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 :-).
Just helping spread the word about the Make Poverty History campaign.....if you're up for supporting it use the following code below.. (insert it into your page, just below the BODY tag. e.g. If you're using phptemplate theme, just paste it in to your page.tpl.php file after the BODY tag.)
