Is anyone using tagging as a replacement for real category hierarchy ? If I had an entertainment site with books, movies, music.. would tagging be a feasible way to skip creating a real category structure and use tagging instead ?
I am wondering is there any room for hacks dealing with Drupal. I know we've done some work that we would never consider releasing as a module as they're too dirty to be included as modules. However, the hacks are pretty cool as they can create types of websites that are not possible with standard Drupal... Just want to get some general feedback.
Drupal is a amazing platform for us in the non-profit sector who is not so technologically "advanced" but certainly has a great interest in using and promoting to its own groups and networks of people and organizations further more these initiatives.
While creating a real drupal-powered site I need to implement some features, which are not provided by Drupal core or its modules. So I need to search for drupal developers, set them tasks, pay and recieve a result. Disadvantages of this way are evident - poor quality and time over-expenditure.
I created a module that displays a block, and a user defined module. I gave the blocks the same path: <^(!?$)|^node$>. What is suposed to happen is that the blocks only appear on non-front page nodes. However, the Module-derived blocks act as they are supposed to, yet the user defined blocks do not appear on nodes where I have created url aliases.
Is this because the module code gets executed before the URL aliasing code, which gets executed before the User defined block code?
I have a client who is looking seriously at SharePoint for an intranet option. While making a pitch to overhaul this company's web site, I mentioned that the Drupal CMS could do the job equally as well as any b.s. Microsoft app. They were quite intrigued to say the least. No one likes to pay for licensing before they even start the process and we all know just how well Microsoft products hold up over time :-).
