Breadcrumbs

I once asked for help with getting the vocabulary name to appear as the top level in the breadcrumbs, but of course it's not really itself a term, and the breadcrumbs only return terms (i.e. categories) in 4.6. So the offered solution was to put another category immediately below the root and put the whole taxonomy under this term. This then appears in the breadcrumbs as the top level next to home. Perfect. And with taxonomy context, you can even get all the subterms to appear as a nice category list.

However...I've now hit a serious problem. I have five vocabularies and each have large taxonomies. The largest has about 700 terms (jobs) arranged into numerous subcategories. There is significant overlap in the meanings of the terms and so many terms sit in one, two, three and even sometimes four categories. This is not a problem if one uses multiple parent. In fact, that is exactly the advantage of Drupal over other CMS in that it allows that typically semantic overlap in designing a taxonomy.

But, and this is a big problem, in order to get the top category to appear in the Breadcrumb, a top level term had to be used. With multiple parent enabled, every time it pulls a term from the vocabulary, it also pulls this top level term and puts it into the breadcrumb. If a term appears under three subterms, then it repeats the top level term three times in the breadcrumb. With multiple categories already appearing in the breadcrumb, it starts to look cluttered and when you realise there are repeated terms, it starts to look very unprofessional.

Drupal.org hacked? [No]

Was Drupal.org hacked a few hours ago? Without warning, as I was navigating around Drupal.org, I was redirected to a proxy page at http ://w ww.netshaq.com/cgiproxy/nph-proxy.cgi/011100A/http/drupal.org/node/48737, which showed the Drupal.org content with a banner ad across the top.

Shortly after, the Drupal.org domain was being redirected to a subdomain of OSL, presumably in response to the hack. As of now, it is back to normal.

Would appreciate feedback from the Drupal core developers about how we can patch our own installations, if necessary.

Thanks,

Google hitting XTracker all the time

I don't know why, but google hits my xtracker page 100s of times per day. I've got the statistics module on, and my does not have a lot of visitors yet, so the top viewed pages are mostly the ones google looks at. Just look at this.

Suppress a Page or Filter Events

New Drupal User. I have created a calendar and want to suppress/filter events out so it will display only events for the facility page that it is attached too at the time. Example, I have 3 departments and 1 calendar, I want events for Dept A to appear when Page A is showing, only Dept B events when it is selected, etc...

Preferred ways to building a Drupal cracker!

I'm listening for preferred approaches to drupal site development.

Someone might prefer an evolutionary approach to development and go with the flow, whereas someone else might have definitive requirements to achieve and needs a methodological waterfall type approach. I'm looking for a waterfall type approach where the requirements are agreed, the specifications written, then ...

As a starter, my question relates to whether one should design the template before the drupal configuration? or vice versa?
