG, because there is no true WYSIWYG
and AJAX preview allows us to see what is truly going to be there when we hit save
in the dgd7 project folder:
cd drupal
drush dl bueditor ajax_markup
git add sites/all/modules/bueditor sites/all/modules/ajax_markupFor the 6.x-2.x branch of BUEditor, all we need to do is change the Preview button code to js: E.prvAjax();
We will commonly want some people to have a convenient block of links they are likely to need, and not show this to other people. We can do this in Drupal by giving people who should have common tasks or abilities in common a shared role, making a menu of the links we want to show, and placing the block with this menu into the region of our choice.
The generic goal is a view of content useful to administrators or other privileged users. If it were possible for this goal to be met in a generic fashion, it is more than likely Drupal (or a module) would be providing it for us already, out of the box. Indeed, Drupal core does provide a very useful list of content available at the Content or Find content links (admin/content).
Our authors will want to add pictures, screenshots, and diagrams to the draft chapters or bonus content hosted on the web site.
drush dl insert image_resize_filter
FIXNOTE: At time of writing, insert did not have a recommended release and Drush could not download.
[The source code of the module developed in this section can had at gitorious.org/remarkup. It will be on Drupal.org but this author is Waiting For Git.]
Drupal's input filters are a fairly simple and powerful way to change how our content is displayed.
Along the way, we will see how easy, non-scary, and useful making a module can be.
